Xiao Chien's BirthdayThe ticket was booked in January
It seems that I have to wait so long for the trip as it was in May
but the day has come
Day 1 (21/5)
Arrived at Bangkok City's Khao San Road at about 1pm
walking round and round to look for the guest house that we found on net
couldn't find it...
So at last we have decided to put up a night at a hotel along the road
which is “sightable" to us ( to get rid of the heavy luggage)
before continuing our search for the guest house

Breakfast at the hotel
Day 2 (22/5)
We are able to wake up a bit late as it was on our own...
A "tuk tuk" was hired for 200 bhat after our breakfast to take 3 of us round the town for about 6 hours ( the "tuk tuk" do actually waited for us after dropping us at a point) ...
It sounds cheap... as it's only RM20 for 3 for 6 hours yet waiting for you at every spot...
you can take your own sweet time
But later we found out that it cost only about 50 or 60 bhat which is about RM5 or RM6 for the same service
Damn kena con!!!
The first point that the "tuk tuk" driver brought us to was the so called Floating Market
We need to hire a boat in order to get there which cost 3 of us 1800 bhat (RM180)
and to our disappointment it's not the floating market that we normally see in photo or TV
The one that we normally saw was located at a place which took us 2 hours drive to reach there
Damn kena con again!!!
The rest of the spot were OK but the enterence fees is on our own expenses of course...
At the end of the trip ( anyhow he did not finish the journey as promised earlier on), yet we gave him 100 bhat for tips .
Damn, how stupid are we....
Oh ya, and the "tuk tuk" driver loves to bring tourist to the jewellery export centre in order to get some free gasoline for their "tuk tuk"...
It's tiring whenever they say that we need to go to that place...
At the long tail boat

Marble Temple
Some ceremony at the Marble TempleDay 3 (23/5/08)
After being conned earlier on, we decided to walk to the temples that were left out during the "tuk tuk" ride as it is within walking distance
Depending solely on the tourist map we went to the National Museum which is the largest in South East Asia and Wat Mahathat
Met with a friendly lady from Chiang Mai who claim herself to be a doctor who came for conference over here...
That's when she recommended us to go to the silk centre and the jewellery export centre(again!!!)

Then to the TAT company to ask for the price to the floating market....( actually kena con again ) the only thing that we are smart enough was we decided not to buy the Calypso ticket at the TAT company....
they wanted to sell 800 bhat while we can get it for 450 bhat at place near our guest house

To Pangkor Island this time.... on the 17 - 19 of may
Was rushing for my construction model the night before in order for me to be in the trip...
Damn tiring...
in peiling's car to the port in the morning
sleeping like a ZORRO?
on the ferry after about 5 hours of driving
went to some historical site in Pangkor Island... what a stupid pose...haha
oh I'm so yao yeng but by the way what lihsioh is doin?
good shotBasically that's what what happens ...
car... ferry... island and the place....
Then after that went for a boat trip which cost us RM20 each person to take us round the island and a 20mins snookerling
Erm... not to say a marvellous one but reasonable... I guess...
Yeah and we rented 4 motorcycle as we have 8 person on the trip... 4 boys and 4 gals
oh... it's easily to pair up... haha
sounds a bit like pairing up for relationship purpose... :P
We discovered 1 creepy spot on the island when we were riding the motocycles round the island..
It was a road beside the cemetery area... there were huge tree along that particular stretch of road, the leaves overlap each other perfectly without leaving any space for the sunlight to squeeze in ...
The place was so cold that you might have thought of the air conditioner that you have in your house.
You will only feel cold on that spot
Yee, creepy..... (dare not take a picture of it :S)
