We didn't know that Thailand just celebrated the King's birthday and the following Monday and Tuesday were public holidays. Thank God the Amusement Park was not crowded.
The first thing that welcomed us was the Love Garden. The flowers were well-maintained and beautiful! Can almost imagined couples holding their solemnization ceremony here...
The next stop was 7 Wonders of the World. My favourite was the Great Wall of China :)
Of course, what is an Amusement Park without the kiddo characters for photo sessions. Debbie was real excited when she spotted them! She wanted to take pictures with all of them :)
Told you "do not expect Disney"; it was nothing like having Mickey and Minnie...haha... When we brought the kids to Hong Kong, Debbie was still a baby... Perhaps I should show her the photos to remind her that we brought her to Disneyland before :p
However the rides were pretty similar... There were the usual cars, boats and train rides. As we bought the all-inclusive tickets, we did not have to buy tickets for the rides.
Next was the Fantasy Land. We took some "funny" photos with the giant "buried underground"...
There were the Magic Sword, Little Frog Prince, the usual castle and a little corner called Uncle Tom's Farm. Denise watched the Animal Show while the ladies went shopping at the Wacoal and Naraya outlets located within the Amusement Park...:)
There was a simple Sleeping Beauty Castle. A mannequin was sleeping inside... JX and Denise posed for "funny" photos again!
Besides the Animal Show, we were also treated to a Hollywood Action Show. There were explosives, fire, stunts etc... Good break for us to rest our feet...:)
The next highlight was to the Snow Town. Denise paired with Daddy while Debbie paired with me. The experience was pretty scary...:p As they did not have jackets in Debbie's size, she was literally "hidden" in the photo...:) We only took 1 ride down the steep slope, while Denise and JX went for several rounds.
We ended the trip at 4pm. Went back to our hotel to freshen up before heading towards Isetan for our dinner. What else but Japanese food!!! There were a stretch of 4-5 Japanese restaurants located on the top floor. We chose the one that had a Japanese manager...:) Thinking that the food might be more authentic... Solid and cheap!
After dinner, we visited the Supermarket for yummy ice-cream. We also bought quite a couple of Pocky that comes in unique flavours that we do not find in Singapore.
No photos... but after we dropped off the children and my MIL in the hotel, SIL, JX and I decided to venture to the Suan Lum Night Market. Didn't buy anything much, except for some Thailand goodies for family and CG.
This was also where I tried foot massage for the FIRST TIME! Yah, first time!!! I am not a massage person but it was very cheap, so decided to give it a try... I told the lady it was my first experience, please "have mercy" on my feet... Not bad...:)
Day 3: Trip to the Siam Ocean World...
