Final Day - Trip to Bangkok

Our final day in Bangkok! We dedicated this last day to more SHOPPING! Had breakfast at the hotel and managed to eat a bowl of Tom Yum soup before we left...:)It was authentic; but somehow I prefer those in Singapore... Never realise that Thai food is actually quite sweet...

The best part about staying in Amari Watergate is its location... We were directly opposite The Platinum; it is the largest and newest wholesale fashion mall in Bangkok! Shopping in Platinum was crazy... People were "armed" with huge bags! And if you buy 3 or more pieces from a single shop, you can get as high as 50% discount for accessories and 30% discount for apparel! We brought 2 half-filled luggages, 1 empty luggage and 2 haversacks to Bangkok. We returned with all of them filled to the max...:) Felt so satisfied!

Checking in now; Debbie was so tired...zzzzz..... Notice Denise's princess luggage? It is a birthday gift from our domestic helper. It cost $49.90, about 1/6 of her monthly salary...:( She bought this for Denise in Singapore; in time for this trip... She is always very generous with us!

Well, with all our luggages filled, you can imagine the amount of stuff we bought! Above were the gifts for our friends, Christmas presents for all the children, gifts for Denise's teachers and many others...

Then there were the food stuff! We bought snacks for Denise's classmates and refreshment for our CGs. It did not help that we were coming back to 3 days of fasting. We were so tempted to eat them all before we come back to Singapore...:)

Of course, last but not least, clothings, accessories and presents for OURSELVES!!! I always envy people that come back with loads of shopping stuff! This was definitely an unforgetable trip for me. Cheap food, cheap shopping, nice hotel... People warned me that Bangkok is very hot...but not at all! In fact, Singapore can be hotter at times... Probably the only thing I was paranoid about was losing my wallet and money or worse my children... But just need to be extra careful and not to be too engrossed with your own shopping...

Was thinking that this would be the last overseas trip before Denise starts P1 next year... BUT!!! We are going to KL next week! Hahah..... Will be leaving on Sunday afternoon so that we can reach KL in time to celebrate Denise's birthday with her KL buddies....

Yippee!!! KL, here we come....
