'Original' Golf shirts
Hey guys, just got back from the long overdue Bangkok trip yesterday evening. My flight to Bangkok was on schedule (thank god) however we were delayed for our return flight back. But this time it was because of some 'security' check. Kudos to Captain Kleeman for his up to the minute update of the situation. Ok, back to the trip.. One word comes to mind... AWESOME!!! The newly opened, Suvarnabhumi Airport was impressive. 1st thought when we walked out of the aircraft was that the airport was still in the final completion stage but was impressive non the less. If you haven't been there, imagine KLIA but 4 times bigger. No golf this time as my cuz didn't bother to pack his golf set, but to compensate we went shopping crazy last Saturday. Went to the Chatuchak Weekend Market in the morning, and MBK in the afternoon. Due to the hectic 'shopping schedule' that we had, we didn't had time to go to other places ie. Siam Square, Siam Paragon, Central World Plaza, Thaniya Plaza (Golf Heaven heheh), etc. Luq went crazy when he finally got his hands on his car's head lights and other accessories in MBK. Had lunch in Zen Japanese Restaurant. The food was excellent as usual. Had my usual order of King Prawn Set Meal, and I had to say that I totally 'pigged out' while there. The one thing I don't want to look at is my weight after the weekend...hehehe. Went to Pat Pong in the evening to get some golf shirts and a few other 'original' items you can get your hands on there. A visit to Pat Pong is never complete without the traditional 'lepak' at the nearby Starbucks. Why oh why, hasn't anyone opened a Starbucks here, only god knows. I miss the Chocolate muffins already hahaha.. Anyways, no use crying over spilled milk... All in all, it was a terrific weekend with the usual empty wallets when you get back home. No worries, I'll be back to 'The Land of Smiles' in a fortnight, but this time the missus is coming along. All I know is, she has her eyes set on revenge.. Revenge to shop till she drops that is... hehehe.. Sorry Sayang, just had to say it..
