2nd Thailand Trip - Bangkok (Day2)

Day 2

We woke up early to go to chatuchat JJ market

The original building of reflection - under renovation
The current building does not have DVD room, boutique shop or massage place
My light breakfast - Saving for chatuchat street bite
Very different from normal hotel again.. they provide simple and local breakfast like congee, spicy basil chicken, fried rice... Cornflake, muesli and yogurt are on request :)
The husband is not very happy with the breakfast selection... he is comparing to grand diamond sumptuous variety
Morning chatuchat - we came too early... only 10% of the shop are open
Pet street - no photos allow T_T the puppies are super cute!! there are good breed like chiwawa, pug and even husky!
Cool Doggy with sun-glass and shoes
Inho saw this in Mel house and he wanted to get one too (wall deco on shoes rack wall) The guy quote us 3000 at first and 2500 for last price... since it was still early, we decide to walk around more
Vintage hair clip and rings
Cooling Sherbet
Inside JJ shopping mall - we saw cute letter box!!!
and creative button designed necklace/keychain 80thb
Back to chatuchat - Lunch was inside chatuchat
Inho say we are the only non-locals there and they are staring at us!!
Stew pork knuckle rice - uber tender super soft!!! practically melt in your mouth
The satisfied husband
While on other hand i tried local beef noodle with lotsa fish sauce
Shiok this is yummy, good!! Totally dig !!
We lost the shop, the one that quote us 2500... we route round and round but the street look different after all other shop open up~ by this time when we found this other small little shop my leg almost break 7 hours of walking!!! T_T so swollen
The lady quote us 4000thb at first.. we closed the deal at 2300thb (almost $100 SGD) for a 1meter x 1meter hand painted painting
Waiting for the lady boss to pack
This is very similar to the one we picked.. just the background was a little dimmer.. closer to dark brown-black... With harvest, we end our long run at chatuchat market :D
Back to Reflection/Mystic Place
Room 212 My Boo Shit

The hotel staff already help us to move our luggage to our 2nd room
Day look of My boo shit - Vandalism 1980s rocker theme
Everyone can leave their name on the wall - we saw people from Taiwan, HK, Korea leaving their footsteps behind!!
Room floor are covered with some sliver wrapping material (the one they use to wrap ROYCE chocolate) ... very comfortable for our tired feet :)Outside the room - Smoking Corner
Taking the free hotel tuk tuk out
My wonderful guide book in Bangkok
The husband and i took BTS to Agalico for high tea
Walkable via Thonglor BTS station
Agalico - Recommended by illyqueen
A famous Thai designer's private resident, open on weekend for the public to have a cozy weekend high tea session
Imagine this is someone's backyard - sibei rich
An octagon in his backyard
The Queen Seat
So lucky, we got seat on the 2nd floor :)
The royalty husband reading magazine Haha
Variety of tea box as wall display
Toilet - Simple but classic
The king still reading magazine while we wait for our high tea to be serve
Our second floor seat
Blueberry Cheese Cake
Ice mocha with cream
Hot scone *luv* I cannot resist the buttery taste and the smell of freshly baked floor!!!
Wiped cream cheese and strawberry jam for scone
Choice of english breakfast tea
Best part of Bangkok will definitely be their price :) such kind of high tea is only cost us about 400+thb
Finally i have a chance to sit on the royalty seat before going :)
Right outside Phrong Phrong BTS exit 5 - Very accessible
I fell down from the overhead bridge while taking this picture
My knee cap was still bleeding so i only took up the 1 hr leg massage 300+50thb!! The masu was a Chinese Thai auntie~ very nice, caring and she seems to know all the aching point!!!
There was a sudden pour.. T_T we have to skip our cruise dinner!!! *unlucky*
Back to Town - Chilom Area
The famous 4 face Buddha - so popular even under pouring rain
Famous Bangkok traffic - can fight with Indonesia
Tired Inho screaming for food
Dinner was at an authentic Thai restaurant recommended by the information counter lady
Thailand fish cake roll with sweet sour sauce
At first i wasnt very happy when ino wanted to order this.. Fish cake? what's so special?
but the moment you bite .. another surprise.. 2 different type of fish cake layering, 2 different texture together with the crispy outer skin!!! Appetizing
Crab meat fried rice.. so-so cant really taste the crab~ i still prefer chilli or cheesy crab!!
Some Thai appetizer wrapped with lettuce
There is meat, peanut, onion or lemon grass, basil leave :)
Creamy Panang chicken
I think i can eat this curry chicken with basil leave everyday
Back to hotel - Night view of my boo shit room (with blue neon light)
The husband came out for "fresh air" again
Vintage accessories i bought from Chatuchat 19-22thb each
The only dress i bought 300thb
Cute little toy - i am inspired by mijoko's little green toy to buy this! :p
The husband cute little fluffy - I think he wana put inside Ah-vic
Cute mini hats for MIL Monster dog Minki and Chongyi
They are call monster dog becoz they eat KIMCHI!!
My injured leg~ lucky i was grabbing on to the pillar :) if not i wouldn't imagine~
