During our next few days, we checked out from Baiyoke Boutique Hotel, and upgraded ourselves to the very spacious Baiyoke Sky Hotel!! It’s Thailand’s highest hotel, up to 88 storeys. When we were checking in, we got a little lost in fact, as we had no idea that the lobby was actually on the 18th floor instead. But anyway, after some helpful directions, we finally made it in =)
Lunch was then spent with Siangde and Glen again. The latter introduced us to an authentic Korean restaurant along Sukhumvit Road. It was not bad. They even had a Kimchi Tofu soup, which was really tasty! And a seafood tofu soup. Yummy... But where exactly it is, I’m not very sure.
We went our separate ways again after lunch, of which the girl and I explored around the area. Since it was a Friday, we thought of trying our luck at Chatuchak Weekend Market, since we heard that it might be open on Fridays too. We decided to try out their train system, so on we hopped onto the BTS service, and made our way to Mo Chit station. I must say their train system was really good.
When we arrived, most of the stalls were actually not open. So off we went back to our town area, where we walked around the usual Central World etc, and Platinum Mall (again) for shopping, shopping and more shopping to the end of our day!! After which, dinner this time was spent at… KFC!! I always wanted to check out how their chicken there is like, so we decided to give it a try.
Check out the way they serve!! They actually provide glasses for your drinks, knife and fork for your utility, trays for your food, and their sauces are in bottles that are on every table!! It’s soo interesting, because for the first time in my life, I can eat KFC without having to dirty my hands!
On our last day, we had breakfast in the hotel’s restaurant, which was located on the 77th floor.

Nice scenery i would say. Even better at night... And before we flew off back to Singapore, we headed back to Platinum Mall again to scout for some last minute shopping, as well as the nearby roadside markets more polo tees. I think i came back with at least 6 polo tees and 2 for the girl. Till then, we'll be back for more clothing and shopping in the near future. Haha. =)
Thanks for the 'shopping' update. Wonder if you tried the famous buffet meals at the Baiyoke Tower?
Cheers!
