We had a roadblock. An obstacle. The kids were armed with water guns. We couldn’t pass that area to get out from the Chatuchak.


these people are dangerous


They found the prey.
The man mooned them earlier.

Finally we made it through. Here’s Wingz’s best friend. The officer gave Wingz the address asking him to forward the photo of him once produced.

We left the place and soon check out from the hotel

The ladies miss Thomas a lot. Look at their face. Awww so cute

After we checked in at the airport, we got about an hour to kill. Asking Thomas what’s his plan, he was counting 1-2-3.



Time for final round of massage perhaps? We manage to find one last massage center. It’s Chang Foot Massage. For your info, three of us fell asleep in there.


By the time we are done, it was almost the boarding time. We had again to run towards the gate.
Otherwise we got stuck in Thailand. LOL.

I laughed myself when I thought about escaping from KL. I recalled back then someone called in back in middle of 2009. I think. I can’t remember though but she called me up, sobbing saying she wanted some $$$ from me. She wanted to run away. She wanted to escape from KL. The place she was heartbroken. I listened and assure her that it is just an impulse. It won’t help to soothe the ache. When she return to KL, eventually she still has to face it after all.
But now, it was I who wanted to escape the KL city.
Everyone whom been to Bali tells me it was great experience and enjoyable. This making me envy and yearn to go to Bali at least for once in my lifetime. Yet, what to do in Bali? I need to do some research still. Meh~

So we went in to the shop, and got comfortable with the ambient and setup. We changed into a comfortable outfit which both Thomas and I fall asleep throughout the massage session. I was like soooo lazy to do anything after that.

On the second day of the holiday in Bangkok earlier this year in March, we decided to walk about around the Courtyard by Marriott before looking for the spot to have dinner.

Three of us were pretty wasted from the shopping earlier this afternoon.

Following up from the Bangkok trip, we did go for the Sky Bar & Distil (Sirocco) or Lebua at State Tower. Taking the cab, we reached there and find the magnificent view at the 64th floor.

We couldn’t bring any bags up including the camera bags. Probably afraid there might be bomb! Standing on top of the Bangkok’s second tallest building, the breathtaking golden dome just more than what I had imagine it would be like. After hanging out for a while, we discovered there is an open air Sirocco restaurant tucked away in a corner. Noticed that the Sky Bar’s counter changes its color every few minutes which magically illuminating the entire area.


The live jazz band was just setting up when we about the leave the place. The dinning seems very classy. A googling about the restaurant tells that reservations are required for Sirocco.
Location: Lebua at State Tower
Open:17:00 – 01:00

Will I return? Definitely yes – and bring a chick. Not ah bengs like Thomas and Wingz


Dropping by for the foot massage, I think all of us fall asleep and wake up wee hours around 2ish looking for a way back to the hotel… Oh blogging about it just makes me wanted to go back to Bangkok again!

Black Sand Beach
Soon the sky getting clear, we headed to other destination before our check-in is due. Next drop was the Black Sand Beach. I often thought the black sand beach was like the Cenang beach or any beach that long stretch along the shores.

When I reached there, it was quite a disappointment to see that the beach seems not being maintained well. According to Yatz, he said that the blackness of the sand is deteriorating. I suspect due to the poor maintenance. It is a pity because I used to hear a lot of stories about the black sand beach. Mostly from the legend of Mahsuri.
