We flew Singapore Airline from Singapore to Bangkok (S$264 each) and arrived at BKK airport at around 8pm. Took a big cab to our Airbnb located between Sukhumvit 22 & 24 (800 baht inclusive of 75 baht for toll fees). It’s a townhouse that can accommodate 12 people, and the rental for three nights cost S$252. After settling down in the apartment, we walked about 10 mins to the main road and had our dinner at a popular duck noodle shop at Rama IV, opposite BMW showroom.

Woke up 9am and had breakfast in the apartment before walking to Asia Herb Association for foot massage, 600 baht for 60 mins (inclusive of a pot of tea after the massage). This place has nice environment and would definitely come back again for more. After massage, we walked over to Sukhumvit Soi 22 for lunch at Khing Klao. The food here is not very good as suggested by the reviews in Google map and would not recommend to eat here for Thai food. After lunch, we walked back to Soi 24 and did some shopping in The Emporium Shopping Mall. For dinner, we head out to Thonglor area and had Japanese food at Honmono Restaurant, quite good. After dinner, we just head down to Wine Connection Tapas Bar and Bistro for few drinks before heading back to apartment. |

Woke up 930am and had breakfast near our apartment before checking out at noon. Took a cab to Triple Two Silom and check into my room, while the other three guys awaits for their flight back to Singapore. After settling in the room, we walked over to Nana Massage for 60 mins foot massage (300 baht). After massage, we had coffee and some snacks before walking back to the hotel room to collect their bags and headed to the airport. Waited for Jean to arrive at the airport at 815pm and was a long queue to take the taxi. The way back to the hotel took us more than 2 hours due to heavy traffic jam as a result of the heavy rain fall earlier that’s caused flooding in some areas. Finally reached hotel at 1115pm. Had dinner in the room. Four night stay in Triple Two Silom cost 8,198 baht without breakfast. |

From Triple Two Silom, we walked about 15 mins to one of the popular breakfast stalls, Kuay Teow Khae, for Kuay Teow noodle (50 & 60 baht choices each bowl). The noodle is quite tasty. After breakfast, we took a cab to Platinum Mall (taxi Farr about 100 baht) and Pratunam area for shopping. From Pratunam centre we walked about 15-20 mins to P’Aor Lobster Noodle for late lunch. This stall is famous for its lobster Seafood Tom yum noodle, which cost 1,200 baht. Tasty Tom yum noodle but the portion is a bit too much for the two of us. After late lunch, we walked back to Platinum Mall for more shopping and end the day with 90 mins foot massage |
