When the PSI hit 400 on the morning of 21st June 2013 in Singapore, there was a certain level of panic in some people. Mummy and Daddy were some of these people. When Daddy looked out of his office and all he could see was just plain white, something wasn't quite right. Like what Aunty Charlene in Daddy's office said, it looked like Genting without the cold temperature. They decided it was not safe to be staying around and frantically booked tickets out to Bangkok. The earliest available tickets were on Sunday morning and when we were on the plane this morning flying into
Bangkok, we were quite sure there were many others who felt the same as Daddy and Mummy as the plane was full. This was something you would see at the beginning of the week, perhaps to take advantage of a long weekend, and not something which happens on a Sunday morning.
By the time we checked into Grand Centre Point Hotel at Terminal 21, it was almost 2pm. It could have been later if not for the fact that we were ushered into the priority queue at the immigration because of me and Andrea. The were easily 1,000 people waiting to go through the checkpoint. The room was perfect and Mummy couldn't be happier with the king size bed and beautiful decoration.
We freshened up and quickly headed back to the lobby and asked for a cab to Erawan Bangkok where Nara Cuisine was located. Daddy had been there before and he loved the food so wanted us to try it too. Unfortunately there was a jam along the road and what could have been only 15 minutes on the BTS turned out to be an hour in the cab. Daddy was frustrated as he was hungry and knew that having 4 hungry people stuck in a jam was dangerous. Thank goodness Andrea and I fell asleep and that lessen
the frustration in him. When we finally got there, Daddy ordered like there is no tomorrow and surprisingly we finished all the food. It was good and Andrea and I liked the deep fried spring roll because we got to dip it in the sweet sauce. We ended lunch with their local version of Chendo and we had fun cos they gave us like 8 toppings and we could take whatever we like, as much as we like. It was awesome!
After lunch, we walked over to Central World and although Mummy and Daddy wanted to shop around, it was not going to happen with Andrea and me around. So we ended up amusing ourselves at the photo booth and even managed to get a couple of nice pictures.
We also spent some time in Boots cos there were somethings Mummy and Daddy found here that were not available back home. Finally we ended at the supermarket where we bought Andrea's diapers and by that time, we were all pooped and Daddy had to carry Andrea all the way to Chitlom BTS station for the train back as we were not going to get stuck in the jam for another hour. By the time we got back to the hotel, it was already 8pm and after a good shower, we headed straight to bed. It was a good first day in Bangkok. Tomorrow we will be going to the Safari World. I cannot wait....
