Day 3:
We woke up earlier because we booked a half day guided tour to Grand Palace.
Daily breakfast at hotel. Parents are happy with the breakfast buffet spread given the standard of a budget hotel.
Hit the road on a mini van with the guide and we passed some war memorial monuments
Grand Palace in sight
bought tickets and entered. haha papa took this pic of me
sooooooo many tourists
Solid eh!
Shining gold architecture
Look at the sun. It's crazily hottttt
Colonial buildings with a touch of Thai architecture on the roof.
Had lunch at MBK's food court
Food courts in Thailand issue a card before you enter it. It's works on either a credit or debit system. For this food court, you order food using this card and pay upon exit. Marche kind of concept. For others, you deposit any amount into the card and claim the balance upon exit.
We three decided to leave the food court after surveying the place and sneaked in Subway because the food prices in the food court was crazily overpriced! Folks just settled for fried rice there.
Was snacking time after lunch! Had mini waffles and..
..this! Looks like fruits? It's actually jelly outer covering with bean paste inside! A different rendition of ang ku kuay. Pretty nice!After lunch, it was shopping at MBK's departmental store. It was having EOY sale. We swept tons of Triumph with their crazily low price. Best buy of the entire trip. haha papa went to Mac to sleep while waiting for us to be done.
Shopping break at Starbucks
Dinner was settled in Pratunam Night Market before calling it a day
