I'M NOT EMO ANYMORE!!! XD I just came back from thailand! Yes - no more moaning, just more bragging!
First day - boring cuz we arrived at 19 20 and took another hour to get out of the airport. We stayed at Regency Park, the hotel my father was currently staying at. It was quite nice and reminded me of Holiday Inn Penang.
Second day - things are livening up but still boring. We went to The Emporium. Everything was too expensive to buy, so I was like REALLY sad when i saw this like really cool outfit but couldnt buy it.
THIRD DAYTHINGS HIT THE CLIMAX!!!!!!!!! We went to the floating market first, on a one-day tour. On the way we saw this monitor lizard sitting happily on a step just out of reach of the murky water. Yes the market floated on water and we took a boat there. We didn't buy anything but a packet of mangoes and pomalo. Boring.
Then we went to the Elephant Farm, or something. But all we did was get off the van, pee and go off, becuz the elephant ride was 600 baht. It was so funny. Nobody in the tour van wanted to go so we just went off to the next stop - the Snake Farm. When we came to the entrance we saw this guy carrying this... um, rather long python. So i begged my dear dad to let me take pics. It only cost S$2.50. But I dun have the pics now. LET ME REMIND YOU I DIDNT KNOW PYTHONS COULD STRANGLE THEIR PREY!!!! But I did wonder if it was trying to strangle me when it twisted around in my hand, squeezing my hand. It was very heavy - i didnt expect it. Anyway it kind of like came near my face, flicking its bluey-purple tongue in and out. I LIKED THE TONGUE A LOT. Its like, really forked. The two ends are so long haha. Anyway it sort of nudged my mouth and then went behind my neck. Then the guy put it in front again. Then it nudged my mouth and went behind my neck again. And he took it off. Haha. Anyway. Then I went around the snake tanks, looking at the different snakes. And then at the end of the snake tanks there was this coiled snake. I cannot remember what snake it was. There was this mouse about the size of my palm. It was cowering in the furthest corner of the tank. Its tiny bald baby was climbing weakly over its tail but the mother only licked it briskly and then rolled into a tight ball again, its eyes closed, its paws held together as though it was praying. Praying to escape the gaping mouth of death. There was another baby behind them. It was in half. And dang it I DONT KNOW WHY IT WAS IN HALF SO STOP MAKING IT SEEM COMICAL! The mother mouse kept shivering and closed its eyes. I really felt mixed feelings for snakes. I liked them and yet I hated them.
Anyway then we went to the Crocodile Farm & Zoo. We watched the Elephant Show and the Crocodile Show. Both were quite boring, not to hurt the animals' feelings. The people made it boring. Anyway there was this pair of tigers there! They were chained to this thingy on the ground, so they ARE real. At the end of the shows, I went to look at them. They were posing for pics with the people who paid enough money to go in. The person overseeing them suddenly pretended to hit one of the tigers - the one on the left. The tiger shrunk away from the cane and buried its face into the other's neck. I was like OMG! THAT WAS SO CRUEL!!!!! Then I stood there feeling sad until my parents came over to drag me away.
Fourth day - we went to the Chatuchak Weekend Market. I bought some souvenirs there, and some clothes HAHA. But on the whole it was hot and boring. Anyway after that we went to walk by the river. It was really quite boring.
Fifth day - we went to Siam Paragon. We didnt really buy anything there because all of it was branded shops. Anyway we ate at this Japanese restaurant because my father got this card from his friend that allowed the owner to use the vip room for free. So. THE FOOD WAS SCRUMPTIOUS, but I don't have the stamina to write it all down. I hate writing long posts. I'm so bored already. We ate a lot, I couldnt stuff my stomach back in and we all staggered home like drunkards.
The last day - we took off. Bye bye bangkok... haiix...
