Bangkok - Cruising along Chao Phraya River

It was an unplanned schedule for the first day in Bangkok.After doing some research we planned to visit The Grand Palace. Unfortunately, without doing much research we went there with our casual wear which is forbidden to enter to the temples inside. You´ll need to put a deposit of 200 Bath for renting the sarong or long pants before allow to visit temples . The queue was so long and i gave up to join the crowds.Hence,we decided to cruise along Chao Phraya River which is just around by walking distance. 

We took the personal long tail boat trip costed 1000 Baht per boat and last for 1 hour. During the trip, you will see a different side of life as pass the homes of Klong dwellers.Apart from that you can see typical old houses,temples, shops on how they doing business at the river. 


 
 
 

 
 
Here you see peoples in boat s selling noodles, drinks, snacks, souvenirs, fruits etc.
 
 
It was fun snapping pictures and exploring further into different canals to take a glimpse and winding through the old bangkok . Personally it was a great experience on this boat trip and we don´t think we will do it again as the package was a bit high side for touristsWink.

Simply delicious , i fav the gravy and the tenderness of the pork meat here..it´s was just well cooked.

PANDAN LEAVES WRAPPED WITH BONELESS CHICKEN- they served the chicken immediately after frying for the best of flavour and cripiest texture.Take a piece and dip it with the thai chilis sauce serve along..umnnn..literally make the world go around ...

Singapore's Chinatown night market in sepia

Lately, I've been browsing and playing with my pics of Singapore. I found out that most of the photographies I took at night were too 'noisy', so I couldn't use in my photo albums, but I clicked accidentally the 'sepia' effect in Picasa, and those pics turn out to be much better without color information, but with the old look that only the sepia effect can achieve.

This one is not so 'sepia-ish' but still looks better than the noisy, full colored, original pic.

Clarke Quay

Happend to meet up with friends for dinner at Clarke Quay past few weeks. Craving for the japanese Char Siew ramen which located at CentralTongue out. This restaurant served limited choices of ramen plus some side dishes, but quite lots revisited patrons here. As usual , here are the two dishes we had: char siew ramen and grilled pork belly and happend to be our favourite so far.Wink

  

 

After the dinner, we took a quick stroll outside Central mall, sat on the steps enjoy breezy air near riverbank watching peoples and snapping pictures opposite side of Clarke Quay. Clarke Quay is a well known for clubbing spot and plenty of classy bars and restaurants  if you would like to spent a night and here are the recomended  place to be. ..although it is too touristy place for me Laughing

We had also pooped by at Clinic ( fyi, it is a drinking joint not a clinic)Smile for a couples of beers before heading back. The fun started with  the wheelchairs and clinic look alike kinda setup LaughingI am sure out of curiosity you will busy playing with the wheelchair as we do. We had pretty awesome night, chilling and spending awesome conversation here.
