Two Weeks in Thailand Pt. 2

June 15

Today was a busy day because it was the weekend and this was the only weekend where my sister and I would get to spend the full day together. So first we went out for breakfast. I was trusting my sister to know where she was going but she ended up getting us lost. So I insisted we go back to a mall area. I just wanted something quick to eat so we could start our activites, nothing fancy
like my sister. After that we went to Ekkamai where this huge Japanese-style mall was located. I. FOUND. HEAVEN! I bought some Japanese Magazines because why buy Thai magazines when  I can actually READ Japanese? Happie Nuts and Vivi were among the selection. I even stumbled upon a a maid cafe! It was the only one in Thailand too. Lucky, much. The girls were so nice and even thoguh I knew pictures weren't allowed, I asked anyway. They said no :( No worries, I took a picture of the sign. I was fangirling like a true otaku. 
After exploring that mall and all it's treasures we headed to MBK. How do you describe MBK? MBK is flawless (high fives to those who know that reference). Seriously though, MBK is not for everyone. It's a bargain mall. That's really all I have to say about it. There's lots of electronics, pirated DVD's and music, phone cases galore, and amazing food. It's def. a tourist's spot. After that adventure, we got on the BTS and headed toward Saphran Taksin and took the Chao Phraya Express Boat to Asiatique. Asiatique is my second home. Yeah, it takes a long time to get there, bu damn is it worth it. This is the Atlantic Station to Atlanta, the Times Square to New York. Everybody comes here, esp. tourists and on the weekends. It's a hot spot to see. After all the shopping and eating, I was beat and ready to go home to start another day.
Breakfast Fail

Two Weeks in Thailand Pt.1

So here I am in Thailand again and I couldn't have come at a worse time. It will NOT stop raining. I obviously came during the monsoon season. Well, you win some you lose some. Since my sister has to work the whole week, I have to tour the city on my own and let me just say, it's been a breeze. I am so in love with this city and the people. Everyone's so nice and helpful, even though the language barrier is probably the worst of my problems.

NOTE: I didn't take pictures of the first two days because I forgot my camera. Sorry :(

Plane Ride: June 9
It was a 6 hr plane ride from Dubai to Thailand and I just couldn't wait to get there! Here's a shot I took right before landing. I thought the sky looked serene, it put me at peace.
