Bangkok Trip - April 2005

My long planned trip abroad finally became reality when my Mum decided that she give those tickets. Yeah THAI AIRWAYS straight Bangalore-Bangkok.

Thai airport

I packed my bags and the entirely family was there to see me off for my 3 day visit. It was a midnight flight and I was all the more excited. Everyone wished me luck and I set of into the airport to board the flight. After waiting for a while I finally landed aboard the Thai aircraft. I landed a seat next to a fine gentleman who would later be my buddy for 3 days at Thailand. The aircraft took off and I took my time to get comfortable in my new seat. I was thrilled as it was my first time to Thailand and after a 4 hour flight I landed at Thai airport were I was escorted to Holiday Inn, Silom.

Hotel Silom

After checking into my hotel at 3.30 am in the morning I had a bath and slept for 3 hrs. Early morning at 7.00 am I was up and on my way to hunt down an Indian who would guide me to the garment market at Bangkok. My sister’s marriage was scheduled for July and I promised her that I would buy her satin from Bangkok. After some walking around I found a bihari know in Bangkok and luck had it’s way he was into garments. He told me look no further go to indira market and check out for satin. After lunch I slept and in the evening set out for indira market where I was accompanied by my friend. After some searching we landed a shop that sold Satin after some bargaining I managed to secure some satin of superb quality.I had promised everyone something as a foreign return person is known to get gifts for everyone. I bought my brother a watch dad shoes and mum pearls and finally myself some Mars chocolates.The next day I went visiting Safari World on the outskirts of Silom.
