Thailand at 18! ♥


The title refers to ME! :D

I'll be going to Thailand to celebrate my 18th birthday, and I can't wait! July seems so far away but it's only less than 2 months before the big trip! :) It was only supposed to be my dad, best friend Cid, and myself, but now my mom and little sister are coming too. I don't actually want my little sister to come, she's a bother and a nuisance, seriously! It's my birthday so I should pick who should come, but it's my dad who's paying so there. Sh!t. Oh well. I'm planning to explore with Cid on our own around the city, haha. Or at least shopping ;)

I've been looking at some travel sites and based on that, I'd love to visit Wat Phra Keo, the complex within the Grand Palace (pictured above) is located! I'm interested to see the Emerald Buddha! Speaking of Buddha, I'd love to go to Wat Traimit and see the 3-meter tall Golden Buddha, made of 5 -and a half tons of gold! If I'm lucky I could even put some gold leaf on the statue! :D

I'd like to visit Chulalongkorn University (Pailin goes here :p) and perhaps look around and see what it's like.

I'd also want to visit Assumption University, because that's where CHANON studies! :D So much for motivation, eh? ;)

And of course why would I miss out on Siam Square! Parts of my favorite Thai movie, Love of Siam was filmed there, and I'd love to have pictures there and pretend that delusional Pitch and delusional Non were waiting for me there! :D

To shop for clothes (wheeeeeeeee~) I'd probably go to the Platinum Fashion Mall. I heard it's Divisoria prices in an airconditioned shopping mall, OHMYGAWD! :D And you get things for cheaper when you buy them in quantity, like 3 pieces of more! OHMYGAAAAAAAWD are you drooling yet? =P~~

I don't really know what else to expect, but I'm excited for the unexpecteed (hopefully good things :D)! :)


Someday the three of us will go there together! :)

'Til whenever.

Goodness! Makes me miss Bangkok!

Wat Phra Keo....it's pretty hard to get there, actually. You really have to schedule for that waaaaaay beforehand because it's in the Royal Palace (and the Thai Royal Family loves their privacy). You don't just get in just like that.

Wat Traimit is way easier. I've been there. That Buddha is indeed tall! And as for the gold, it keeps adding on due to devotees offering gold to the statue.

Chulalongkorn! Haha! Why not! It's sprawling! Plus, if you get bored it's near MBK and Siam anyway! Haha!

Unfortunately, Assumption is in Chiang Mai! So no, you can't just barge in from BKK. If you want, you can visit Thammassat! Haha!

Siam Square...no need to expound! Haha!

OMG!!! Platinum rocks my socks! Most of my BKK clothes came from there! Amazingly cheap! One tip though: if you plan to grab some Thai food in the food court, don't sit near the middle stalls. That's where the stinky weird pork parts are!

We will go there together soon, indeed!

So excited for you! Chan rak ter, chee puak!

I seriously can't wait Suchin!! We should try the weird food that they sell along the streets. It's a must to do as a tourist!!
