Mike and me decided to stay in Asia Hotel this time. Normally I stay at a semi-run down motel in Ari called My House(Baht600-RM60). He said its convenient and more cozy. Judging from the hotel rate(Baht1800++), I can see why. Still think it wasnt value for money tho coz we dont spend much time in it anyway.. despite the 4 star status. It is attached to the BTS Skytrain which was really convenient.. as this time it was more of a shopping trip. We wanted to go Chatucak Weekend market, Lumphini night market (which didn't happen) and simply shop shop in Siam.

ASIA HOTEL which was attached to the Ratchathewi BTS


It was also about 2 blocks to the MBK shopping mall.. yea,... travelling by BTS surely beats the busy streets.
Note that the pink and purple altis are taxis.


We did most of our travelling by BTS


Yea.. I'm pretty much a pro.. tho I did sometimes forget the names of place
which we need to go.. he he... solly solly.... I did ask for directions but I think
 they misunderstood what I was trying to say..


I said we wanted to go to Silom,... so they asked me to go to Chit Lom... which was different...
Actually wanted to go to Sala Daeng for the street stalls..
It was quite however, I think Siam Paragon had drawn the crowd there instead.
