BKK escapade

It has been 4 exhaustive days of walking and shopping in BKK. We lived 3 days of local life, 1 day of tourist life, and took plenty of pictures.

BKK is a diner's and shopper's haven. There's a huge variety of cheap food (palatable most of the time) & clothings (excluding the high-brow brands), economical clubbing & dining, dirt-cheap massage (according to Zee massage queen, Kimono) and low skytrain/taxi fare. We did not plan a detailed itinery ahead of time, but once we were there, we went by gut feel and things fell into place.

Thai girls in BKK are simply beautiful. Walk several steps and you can see a Maggie Q, walk a street and you will find more than one Sarah Shahi. Ok, I'm exaggerating here. But seriously, you can find more pretty and happy people in BKK than you can in the streets of HK, Taiwan, and Sg. Their service is good, their voices ring in your ears, and they are soothing to the eyes.

I was so mesmerised, I thought it would be nice to inject some of the Thai girls genes into our local scene :D (other than the time the gay boy stripped in front of me while I was browsing at Siam Sq :-s).

Alas, good things hardly do turn out perfect. I developed some kinda mild rash on the second day (not sure if it was due to the drinking water, bathing water, massage oil, or simply just the air). Kimono teased that I will never be able to bring back the Thai girls genes.

With that kinda allergy, I will most likely scratch myself to death before I can stay long enough to bring them back :(
