checked in hotel (grand millennium) at around 4 plus
we were so lucky to get a SUITE!
didnt get to explore much in the hotel because auntie katijah's friends were coming to fetch us to her villa to celebrate the last day of loy kra thong (lights festival)
her villa was AMAZING. can't imagaine how rich they are.
with all the food stalls, u can get anything u want, buffet style!

they had performances on the stage and lotsa dancing on the dance floor!

btw there were quite alot of mozzies there. had to place a mozzie coil under the table and some boy servant went around offering repellents to the guests.
we went back rather late and i was damn tired after all tt travelling!
DAY 2 in BANGKOK
didnt do much except for attending kwan's (auntie achara's daughter ) wedding at hyatt hotel in the evening.they were really rich ppl cos auntie achara's hubby was the advisor of the ministry of education in thailand! the minister came to give a speech that night i felt so out of place and under-dressed!but NVM! kwan's really PRETTY! but didnt get to take a photo with her with my camera. so i dont have her pics with me ):
her hubby was really SWEET! did some touching stuff in the videos tt they made for the couple.
was quite amazed when we went in the ballroom. they're wedding dinner was buffet style!you can get wad u want. i had pasta straight from the pan and cute lil deserts.

DAY 3 in BANGKOK
auntie benchawan, auntie beekoon and auntie thasanee (the uni lecturers!) brought us on a really long road trip to huahin
took us around 5 hours to reach there!
the beach was nice.
i had a short pony ride which i pretty much felt sorry for the horse cos i think i was too heavy but farah insisted i go so no choice ):
the boy "instructor" was really CUTE! hahah!

he smiled and waved goodbye shyly when we were leaving

this is the only photo i took there and i took it in the van somemore.
DAY 4 in bangkok
went to visit the palace in the morning. was quite amazed by the teakwood mansion which is made without a single NAIL!
it's the place where the kings and princes and princesses once lived.
felt like the show "GOONG" inside. HAHA!
i think it's becos of all the strict rules that the royalty had to abide.
after tt we went for a thai full body massage. my first!
the girl was really nice (:
went to the cafeteria for lunch and their famous coffee cake. it was yummilicious!
went for a swim in the hotel. the water was FREEZING i swear!
At night we met up with auntie achara and the newly-weds at this indian rest. the ambience was SUPERB! the food was GREAT! (:
kwan was sweet to get farah a piggy bank.
DAY 5 in bangkok
went to siam paragon to shop in the morning. was amazed by the sizes of the shopping malls then met up with auntie thasanee for lunch.
FLEW back to singapore in the evening.
my 5 day trip to bangkok was really great. thou i didnt get to shop much becos of all the atas shopping malls we were brought to, i really enjoyed myself and got to see many things that you cant see if u go to bangkok without ppl bringing u around.
