Bangkok (not so) Dangerous

here are some pictures from our trip to the capital city of Thailand.
Although it is supposed to be a 4 days/3 nights trip, we actually only had 2 full days in Bangkok.

On friday, we shopped about the MBK Centre and central shopping area.

on saturday, we spent the day at the expansive Chatchuchat Weekend Market.

P1140437 lobsters
alaskan crabs P1140419
P1140564 jellies
and of course... fish P1140538

all in all it was an ok trip. but the weather played a major part. it was either raining, or it was too hot on the days we were there. the hotel was fine and the staff friendly and helpful. the delay in our return flight was a bummer. and it seems their route is longer than other airlines. normally a singapore-bangkok trip lasts about an hour and a half, ours was nearly 3 hours!
we did not shop as much as we had expected considering the many good bargains. the main chunk of our expenses went towards food.
