Shopping, shopping and more shopping!

By -
Today after our breakfast we decided to take the BTS Skytrain to the MBK Centre (a rather large shopping centre). 

The Skytrain is very busy between our stop Asok (silent k...kills Brayden every time they say it!!!) and National Stadium, where you get off for MBK. 

They still have plenty of decorations for Christmas up. Some very interesting ones...








We walked around the shops for hours and Brayden did plenty of shopping. Every single bag we carried home was for him...even bags inside bags...


We had lunch at the MBK Food Island...basically you put money on a card and you use this to purchase food from one of the many many food shops...so much to choose from so much so it is too tricky to choose. 
When it came to dessert though Jason and Jan seemed to know exactly what they wanted...

Oreo Crepe...

Strawberry Crepe...

We finished with a little more shopping and then headed back to the hotel for a swim and relaxing afternoon...shopping can be tiring!

We headed for dinner a little later tonight and just went to Terminal 21 (which is a high end shopping centre) which our hotel is connected to. We went to a western restaurant called Santa Fe as Jan and Brayden were looking for some western food. The meals were rather average and after ordering we recalled having dinner here last time we were in Bangkok (same same!)

When we got back to the hotel I decided to have a relaxing bath...it was nice to relax a little! Well that was until I got out 😫 I released the plug and all of a sudden the bathroom started to flood...not with bath water though...with sewage (yes it was coming up through the drains in the floor of the bathroom!!!!!) OMG....it stunk. 🤢🤢💩

We called reception who sent someone up immediately- he almost died when he arrived!!!! He spoke to the technicians, who then spoke to Jason and told us that we would need to be moved 🤭

So there we were after 10pm...after I had had a relaxing bath and Jason was almost asleep having to pack our bags and move rooms. All we could hope was that we were moved to a better room (not that ours was bad at all).

So, we have been upgraded to an apartment...
















Brayden is gutted!!!

Now I’m ready for bed!
Goodnight everyone!

Erawan Museum

What an amazing day! After a magnificent breakfast at our hotel it was time to check out! At 10am, Geoff, Chalor, Poi and Arnut picked us up from our hotel. We travelled down Sukhumvit Rd with no idea where we were going! Geoff didn't want us to know...it was a surprise!! Well, as we turned the corner our breath was taken away by the most amazing three headed elephant.  We were heading to the Erawan Museum. The Erawan Museum, according to the founder Lek Viriyaphant's ideal wish, was aimed to serve as a showcase of the spirit of Asia where the essence of Arts and 4 major religions have been preserved in order to make known to Asian people and the world the foundation of the eastern civilisation cultivated and transmitted through the philosophical inspiration. An absolutely amazing place.... We headed to Mega Bang Na for lunch and treated the youngsters to the last western meal for 8 days ( McDonalds - Arnut was in his element!) We then travelled nearly 2 hours to get to Pak Hai

A rainy day in Singapore

We woke to this this morning... Rain and a storm.  Our plans changed a little as we didn’t feel Gardens By the Bay would be worth it in the rain.  Jason started the day with a traditional Asian style breakfast... We then headed off to see the ‘Merlion’ The Merlion is a form of welcome to the visitors to Singapore. A real tourist thing to do is pose with the Merlion with the water entering your mouth...we gave it a shot!! We decided to head to Orchard Road for some window shopping. How many Louis Vuitton or Victoria’s Secret shops can you have in one stretch??? The hands down winner though was the Magnum store...where you could create your own Magnum!!! We didn’t but watched a couple of other aussies create theirs! I found another scrapbooking store. Absolutely gorgeous. The walls and store were lined with gorgeous projects. Lots of great things to buy but I actually walked out with nothing 🤪 So unlike me!!! I also went to the store under our hotel...with nothing purchased there either
