After checking into the hotel and settling our luggages, we headed out for to checkout our fav shopping spots if they were in operation. That area was affected by the bombing.
We were happy that Central World had just resumed biz, but slightly disappointed Zen was still under renovation...

Chandelier made of empty glass bottles. Table and chairs made of wooden crates.
Cargo containers were used as part of the setup.

We took up a half day Bkk city tour as I wanted to explore or Bkk instead of shopping all the time.
I can't remember what temple was this but we had to take a boat ride to cross the river to get to the temple.


Photobucket
My 1st time seeing someone selling things on the boat.
On the way to the temple, we were told the fishes in the river were guardian of the temple so no fishing allowed. But we can feed the fished. So we bought some bread from I can't remember where or from who, and fed the fishes. There were so many of them!!

Whenever we go Bkk, MK steamboat is a must to eat!!
There's only one soup base and it should be vegetable soup according to the pictures on the paper mat which they laid under their cutlery setup. My fren love their thai chilli and their roasted duck is a must try.
While eating half way, I think the music was their que, all the staff started to dance a signature dance.
Though it was just a short moment, all the diners, including us were entertained by their move.
