  • Sawasdee to Thailand!!!

    I spent four days of January in Thailand with my cousin.. .
     

    Thoughts on this trip:
    • Their language is really different from ours...I learned more Malaysian words than Thai.
    • If I will base it with their foreign exchange rates, the value of Peso is almost the same as the Baht's.  Does that mean that Filipinos are also not that literate in English?
    • Their coconuts are sweeter than ours.  Sarap ng buko juice!!!
    • Uso din dun na pinagbubuhat ng boys ang girls ng bags nila!
    • Sarap magshopping pero mahirap tumawad! :(
    • Bring extension cords when you go there..the hotel room where we stayed only had 1 visible socket for the TV.  What we did is to buy an extension cord at the IT mall (Pantip Plaza) for us to plug all our gadgets and the TV at the same time!!! Wise kami!
    • If you want to get a cheaper fare rate for a Tuktuk, you have to ask the driver to bring you to 2 different jewelry stores.  The drivers will just ask you to pay 20 Baht for fare when you drop in first to these shops then go to your real destinations because they will receive a coupon which is worth 5 gallons of gasoline.  You don't have to buy anything from the jewelry shops but you have to chitchat with the assistants for around 15 mins while having free drinks for the coupon.  O di ba? Win-win situation!!!
    • Siam Discovery, Siam Center and Siam Paragon are the high end shopping malls.
    • Platinum and MBK malls are more pang-masa like 168 mall in Divisoria.
    • For gadgets, go to Pantip Plaza! Eto naman ang Greenhills nila!!!  
    • Bring swimsuits for the Pattaya Beach! Nice nice!!! Super white din like Bora!
