This is our 3rd trip within 9 months. -_- It's a different kind of trip this time as we stay in Langsuan area instead of the usual Pratunam. Man, I'm honestly so bored with Bangkok to the extent the each time I heard of it I feel so annoyed. I also dislike having to waste so much time in between waiting & flying.
Meeting Teddy for the first time is totally out of my plan. She saw my post and text me so we unhesitatingly plan for a quick date since she travelled alone, her time is pretty flexible. We met up at Platinum mall and walk to B Story Cafe next to Ratchathewi station, with the help of Google Maps wtf. It was so hot it hurts, we're sweating and also walking fast, trying to escape from the sun as we didn't wear sunscreen.
The spoons and plates are so lovely! Can I just steal these home?
About 2 hours passed and suddenly my phone rang... It was Casey, who thoughtfully ask if I can get back to hotel for a little gathering to celebrate his promotion back at their penthouse.
It's just difficult to say no when being asked right to your face..

And we actually got thrown a surprise engagement party! They have planned this for months how sweet is that. The whole process has been recorded in video. I looked so puzzled at the beginning of it wtf. They have prepared champagnes and some Thai street foods. I never thought I could have a group of friends who would do this for us. I'm starting to like all the party planning and gathering thing.
I don't usually make up when I travel(especially in the hottest Bangkok) but I was in the mood to do so after a good sleep of 10 hours so how could I possibly not take lots of selfies right? (Thank god it's the same day they threw us the party or else I'll look damn ugly and pale I won't even have pictures to share)
Oh ya I finally made it to Moomin cafe! I'm beyond happy to know they have just opened one in Siam Center last March. Now it's off my checklist for my future HK or JP trip LOL
I was really the happiest girl on that day.

We heard about the sudden drop of temperature in Bangkok few days before we left so we're really anticipated the chill weather. But Bangkok being Bangkok, it's super sunny and hot as usual. We walked and stayed under the sun most of the time and it was super dehydrating. I didn't drink a lot of water so as what might have expected, I came home with even worst sore throat plus a flu and I had to skip work the next day.
For 3 days straight we walked for average of 12 hours per day. My god! Can you imagine how sore my feet was? I really think I've finished up the walking quota for the whole year. I went for massage 3 times max in a day. We bought so many snacks from Big C which was not in our plan, and for the first time we had to get cartons wrapped at the airport to make sure any packs of potato chips are not going to burst.
Street foods, wanton noodles, crepes(Union Mall has the best crepes in the world!), endless of coconut water and cha yen(it means iced milk tea in thai), bowls of mihun soup, taking the scariest tuk-tuk ride, braving the heat at Chatuchak, a nice foot massage we keep coming back to.. let's just sum this trip up with crazy, but it was more to fun part! We had so much laughters! We celebrated SW's birthday in the hotel room when clock strikes zero-zero(*insidejoke), KY's gf bought her a Winnie Pooh cake!
(I think I've also drank more Cokes in 4 days compared to my entire past year fml)
SW and EK left a day earlier so we had a full day to ourselves. We have no plans for that day but to visit this Huskies cafe. They have like 20 Huskies and it feels terrifying when group of them running around you. I couldn't help feeling scared of them. -_- Just look at their sizes and you'll get what I mean.
But still, they're so cute isn't it?!

I finally braved myself to try street foods despite the risk of getting food poisoning. I think I'm just over worried(and too busy shopping I have no time for real foods), but I do have friends getting bad diarrhea after their BKK trip so prevent is better than cure. It's all about walking in & out every 7-11 we've walked past and endless bowls of vermicelli soup from street stalls this time. D:
Thank you for the good weather, Bangkok, we will see you again in exactly one month time.

Finally, the holiday we have been counting down to. Our first sisters trip and many more to come I hope. My itinerary for the first day in Bangkok is to cover Siam area, I just can't wait to explore Siam Square again. I forgot to put weather condition in my consideration throughout my itinerary planning so yeah.. it started to rain cats and dogs the moment we arrive at Siam station and it was still pretty early and we certainly did not intend to shop yet – it's free & easy day and
It was still raining at 7pm. We decided to move to Caturday Cat Cafe located at Coco Walk – can be reached by BTS Ratchathewi. Got my flats and feet soaked in rainwater because we had to run under the rain to look for the place as it's my first time there. But it's definitely worth the run! From the uneasy smell we had to bear(because we aren't pet person) to feeling the awwwww to see so many cute cats!

After hearing so much about this place(and pictures), finally we're here. We did pass by the branch in Siam Center as we explore around but I insisted to make it to the main branch at Thong Lor. Once I got in, I immediately go up the stairs to check out the second floor. It's like entering the world of Alice. I have to say I'm a lil disappointed because I expected the space to be really big. I feel like a gigantic monster crashing in the house of dwarfs and fairies. It was such tiny space with low ceiling up there, as soon as I started to feel suffocated, I decided to get down, get a seat and start looking at the menu for foods.
Everything in the cafe from furnitures and interior decorations, serving teapots and cups etc are all custom made with Mr Jones' Orphanage label. Totally love the vintage teapots and cups that we feel like stealing them home!
