Site and Scenes of JJ Market 2

Orchids is one of Thailand's best export and JJ Market has a few beautiful species on display... as the vendor told me, its not the season yet...



Beautiful flower pots... maybe can bring back and do business in Brunei... heheh

Site and Scene of JJ Market 1

Many items are sold in JJ Market, so one cannot miss going to this Market when one travel to Bangkok, Thailand... its fun, tiring, its hot and its irritating when the locals increase the price once they know you're a tourist....


Old maps of Thailand also sold ....

Wanted to buy this beautiful wall deco, but i think it was quite pricy...

Food are sold side by side to the many clothes, furniture, animals, fishes, etc., sold in the JJ Market

The thought of bringing these back.... i dont think so...

Site and Scene of Bangkok 2


There were many pictures taken during my 2 weeks holiday... so many pictures will be uploaded in this blog.... (helps with a new digital camera :-)


Bangkok's MRT is really cleaner than Kuala Lumpur's (Malaysia)

The colourful taxis lining up the JJ Sunday Market

Wanted to buy this deco when we first saw it, 2 hours later, we couldnt find where this was displayed. (priced at 950baht)

These dogs were soo darn qute.... its miniture dog!

Site and Scene of Bangkok 1

Pineapple Fried Rice.... the classic sprite bottle - only in Thailand... in our region, everyone is using tin cans...
The Thai Kuai Tiaw... look at the quantity... sikit la.. .
The only thing i could eat at the brakefast buffett prepared by the hotel
Rows of Tuk-Tuk on the road... need to bargain on the price before entering the Tuk Tuk. For experience wise, its ok to use it but if you can get a metered taxi, its better to get the taxi as you wouldnt inhale exhause pipes of cars when you stop due to the traffic light... taxis is quite cheap as well... as long as you insist on a meter....
Old buses contribute to Bangkok's air pollution...

Fruit season in Thailand...


My favourite fruit, rambutan is selling at about 60cents and here supermarkets are charging at $4.90.... aiyah what to do...

Lots of bees to feed?


Hello Bangkok....

Arrived in Bangkok, Thailand using Tiger Airways which costs around $150 including taxes from Singapore to Bangkok. Our first time using the flight... the flight was good and the capitain on the plane was very informative...
Exchange Rate in Bangkok for Singapore dollar is S$1 to 22baht. Lower if we used Brunei dollar, at about B$1 to 21baht. Fried kolomee


Refreshing coconut in Bangkok... costs about 20baht (less than B$1)
Beef noodle?... dont remember
Monthong Durian - two slab of these durians costs 100baht, less than $5 our money. If you look at the shops in town, monthong is sold by the kilos at $5.90 per kilo. Makan pun berabis la di Bangkok since its fruit season as well!



Singapore's Budget Terminal

Located next to Singapore's Changi Airport, the budget airline is as big as the airport in Miri, Sarawak... Tiger Airways took most of the counter and the other was Cebu airlines? counter.... I wonder where did ValueAir park their planes?....



Ps. The budget airline terminal is accessible via the free feeder bus from Changi Airport Terminal 2, where RBA lands...






The entrance of the aiport, where Han's restaurant monopolise the F&B business there.... well, for the chicken pie and cabonara pie, well its not a money well spent... its expensive and no taste at all, all flour... stay away from this restaurant.... sorry Han's but its the truth... :P

Food in Singapore II

oh yeah, this is the hotdog that cost as much as the burger... if they dont change their price, i doubt the restaurant gonna be there in a year's time...
forgot where i took this picture, but must be one of the food courts in singapore
This is the Chicken Beryani at Arab Street, Singapore. Not bad...
The beef murtabak in the restaurant at Arab Street.

Food in Singapore


One of the best thing about Singapore is that the number of food available in the city-state wherever you go, you cant go hungry - there are 24hours coffee-shops around the Housing estates adn McDonald do 24hours service!





Top and bottom: Meals served at Fish & Company... quite pricey but once in a while can la...


Top and bottom picture: The new Superdog fast food restaurant at VivoCity. Well, the burger was Ok i guess, but the hot dog was terrible... burger was too small for an expensive price as well as the hot dog... the hot dog cost as much as the burger!

Back from holiday...



Where else but back from Singapore .... (ps. RBA offer cheaper fares to Singapore via its Bruneiair website than Singapore Airlines. It costs over B$500 for Singaporeans to travel to Brunei, but it costs about B$300 for Bruneians to travel to Singapore...)


These were the food served on RBA flight on the day travelled.... it was a smooth flight by our local pilot.
