Siam Paragon

Science museum, Aquarium (Ocean world), Siam Paragon

What a strange idea I had this morning to go to the science museum which is about 20 minutes from home (probably THAT ! ) well it could has been nice but unfortunatly, most of everything was in Thaie language ! and in plus I was the only one in this museum, no one, just the cleaner ! well not have to wait for anything but still ! the good think that was in this museum is there are in the same time a little aquarium and a planetarium ...
And with baby Orson, I went to the Ocean World and that was super ! I loved it ! very attractive, big, colors, music and futurist ! nice atmosphere and huge rooms full of sharks, crabes and whatever that I have never seen before ! it tooks about one n half hours to see everything and in plus we saw sharks feeding ! (http://www.siamoceanworld.co.th/) the aquarium is inside this big shopping center Siam Paragon. It's a really new pretty center, just next to the one I went for spiderman and actually in this area (Siam Square) is full of shopping center, shops, stand food in the middle of the street ! people and there is even a wifi area ! just about 10 minutes walk from home ;) by the way, rain saison has started one week ago, that mean sun is not here anymore even if it is still very very hot and it's raining a lot ! but I pretty like it, even if sun is not here the rain when ur outside is good when it is too hot :)

World Center : Spiderman !

Tuesday night, 1 of may was the first of Spiderman, so we went to this hude mall center, with 2 cinemas on it ! then we had a v.i.p place (so cheap ! not even 5 euros for a v.i.p place with a special room where u can take all the candies,drinks u want for free ! I mean including with the price u paid ... plus still nothing ! and the cinema room and scream where so big and we had a very good place in the balcony ! as a tradition, just before the movie, all people stand up for 1 minutes watching an ad about the king ... well ... why not ! Is like that every Mondays, people are wearing a yellow tee.shirt to honor him ... funny if u don't know that and seeing all this people dressing up the same ! in the end, movie was fine but the way I watched it in this thaie huge cinema was much better !

Floating market

Satursday morning I get up about 6am to go to this market. Actualy is just so far from Bangkok, it takes about 2 hours to get there !
Then you have to take a boat which will bring you in the middle of this strange floating market ! lots of little boats around, boats with people saling fruits, foods, clothes and souvenirs things ... the only problem is that the river is very dirty (but I saw someone swimming on it and drinking the water !!! )During one hour I went all over, saw all this people saling things, tourist taking pictures (of course)
So yes it was a really funny experience but it's very touristic place ! I loved it, even if I felt a little bit sick in that boat .......
How to get there : The easiest way is taking a Chao Phraya River express boat. There are also several canal routes by long-tail boat

Suanlum Night Bazaar

That was a super cool night market ! I went there on friday night, actualy did not really know where to go, I just walked by the lumpini park and found out noise next to it, then when I went there It was a huge place, with a concert and all around lots of little shops, artisanat, clothes, shoes, everythings ! and it took me probably more than 2 hours to go all around ! (even if not everything was open) and I found so many nice stuffs, no many things that I would have loved to buy ! And well I found a crazy, wonderful, georgous dress and I was really close to buy it even if it was so expensive ( well about 30 euros, which was nothing for this dress but still expensive from Thailand ) unfortunatly I tried it and believe or not but with some lips gloss and straight hair I will have looked like a real women ! well lots of stuffs and not enought money (yes yes I am serious ! I need to get this numerique camera in China, for sur won't be expensive but still need to be careful, in plus I have fews days off, I still don't know where to spend them, Cambodga for temples or nice Island like Koh phi phi o Koh phangan for the beaches ??!! will see !) anyway I am going to china in not even 2 weeks and I am sur that they will have a lots to buy over there !
About this market, it's open every days from 3pm to 12pm and it is probably the best I have done so far (even if I always say the same when I have discovered all the past markets !) too many markets in Bangkok, during the night, the morning, the afternoon, in the very center, away in the middle of nowhere or simply just about 5min from home :) that is probably why this IS the best one ! I can go all the time I want ;)
Directions: Lumphini subway station

Week End in Koh Samet

How to get there :From Bangkok by public bus: Many buses leaving from Ikamai(Eastern) bus station to Ban Pae directly. A2-122B 4hrs Some bus companies offer joint tickets(bus + boat).

Koh Samet

<<--- Here it was ! we arrived there about 1pm, had a lunch (spicy as asual) and just relax on the beach ... I had a little bangaloo next to the sea. The Island is quite big unfortunatly too many tourist, it was find but I wish it would have been without people, just the sea the sand and me ?! .... many girls doing Thai massage were there also and I couldn't resist to offer me one, under the trees, with the waves sound and exotic music playing from the bar behind it was just perfect ! so during one hours and for 200b I had a really nice massage ! and in plus in the end I had for the first time of my life : manicure ! interesting ...
I have been bitten by so many insicts ...arf ... it was just so hot there and the only clever thing to do was to stay in the shadow ... even if it doesn't change anything about sunburn, it just softer !
so yes ! I had a perfect relaxing week end and I loved it ...
