Mr & Missy in Thailand Day 3

Instead of rushing to Hua Hin vineyard on our second day, we decided to relax at the beach.  After all, we had recently been to 2 vineyards in Myanmar. Also what is the point of having to keep rushing from one place to another? Such trip would just tire us out instead of re-energizing us so we packed our towels, sun block, shades & headed out to the beach at around 830am. It was about 15-20 min walk from our hotel and we found such a serene beach, so different from the likes of busy areas like Phuket & Pattaya! 

Does this look familiar? It was from Nickhun & Victoria's We Got Married filming! Haha pardon the inner Hallyu fan girl in me ((:

Mr & Missy in Thailand Day 2

We were up quite early (6+am) to ensure we catch the 8am mini bus to Hua Hin. After checking-out and a quick breakfast, we tried to walk to the Phaya Thai BTS station with the help of Google Map. "Tried" was the keyword because we couldn't find our way. Instead, we reached the tracks and saw the station but we couldn't walk along the tracks to reach the station!  

We tried to take tuk tuk but the driver was trying to overcharge us - he asked for a freaking 200 Bahts to the Victory Monument Station. Mind you, it was just 2 or 3 stations away. As for the cab, the driver told us that mini buses no longer depart from the terminal near Victory Monument and he wanted to send us to the bus terminal on the outskirts of Bangkok! We refused it of course. The big buses took longer to go to Hua Hin & they do not stop in downtown Hua Hin. Plus, we would be wasting a lot of money and time taking cab from downtown Bangkok all the way to the Southern Bus Terminal. 

We instead went back to the hotel and asked for directions to the nearest BTS station, which turned out to be Ratchathewi. It was about 15 min walk away, and we then took train for 2 stops to Victory Monument to try our luck and check out the mini buses for ourselves. And as soon as we walked down the stairs from exit 4, we found our bus terminal. The cab driver lied to us !!!

These are the mini buses which will bring you to different parts of Thailand at very affordable rates!

Mr & Missy in Thailand Day 1

Scoot departed at 17:45 & landed in BKK at 19:05.  To avoid the well-known Bangkok Jam, we took train to city area. The train ride from airport to Pyra Thai took 40-45 min. 

Mr & Missy in Thailand

Hello everyone!

First of all, I'm so sorry for being MIA for the past 8 months! Life was hectic with some major changes happening to me.  My parents needed help and I wanted a change so the move to Yangon happened! I was having the so-called quarter life crisis and I needed to figure out what I want in life.  Plus, there was a big fuss about Myanmar being the last frontier and so forth. So why not see it for myself? 

With the slow internet speed back home & me settling into a new environment & constant travelling between me and Mister to maintain our long distance relationship , my blogging was put on hold for a while. 

Finally, I get to share about my Thailand trip which happened exactly a year ago! Such a long overdue post :D Better late than never yeah?

Can you believe Mister has never ever been to Thailand? Plus, we both love Thai food and I love love shopping there. So when Scoot has a promo to Bangkok, we snapped our tickets. 160 SGD for each return ticket with 15kg check-in luggage for Bangkok-Singapore. Quite a decent deal yeah? But a lot of people were surprised as it was at the height of protests and shootings in BKK's crowded areas. Mister's mom was trying to persuade us to cancel or postpone our trip till 10 days before our departure (6 March 2014). Fortunately for us, anti-government protestors decided to scale back their protests & vacate their rally sites just 3 days before our trip! Major PHEW! A sense of normality had returned and we were able to enjoy our trip to the max (:

Yes! Social Media is important in documenting all our exploits & trips & memories!

We both agreed that Scoot was the best budget flight we have ever tried. The planes were huge, there was decent leg room, the flight attendants were polite, there wasn't any delay and overall, it was a smooth flight ^-^
