So just before we moved to Stockholm, we applied for a Biometrics Visa in Thailand, since there weren't any machines that can process the card in the Philippines. But you know us, we don't go anywhere without travelling.
We arrived just before noon in Bangkok. So I remember this dilemma on exchanging currency because the converters wouldn't accept cash. We did found one currency converter at the rightmost end of the arrival halls though.
When my auntie went and greeted us, she told us that we booked a wrong hotel in Chiang Mai instead of booking one in Bangkok. She was very much welcome to let us stay in their apartment (with her brother) for the rest of our trip.
Once we got to their apartment, we settled in for about thirty minutes before my auntie and uncle suggested that we go to this mall called Terminal 21 and was divided into plenty of fun sections.
I think we took the SkyTrain for us to go there. A buzz of different cultures welcomed us inside the mall, not just because of the people, but every floor of the mall was in the theme of a different city. We started off at floor three, which was themed to Istanbul. By the way, the "terminals" were the elevators, since they took you off to the different floor, hence different city theme.
One of the most memorable and funniest moments of the trip is where we seated near the fountain at the mall to take a break and my uncle jokingly said that it's a wishing well but it only accepts banknotes. Kind of thin? Well, those are some jokes that I really like... So deal with it.
After we ended our trip to Terminal 21, we went to this park which is about a fifteen minute walk from the mall itself. Couldn't remember the name, though. So after about an hour in the park and spending some energy on the playgrounds, we went to another mall about another ten minute walk away and bought some snacks for the apartment.
The second day consisted of our application for the Biometics I.D card and going to Siam Ocean World and Madame Tussauds Bangkok, which is a wax museum.We also had a snack in this Ice Cream bar called "Swensens". Unfortunately, there were no pictures I can show you since we didn't have the chance to upload it. Once I find it, I will update this post and keep you notified.
So that wraps up our trip to Bangkok in Thailand. I am so sorry if I did not explain this trip in full detail, even though this happened just four-three months ago (July 2013). Cheers!
