Part 3 Bangkok Trip Internship~ ( The Weird, the Funny and The OMG)
I just realize after writing part 2, I have tons of pictures to clear from the trip and decided to finish up in part 3 .
To begin with, We visited Amari Watergate Bangkok for a familiarization tour. We were welcomed with fruit drinks and freshly baked delicious macaroons and greetings with the charismatic French? Italian general manager. We then begun our tour of the hotel with the spa rooms.Once again pardon my very bad picture quality, we were in a rush. Most of the pictures here are the remaining of our beautiful memories. I can only blog now with pieces of my memories.
Lovely welcome from Amari Watergate~
The beautiful spa rooms
the products used in the spa treatments
Straight after our tour of Amari Watergate, We went back to our most favorite hotel till now GLOW Pratunam to change and pack. After which we slept all the way from BANGKOK to PATTAYA with brief moments of.. waking up looking at the others drooling face and went back to sleep :P
FINALLY REACH PATTAYA OMG!! We had dinner at one of the shopping malls- food courts.
After which, we went in search of the Walking street led by him. On the way We saw lots of interesting things.. erm hmm..like sex toys, guns, shock guns, naughty stuff :P
Pattaya Walking street is not for the faint hearted!! I remember walking in and go like OMG!
the GOGO bars, the solictors saying to us PING PONG, GOOD TIME.
One of them even say to me "WO AI NI" (I love you) then ask if I want to see the shows. ^^
YUP. This should be a gay Bar i think :PP
And.... In the middle of all this neon signs, I spy my name!!
Sandy Elegant 's Fashion ^^ I am so famous laaaaa.....
Russian Cabaret~
In the middle of the street, we saw a scary sight.
JOKER~~or at least looks like him in typical Halloween fashion~~
After the walk through the Pattaya walking street, We head back to Bangkok with same, sleeping, waking up and falling asleep sight.
The next day, we visited Centara Watergate, It is a fairly new hotel even newer than Glow. Packaged under the famous Thai brand Centara group of Hotel.
The breakfast dining area~
The very cool pavilion area~ thus the name Centara Watergate Pavilion.. (joking~)

The pastries looks delicious. Bangkok has lots of Western desserts such as cakes and pastries, unfortunately not really to my taste.:(
This cute carriage is made out of icing sugar~
Library 1918~
After the visit to Dusit Thani, we continue our hotel inspection to Shangri La Bangkok. I remember thinking OMG. Bangkok is super hot, how did the Thais manage to survive in such extreme temperature without air con sia...
One of the wats~
Holiday Inn Bangkok~
Bangkok museum of seashells showcases?
Assumption college Bangkok and a group of students
Finally we reach Shangri La hotel. ^^

The Thai Royal family is respected by the Thais. The Thai king is one of the longest serving monarch in the world! Long Live the Thai King!Bhumibol Adulyadej
This hotel is just beside the waterfront, Chatrium Riverside. Shangri La Hotel...
Royal Orchid Sheraton Bangkok
Thai Traditional music again..Still don't know the name.
Right after the tour of Sheraton, We conclude our hotel inspection and went for a quick shower before meeting up with the sales and general manager of Centara Grand @ Central World.
We had check out from Glow Hotel and will be spending our last night in Bangkok :( in central world.
This time round I was allocated room with Fiona the tuna while Jac will room with Wenhui.
** I don't know what happen but seriously speaking around 90% of the hotel rooms we have inspected are erm hmm not really guy and girl best friend friendly, honestly speaking when we room in Glow, the toilet was separated from the room with a cupboard that can be accessed from the room, so as to speak ur guy pal may be able to accidentally open the cupboard and see u bathing in the shower, seeing that the shower room is transparent.
For Centara grand @central world, the toilet have no lock, there's a window that is able to open up into the toilet and the bathtub,shower room, toilet bowl can be seen if the window is open!!**
Me and Fiona just realize the tv in Centara has porn channels. and erm hmm.. what is scooby doo XXX uh...:P
Okay fast forward after the hotel facilities inspection. we went to dine courtesy of our Host Centara general manager and sales manager. (the sales manager was cute and shy.but married.. He refused wine and alcohol saying he is on work duty )
Ginger- oriental buffet, sushi, teppanaki, oriental food
The world- international buffet
We took sushi and lots of oriental food in the buffet and went to dine in The world. Central World was offering free flow Merlot wine that day, all of us accepted a glass but didn't drink finish (I hate wine:( )
There was a wide spread of pasta, desserts, cheese, seafood to chose from. Me being me flocked to the pasta station. I remember the Thai little chef was being cute and shy when serving my food ^^
I remember him scolding us saying that we should have take the more expensive prawns,seafood to make it more worth =_=
After dinner we opt to follow him to try out Thai massage along the area near to Holiday Inn (** the next time i try to find back the place and got lost **) =_=
We opt for one hour thai and one hour foot massage. He opt for two hours thai massage and we were whisked to a different area from him..
Girls being girls, was excited trying out "AUTHENTIC THAI MASSAGE", we giggled and laughed all the way through as our four Thai GUY masseuses massage our legs.
*** That is when the weird thing happen. I need some comments or something telling me the events that happen below isit normal anot??!!****
We were then given pjs to change into then we went up to this creepy third floor where they partition the sleeping areas and ask us to lay down and serve us some Thai tea.
We were expecting thai ladies masseuses since this is a intimate Thai full body massage. but erm.. in the end the same four guys who massage us came and massage us..
I was in the first partition follow by Wenhui? Fiona and then Jac. she was the furthest away from door while I was the nearest and there was minimum light in my partition area. While hers was completely dark ( It makes sense considering the story and what happen next)
Thai massage is uncomfortable de lol..I was literally wondering why why why I chose that. (I am ticklish)
90% of the time three of us excluding Jac who literally sober by then was giggling like mad. While 3 of us keep giggling and fumbling around.. (itchy laaa) She kept very quiet and only spoke to us when we talk to her.( Something wrong)
It is very uncomfortable to have a male masseur, who will massage very near to "sensitive spots"
The most comfortable part of the massage. The neck massage, by then my MALE masseur put my head on his thighs. =_=
I guess that's the only time all 3 of us shut up and relax...
We paid around 250 baht = $10 for the massage excluding tips.
Its only when we went out of the shop and part ways with him did Jac say her story.
She was lying on the mattress to her right is Fiona, to her left was more darkness as well as a few more partitions for other massage.
She told us that as she was lying down and we was giggling around, she heard a strange sound coming from her left.. Something like a moan or some sexual sounds. That's when she kept quiet, she was sure her young male masseur heard it too....
That night, we had a few drinks together at the hotel sky bar, went back to our room and gossip till early morning.
The next day we as usual overslept and woke up 1 hour later than the time we supposed to woke up. We ate a rush breakfast and went to the nearby BTS Station to take the BTS to the Mo Chit station.
Follow the crowd to the nearby JJ market named by the locals.
It is literally the Mothers of All pasar malam!! We got lost more than a few times, got tired and had to hydrate ourselves more than a couple of times. It was that big..
Choconana- banana covered in chocolate, didn't tried this
Yummy and fresh juice. But expensive as compared to elsewhere in Bangkok
Clothes and more clothes..
We were actually planning to go back to pratunam , Platinum Mall to change shorts size after buying it too small a day before. However we went out of time. It was Either no shower and maybe risk no time to pack and make sure everything is ok or changing shirts size at Platinum mall. We chose the first.
Depart from Bangkok to the Suvarnabhumi Airport for our flight at 7.40pm Bangkok time on Thai Airways~
Checking in. Our luggage was pathetic as compared to others leaving Bangkok to Singapore. (NOT ENOUGH TIME SHOP LAAAA)
Thai Airways had easy identification for my special meal on my boarding pass and ask me for my boarding pass to verify my special meal as compared to Singapore airlines. On Thai, I was served last due to my special meal =_=
On Singapore airlines, I had no special meal identification on my boarding pass but both me and my friends was served way before other passengers was served their food on both flights ^^
Last picture before we depart from Bangkok :((( I love Bangkok kaaa..
Vegetarian Oriental meal~ No onion,garlic and food cooked in chinese style.
Salad suck. Do'nt know what is that.
I found a link between good plane food and not very good food on plane.
On departure journey to Bangkok (food as catered in Singapore) was super yummy.
On both journey back food was catered by the Thais in their catering kitchens. ( I am pretty sure i got the same food twice, On Thai Airways and Singapore Airlines both time departing from Bangkok..)
Salad was bleh...:( why no fruit salad like what Singapore give?
Entree was okay fried rice with soggy vegetables and bitter capsicums.
** P.S. we ate our first dinner at shabushi on the first night, had a wonderful steamboat dinner <3
