Day 1

Monet and I booked ourselves on a plane out of town recently. That morning, after checking in impossibly early (to me, at least, since I always go to the counter at the last possible min lol), we checked out Terminal 3, the latest big glass building in the city of mega buildings, from the inside.


Look at that ceiling.






Waiting for the airport skytrain to take us city bums couple hundred of meters back to T1.


A full meal for a short 2-hour flight, which turned out pretty decent. The leg room seemed more generous than SQ's too.


A nice touch: they gave us female passengers fresh orchids pins when we touched down in Thailand.


Suvarnabhumi Airport

Coincidentally both Monet and I caught a chill before we boarded the plane. So as the plane descended, we suffered the most blistering pain in our blocked ears. When we reached Suk 11, our rustic, charming family-owned guesthouse, we took a long nap, hoping that it would help clear the cold, and only woke up just before dinner. That evening, we dined at Crepes & Co., "the best creperie in Bangkok" which WH highly recommended.


It might not look like it, but it was one of the finest dessert crepes I've had.

After dinner, we strolled to Cabbages and Condoms just down the street. It was an interesting restaurant with great online food reviews. We were too full to try out any of the dishes so we just made funny faces at the many tattered mannequins cladded in weird costumes made of condoms.

We made a quick trip to Pathumwan but the malls were closing for the day. So we explored the Sukhumvit night market stalls near our guesthouse before turning in for the night as my cold worsened.
