The first temple, Laogong and I visited...The "Wat Trimit" temple...It's not the biggest temple in whole of Thailand, but inside the temple houses the world's largest Buddha made of real, hard solid GOLD!!!! No kidding, man!!! Laogong and I had to purchase tickets of 20baht each before going into the temple to see this solid GOLD Buddha...
This is "Wat Trimit" as a whole in model...The whole temple doesn't look sooo big but it's filled with lotsa tourists...
This is the Famous Solid Gold Buddha, largest in the whole world weighing at a hefty 5 ton plus!!! It sits in a small "wiharn" (this is what Thai people call as a space for the Buddha to sit in) within the temple...
After that, Laogong and I spent another 20baht each, purchased some offerings and prayed around in the temple...This smaller version of the Buddha is covered with pieces of gold paper, Laogong and I pasted our pieces on it as well...It is said to bring good luck or something...
Laogong and I spent around 1 hour or sooo inside "Wat Trimit" and finally left for the second temple...
Laogong and I went outside of "Wat Trimit" trying to get a cab, then a Thai guy approached us...I wasn't the least interested in listening to what that guy has to say cuz the weather's a killer, plus I really just wanted to flag a cab and head down to the seond place fast...Laogong, on the other hand, for I don't know what reason...Stood and listened to the stupid guy patiently...I kept asking Laogong to come join me, flag a cab then go off but he just wouldn't bug...In the end, I stood one side impatiently and listening to the crap that guy has to offer...Laogong asked the guy how we should get to the next temple (Wat Pho) by showing that idiot our map, the idiot said we could go down by a cab or tuk-tuk (motorized-taxi), which would definitely cost us around 200 baht cuz it's quite a distance away from here...

See??? The stupid Thai guy said cab!!! Laogong wouldn't listen and that guy led us to this tuk-tuk...Telling his fellow-mate where we wanna get to, in their language and told us to get on...I was like...WTF!!! Anyway, since the stupid Thai guy said it's gonna cost 200baht, Laogong just followed-suit and also because he hadn't sat in a tuk-tuk before...Laogong totally agreed with the stupid Thai guy's recommendation to go to "Wat Pho" in a bloodly TUK-TUK!!! I relunctantly agreed and off we went...

I was darn pissed off by this tuk-tuk driver!! Not even half-way through the journey, the idiotic driver has stopped more than twice!!! Asking us, if we've been to the what blah, blah, gems , blah...Whether we wanna go to this blah, blah place that blah....I'm sooo freaking pissed off!!!! I kept complaining to Laogong, blaming him for taking this bloody hell tuk-tuk...The driver's english is POOR and he still wants to try communicate with us, telling us go this place, go that place and asking us a whole bunch of questions...I couldn't stand this idiotic driver's behavior and he too pretty much guessed it by himself in the end, and finally shut up his bloody mouth...

It was only until we're getting near to "Wat Pho", and the driver talks again...This time round, not blabbering nonsense but telling us about the Thailand Royal Palace as we passed by and then keeps his mouth shut again...I'm only pleased that the driver would just do me a favour and shut up, while I enjoy the strong-blowing wind against my cheeks...

We managed to reach "Wat Pho" after that, Laogong and I got off the bloody tuk-tuk...Laogong took out 200baht and paid the driver but the idiotic driver said it's 400baht!!!! F*ck him!! We're "slaughtered" (in cash) in the broad-daylight by this actually-not-idiotic-driver!!!!! Whatever, both Laogong and I had no choice but to "surrender" then went inside "Wat Pho"...Guess what?? The actually-not-idiotic-driver dropped us down by the wrong entrance!! I bloody-hate this driver!!!

Anyway, Laogong and I were smart enough to find the correct entrance into "Wat Pho" and look at the mighty-looking door guards of the temples...Cool huh?? All you see in SG temples, are lions but in Thailand, are these cool ones!!

I should have taken a photo or two with these door-guards...Laogong took all of these photos of them cuz he too thought, they looked cool...
Another door-guard, guarding "Wat Pho"...This temple is for those people who wants to pray and seek for the peacefulness in their lives...Laogong and I also had to purchase tickets, this time round at 50baht each, before going inside to see the infamous reclining-Buddha...
Ta-Da!! The head of the reclining-Buddha!!! It's really v.big!!! It's sleeping on sideways in the whole temple!! Lotsa tourists especially, Caucasians are in to take a look at it...
Look at the feet!! HUGE...It's called the mother of pearl and we're not allowed to touch it!! Laogong struggled quite a lil' before managing to catch a full picture of it's feet...
It's my honor, to take a picture with the infamous reclining-Buddha!!! You had no idea how long we've waited just to get this nice shot...
Laogong with reclining-Buddha!!!
Below is a picture of the full reclining-Buddha!! Humongous!!! I think this is also the biggest reclining-Buddha in the whole world!! I couldn't remember much...
We donated alms to "Wat Pho" and can each take a small bowl of 1 baht, to put into the pots you see in the pictures below...We also took quite some time to take these two shots, cuz there were lotsa people waiting to put in the coins as well...
Laogong walked behind me, together we finished putting in all the coins...To pray for a peaceful life...
Laogong and I with one of the Buddha statue inside "Wat Pho"...A kind Thai guy took this photo for us...*Hehes, Sawadee Kar!!
Look at this big "Gong" below!!! Laogong and I saw a kid trying to knock the "Gong" and sooo I followed-suit...The handle-thing that I picked up to knock on the "Gong" was heavy!!! I forget how they call this thing, sooo I called it "Gong"...*bleahs...
Laogong and I walked around "Wat Pho" and found this "Goddess of Mercy"...Seems to me, that Thai people do respect their gods very much cuz the statues are all in gold!! I admire their spirit of devoutness...
The next stop!!! "Wat Arun" Laogong and I approached the security-guard in "Wat Pho" and asked him for directions...The security-guard was very kind and even led us all the way to the habour whereby, we hafta take a boat to get to "Wat Arun"...Laogong bought a bottle of water before going to take the boat, the weather's really a pain in the neck...I swear I've not drank sooo much water in my entire life...

Laogong and I purchased our tickets to take the boat and you know what?? It's only a mere 3bahts per person!! Change it back into SG dollars and it's only 0.16 cents!!! The journey's a short 5mins and we took pictures of ourselves whilst on board the boat...

Laogong posed with a twist!! =))
ME!! I like the breeze!! Sooo cooling!!
Us!!! Oops!! The boat-driver's behind us...Smile! (>,<) I took this picture of "Wat Arun" and I think this looks like those Tibetan temples...A magnificent view!!
Can you see my face clearly?? *Giggles, guess not huh...See? I told you "Wat Arun" looks like a Tibetan temple already...The designs and the stairs, looked akin...I had a hard time climbing up the long flight of stairs, Laogong was worried that I might fall and sooo he held my arm tightly...*Pouts...
"Wat Arun" has a decade's old history on its name and it actually used to house monks but now it no longer houses monks and is listed as a tourists spot too...Laogong and I walked around the whole of "Wat Arun" under the scorching sun and then went off...
Laogong and I went to the souvenirs market area outside "Wat Arun" and window-shopped...Laogong managed to buy one of the wiring-tubes handmade motorcycle, it was me who spotted it first!!! =)) Laogong was sooo elated when he saw it and immediately bargained the price with the seller...Laogong bought the motorcycle at around 500 baht, if I'm not wrong at the end of the bargaining...
Laogong and I proceeded to the harbour and took the next boat back, he bought more drinks but this time round, not water...Laogong liked the glass-bottled fizzy drinks and bought 2 bottles of different flavours...

Our next stop, was "MBK" (Mah Boon Krong)...Laogong and I hailed for a cab after walking out of the harbour and I felt asleep along the way...It was a long journey plus the air-condition, made me felt comfortable to do sooo...Poor Laogong, also sleepy but didn't dare nap cuz he's afraid that the driver might do scary stuffs...I was woken up by Laogong when we've finally reached our destination...

Laogong and I went inside "MBK" and shopped inside "Tokyu" (Thailand's departmental store)...I went to the ladies' undergarment section and saw a set of really sweet matching bra and panties...I bought the set right away, without second thoughts!! Laogong on the other hand bought a pair of swimming trunks cuz he wanted to go to the swimming pool at our hotel...
We also went to the cosmetics side but the prices are much higher then those in SG, sooo I didn't get anything...It's just not worthy...
Anyway, Laogong and I got outta "Tokyu" and went shopping around "MBK"...Laogong saw a ice-cream palour somewhere in "MBK" and bought one of the ice-creams...It was served upside-down to Laogong and he thought it was interesting...Had me took a picture with the ice-cream...*lols...I know in SG, we do have this as well but couldn't recall which place sells it...

We spent a good 2hours or sooo in "MBK", we managed to find spectacles stores selling contact lens and bought a pair each, Laogong's contact lens cracked in the side sooo he had no choice but to buy them...The contact lens in Thailand is cheap and pretty!! I would definitely buy more of them if I go there again...
I bought a hoot for my brother from one of the shops and Laogong bought a pair of sunglasses from the everything 199 baht area...Laogong also bought a "Bilabong" tee and surf shorts, while I bought no clothes...=((
Actually, I saw this really awesome-looking pair of "Miss Sixty" jeans...Too expensive and the seller wouldn't cut down on the pricing sooo we left in disappointment...Still my regret, not buying...Laogong and I went to a tibits store and bought 2 big-bags full of Thailand tibits, most were meant for Laogong's colleagues and a few for Laogong's family and then we left hunting for food..
We went to the foodcourt in "MBK had our dinner there and it's also very high-class...I took a short clip of the foodcourt and it'll be uploaded at the end of the whole Thailand trip post...=))

It was around 8plus in the evening when Laogong and I finished our dinner, we decided to head back to the hotel and put down all of our stuffs before going to another place "Pat Phom"...It was then, when we happened to pass by a manicure palour filled with customers...I just had to get mine done too and immediately inquired on the price and time needed to finish up...Laogong was lil' fed up when I decided to waste an hour's time to do my manicure and pedicure but still waited for me patiently...
The prices go by which design the customers choose and whether they wanna add on crystals...I chose my designs from the wide range and quickly had the manicurist do it for me...One of them does my feet and another did my fingernails...In exactly an hour's time, they finished up and I totally loved it!! Pictures are posted below...The manicurists' skills are superb!! All including crystals add-on was done in a jiffy, Laogong said if we're bosses, we could hire them over...*Giggles...
Laogong and I cabbed back to the hotel and rest for a lil' while before heading out again...By then, we've already bought a couple of stuffs but still I hadn't managed to get any clothes for myself...Sooo Laogong and I decided to check out "Pat Phom" for my clothes...
"Pat Phom" is one of the night-markets which you can find in Bangkok, it only operates at night and plus it's where you can find fake LVs, and hot, hot, hot chicks!!! (for guys)...

Just take a look at this photo below, massage cum spa cum coffeeshop cum karaoke and blah...One stop, gives the man all he needs...Tons of pretty and sexy babes standing outside, a tat better than Geylang in SG...It was a total eye-opener for Laogong and me...I managed to buy a lovely top and a pair of shorts, for my third day in Bangkok...Pictures are posted below at end of post...
It's kinda amazing, night market in the middle and pubs plus discos by the side...Lotsa Thai guys approached Laogong and me, asking if we want to watch Tiger, Pussy, Lesbian...Whatever show they called it...Laogong and I politely declined cuz we're scared of being duped for our $$$...Laogong and I saw tons of long-legged babes either standing or dancing in only their undies and bikinis outside the pubs and also inside the discos...It's very opened and you could even see those girls dancing against the poles inside...HOT!!

Laogong saw this cool traffic police bike parking by the roadside of "Pat Phom" and just had to take a photo of it...
One of the racing cars akin taxi...=)) I like their cool-looking cabs!! Speedsters...
Finally, another posting done...Whew! Below are the stuffs I bought on the second day!! Hoot for my brother, my lovely brassiere set and the set of clothes to be worn for my third day in Bangkok...
LOOK!!! MY prettily done-nails...Very cheap!! I spent only SG $20 plus $30 for all the crystals and nail arts...Superb painting skills looked just like those sticker ones on sale...
This is the end of my 2nd day spent in Bangkok, please wait patiently for the next few postings!! I know I've been seriously lagging behind in my posts but will try my best to do more...=)) Thanks sooo much for the supports!!!
