An online safe haven.

If you have not read part 1 or 2, click here and here respectively!

So let's move on to..

DAY 5 . . .

So we started our second day in Pattaya feeling fresh and ready to explore! Well, first off, breakfast first right. We did buy breakfast for the first day at the resort hotel so all of us decided to go to Central and find food.

To get there, we had to ride the taxi.. and no, not the normal taxi, it's the tuk tuk taxi, much cheaper and fun since it's like open space (?)..

wonder what my dad is laughing at.. and my cousin certainly do not look too impress lmao

a selfie for instagram! 

Along the way we passed by the beach, superb scenery!



Okay lah, I know it's nothing impressive but still heh.


Here's Central mall! Whenever we come to Pattaya, we will always go to Central mall to find food and buy stuff like groceries lmao.

I love how blue the sky is, so beautiful!
Because we were so hungry and the mall wasn't open when we got there, so we ate a little Mac Breakfast cause we can't tahan lol.

Once the mall opened, we went to the food court and find food! I tried their wanton mee since I was craving for it, no pics cause I devoured the food fast hehe.

There's only this much you could do at Central, shopping or eat that's all tbh.

The guys decided to get a facial there lmao since it was cheap
My bro and my cousin getting started HAHAH

After shopping for a little while, we all went up to Hilton Hotel to relax and drank some cocktails

View from Hilton Hotel 
A lot of people were taking OOTD or Instagram worthy pictures I kid ya not, girls with high heels were treating the place like some modelling studio LMAO. Poor boyfriends had to take pictures for their girlfriends again and again AHAHAH

We head back to the hotel to put our barang barang back before heading out to MASSAGE!!!! OMG. Super excited cause my purpose for Pattaya was the MASSAGE!!!!

No pictures cause it's a little weird to be taking pics when your having a massage lmao. But we cousins did the feet+back+shoulder+head package. Massage was shiok as always and it isn't the first time that I experience the authentic thai massage here but it was still a little new to me since it was my first time trying out this package.

Nevertheless, super shiok and darn, one day of massage isn't enough man sigh. Anyway, after massage, we head back to Central for food again!!

Central at night

By evening, the outside of Central becomes a mini night market, selling clothes, shoes and other cute and unique stuff all for cheap cheap price!!


As we were walking back, we spotted this shop selling soap bars in all kinds of shapes and sizes. But they smell damn nice! Like if it's in a shape of a corn, it smells like corn! There were watermelon, pineapple and other different fruits! So cool!!

Here are the snaps from day 5!



We then headed back to the hotel for an early rest since the fun begins the next day..!

DAY 6 . . .

RISE AND SHINE, IT'S BOATING TIME!

Ohhh yes, you heard me right, BOATING! We woke up super early, around 7AM plus to head down for breakfast (in the end we bought breakfast lol) and then get ready to head out to the sea!

finding our boat 

So we rented a boat for the entire morning till afternoon to head out into the sea,


my mom with her big umbrella, oh gosh =.=

There were two decks on the boat, I stayed on the upper deck most of the time to lepak and take pictures heh. And um, if you thought that our boat is like those super classy yacht, then you're wrong.

I forgot to take pictures of the boat but er, it's quite a big and old boat so nothing fancy.

me when we headed out to the sea!
As you can tell from the pic, it was super windy. LIKE NO JOKE, SUPER WINDY AND COLD!!

I mean, can you believe it, COLD?! Like legit though, it was freezing cold plus the wind makes it even worst.

here's my bro looking grumpy as always lmao



But the view from amazing. Perfect scenery for instagram worthy pictures heh.

We stayed at a spot so that we could fish. Well, not me lah, since I don't but like my uncles and my cousins fished. They caught a few small fishes which was given to this auntie on board to cook meals for us.

Then the boat moved to another area where my cousins went swimming! Not me again, lmao cause I don't swim.

It was great experience since the weather was really perfect, quite chilly but not hot at all! One bad thing is that there were a lot of high tides and waves which made the boat very rocky and scary. Gosh, makes me feel like I was in titanic LMAO except a smaller version lol.

Oh and there's still connection to the digital world even when we were out at sea so I managed to post and snapchat a little! But I spend most of the time taking pics of the scenery and just lazying around enjoying the seabreeze.

By the time we head back to the hotel to freshen up it was already in the late afternoon. I stayed in the room to rest and watch tv while my parents head out to get stuff. I took a short nap and by the time I woke up, I was already hungryzz.

We head out for dinner with my dad's thai friend/working friend and she introduced us to this place for another round of authentic thai food! Yum yums! Not too far from where we stayed, it was like a 20 minute drive.

No pictures again so sorry cause I always devour the food first before thinking of taking a picture lmao.

It was our last night in Pattaya/Thailand, so I didn't want to concentrate on taking pictures, I just wanted to walk around without having to hold the phone for once heh.

SNAPS FROM DAY 6..




After dinner, we decided to walk back to the hotel. It was a fairly long walk but since we were so full from food, it was a nice exercise heh. Went back to the hotel, pack and then sleep cause..

this brings us to our final day of this trip.. GOING HOME!

credits to my bro's iPhone 7 Plus

I was feeling sad cause it was back to reality sigh.. Here's me waiting for our van to the airport.. And yep, there were 2 vans and the second one was an hour late again sigh. But nevertheless, we manage to make it in time thank God.

one last selfie before saying goodbye


Bye bye Thailand! It was a very nice and relaxing trip but I guess it's time to head home and back to reality..

We landed in SG around 8 to 9PM, even though it was a 2 hr flight, it was tiring for me thought idk why. I use to love taking airplanes and travelling, I still do, but taking airplanes feel really tiring nowadays sigh. I don't know how these globetrotter does it man.

Anyway.. thank you for reading my #britsayssawadee series and I highly do recommend a trip to Thailand if you have never been there before!

See yall in my next post.. which would prolly be a makeup review soon! Hehe~

God Bless <3

If you have not read PART 1, click here!!

Let's continue shall we? Hehe.

DAY 3 . . .

The third day was full of shopping thats all. Nothing much really. Now, when you hear the words "shopping", "fashion" and "Bangkok", what comes into your mind?

For most people, especially girls, the name "PLATINUM FASHION MALL" will come to their mind!

I would say that Platinum is the ultimate shopping heaven for people who need new clothes. Located in the streets of Pratunam, Platinum was just about 10 mins away from Pathumwan if no traffic.


another mini pasar malam outside the mall
I didn't take pictures when I was inside cause I was busy shopping lol. It has about 6 floors if I am not wrong.. The first few floors are filled with women's clothings. Only 1 floor was given to men's HAHAHA. I mean that is probably why majority of the people who goes to Platinum are ladies. 

I managed to find a few pieces of clothing for Chinese New Year and school! Got several cute souvenirs for people as well. 

day 3 dinner

After intense shopping at Platinum, we headed back to the hotel and relaxed at tghe VIP lounge for a little while before heading to MBK for dinner!

Went to Mt. Fuji (restaurant duh) for japanese food since jap food in SG is like so ex. I had the set meal alongside other dishes. I didn't had the chance to have lunch at Platinum because all we wanted was to hurry up and buy what we needed to buy so gotta admit, a little while I was feeling a bit moody cause I was hangry. LMAO.

I mean if you were shopping the entire day and feeling tired and hungry, you'll naturally feel hangry right??

After dinner, me and my cousins went to the arcade at the top level of MBK and played a few games for a while lol while the adults went to do their own stuff. We played several arcade games that I had never played before (cause arcades in SG are not that cheap ya know)

So after that we went to get Starbucks (I got green tea latte!!) before heading back up to the room cause we were leaving for Pattaya the next day, so must get an early rest!!

DAY 4 . . . 

RISE AND SHINE GUYS! HEHE. Fourth day of Thailand trip is where we will be heading to Pattaya! YAY!

Okay, remember when I said in part 1 that it is a bad idea to go to BKK first and then to Pattaya?

Well, it's because.. THERE IS JUST SO MANY THINGS TO PACK OMG.

So let me tell ya how the morning of day 4 went..

After having breakfast, me, my mom, my aunt and cousin decide to go back to Platinum again for a quick shop because my cousin fell sick the day before. He had vomited and was really sick (we had to ask the hotel to call a doctor for him who then gave him a jab so he rested during the third day).

By the next day, he was feeling much better so we brought him to Platinum since he wanted to buy some clothes as well. So while shopping for about 2 hours, we had to quickly rush back because we needed to clear and pack our stuff as our room is suppose to be cleared by 12 noon as there is another guest coming.

The thing is, we forgot to inform the front desk the night before that we would like to extend our check out timing, so as a result, the front desk assumed that we are all checking out at 12 noon. (Our ride to Pattaya will only arrive at 3pm)

So after a whole lot of discussion and what not, we decided to shift every of our stuff to one room only. (Since there's three families, so there's three rooms)

It was very rush for us since we have not pack everything finish, so when we got back to the hotel, there was just a lot of stuff to be packed. And ya know, since all we can do in BKK is to buy stuff, there is just A LOT OF STUFF that we need to pack and bring WITH US to Pattaya!

Therefore, just a tip, always leave BKK the last place for your holiday, so if you want to travel to Pattaya or Phuket and BKK, travel to BKK last.

Anyway, end of story, let's continue shall we?

Our ride came at 3PM, since we have three families, there were 2 rides (mini vans).



My apologies for the bad quality pics, I don't know what happened lol.

The van is quite spacious, me and my bro sat behind. Ya know those van that celebrities use to travel? Yeah, something similar except there isn't any tinted windows..

The view on the way to Pattaya

So the second van (that I took) came like an hour late sigh, so we actually started travelling around 4 to 4:30PM.

It takes about 2 hours or less if possible, to get to Pattaya from Bangkok. Well, I'm assuming it must be about 2 hours since when we left it was still sunny, but when we reached Pattaya, it was already dark.

We reached the hotel/resort at about 7PM!

It was our first time staying at this hotel.. Mercure Pattaya Ocean Resort.

We decided to try out this hotel cause apparently it was cheap, much cheaper than the hotels we stayed before..

the lobby


children pool area


Isn't too bad huh? Yeah it wasn't that bad.. until we went up to the room.

Okay, so I have no pictures of the room because to be honest, it was kinda what I expected ya know. Cause I mean for a cheap price, getting a room like this is expected.

So.. rmb how awesome and spacious the room was in Bangkok? Super huge and nice? Well.. the room here is the opposite.

Super small and tiny.. Yes, cozy but.. still there are better hotels in my opinion. But what can I expect for a cheaper price? Can't complain much.

This hotel is good for families with children since there are a lot of kid friendly facilities.. But erm, we are not kids, so this hotel doesn't really impress us.

However, one thing good about this hotel is that the service staff are really nice. They remember you very well and would be glad to take care of you during your stay.

So I guess that's one thing good about this hotel. I just didn't really like how small the room was that's all. (I mean, my family are all big size people, it can get really uncomfortable sometimes ya know)

Anyway, after dumping our stuff in our room, we headed out to find food and eat.

fake chinatown..???
We find a "fake chinatown" just a few walks from the hotel. It was like a tze char place., and filled with lots of chinese people. But we didn't eat there though.. cause the stall owners were smart lol, they didn't bother putting prices on their stall signs, just pictures of the food itself.. lmao.

We headed to the opposite and found better stalls to eat from! Another round of authentic thai food!!





There were not much people so we were able to get a seat. I had Pad Thai again! No pictures cause I was so hungry that I forgot to take hehe.

I know some people don't really like to eat from street stalls like this cause of hygiene reasons, I was once like that too since I have a weak tummy. But heck, I mean, coming to Thailand expected one right, that street stalls are a lot common around then shopping centres food.

So I just properly say grace and then eat. I mean at least there's food to satisfy my hunger ya know.

After eating, we decided to walk further down the street and came across this mall.

Central Marina
It was a mall that we didn't knew existed lol cause we were always walking towards the other side of Pattaya.



Since it was the festive season, there were lots of decorations around! The theme of this mall is marine-ish (is it cause the mall is called central marina..??? lol).


It was quite late already so most of the stalls were closed.

Pasar malam!!
That concludes our fourth day in Thailand and first day in Pattaya!

I shall see ya in my next post and the last post of #britsayssawadee!

God Bless! <3

Hey guys! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Cannot believe how it's 2017 already.. sigh. Every day is passing so quickly.. just like how my trip to Thailand passed by so fast! Anyway, yes, I went to Bangkok/Pattaya on the 24th of December! Just before Christmas, in fact, I am typing this out now on the 30th of December as I just came home a few hours ago. But yall won't see it until new year heh cause I wanna write everything out first before publishing it one by one~

I'm so excited to share with you my trip to Thailand so here we go!

DAY 1 . . . 

Our flight was at about 12 plus in the afternoon so we headed for the airport around 9:45AM. My mom is so kiasu she says we better be there early lol. Oh, this trip to BKK/PTTY was with fam bam (that includes my cousins, aunts and uncles).

We took Thai Airways as usual (standard airlines that my parents will take if we ever travel to Bangkok).


Specially filtered for Instagram. Oh yes, we decided to get the AIS Traveller SIM card at Changi Recommends for SGD13 bucks. Yes, even though it may seemed a little ex, especially since there are 4 of us but we chose to get it here at Changi Airport instead of at the Thailand airport because there are hardly any queues here, 

Boy were we right when we landed. The moment everyone got their bags and went out, there was a long queue for the SIM cards, thank God we got ours already and so we were able to use the internet as soon as we touched down! 

By the way, the traveller SIM card that we used has unlimited data of 2.5GB for 7 days usage. For someone who uses social media everyday (especially Instagram and Snapchat), the SIM card was really useful. 

Plus, it is also convenient to communicate with one other as we not only can whatsapp, we can call as well. But since we have unlimited data, all of us used whatsapp and whatsapp call most of the time, 

I would recommend getting the AIS Traveller SIM card for those who are travelling to Thailand! Get it at Changi Recommends if you do not want to queue. Plus, it's only a 1 dollar difference between the price here in SG and in BKK. (SG is 13 bucks, BKK is 12 bucks) 


Alright, so anyway, as soon as we land, we took a taxi to our hotel in Bangkok! So the plan for this Thailand trip was to spend 3 days in Bangkok and then 3 days in Pattaya. (Warning, bad idea to stay in BKK and then go to Pattaya, you'll know why later on) 

Whenever our family travels to Bangkok for holiday, we will always stay the same hotel. In fact, for more than 10 years, my family will always stay this particular hotel. 

Pathumwan Princess Hotel. 

I would say it is like our "second home" in BKK. The room we stayed in was amaze-balls, it was a suite since my dad is sort of like a member of the hotel. I mean, my parents knew almost everyone in the hotel. And the staff remembers them as well. Get what I mean when I said it is like our second home lol.

Before I show yall the pictures, I kinda forgot to take pictures of the bathroom which is like the main area cause the bathroom is HUGE. Like it has not only a shower BUT A BATHTUB AS WELL. And its a little big that you can actually walk around the bathroom lmao. Ok anyway back to pictures. 

This is what you see when you first step in

Don't mind my bro, he was being weird.. as always. LMAO

the TV and study area..

They have speakers for us to connect our ipod in but sadly only the older iPhones or iPods can fit. 

Complimentary bottles given as always (my mom love to ask housekeeping for 10 extra more gosh) and espresso machine! I have never used an espresso machine before so I was so excited to try. Plus, it's complimentary as well. 

Study table which has notepad + pen and the phone. We all love to seat at that area cause the chair's comfy lol and also the charging area is there. Now you know why my bro is hiding in that corner (looking like a grumpy old man) AHAH. 

living room area!

Okay, yall must be wondering.. why is there a bed in the living room? Well cause my bro sleeps there heh. You see, there's four of us in a suite. There's only 1 king size bed. So obviously we need another 2 extra beds right. So 1 bed was a portable one (the ones where you can fold it and wheel around) while the other was the sofa bed!

Yep the bed you're seeing in the picture is a sofa bed! We kinda did a little interior arrangement the moment we came into our room. Shifting furniture here and there oh gosh, felt so bad for the housekeeping people.

So basically we pushed the sofa bed to one corner and shifted the sofa from the inside room out into the living room. Plus, bringing the sofa from the room out into the living room could make space for the other bed.

the entrance to the inner room!!
It's a sliding door by the way. Yeah, as you can see from the pink chou chou, that's my bed.. Or it was anyway. I switched with my dad cause I was so cold as the aircon was facing directly on me. So I ended up sleeping with my mom on the kind sized bed while my dad slept on the single bed.

Another TV and that door is the entrance to the bathroom!
Darn it! I actually did a room tour on my Snapchat and I forgot to save the snaps! :( Ish okay, next time!!!!

Anyway, so after we settled down into our rooms, we headed out to MBK Shopping Centre. In case yall don't know, Pathumwan Princess Hotel is actually just right next to MBK (Ma-Boong-Krong), they are basically linked so it makes it very convenient for us. (One of the reasons why we love staying there.)

There was a "pasar malam" happening outside MBK where lots of cute little souvenirs, clothings and even food were being sold! We were super hungry as it was dinner time so we headed downstairs.

welcome to the winter camp market!
Specially during Christmas period I guess! But there was just lotsa food and drinks there!!




Pad thai!
Come to thailand obviously must eat Pad Thai right?!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE PAD THAI!!! It is something similiar to kuay teow but more sour-ish. Oh and did I mention? EVERYTHING IS FREAKING CHEAP LIKE WTF.

see what i mean?!!!
Thailand is truely the place where you can get authentic, thai food for CHEAP PRICES!!!!! A bowl of wanton mee is less than 3 bucks?!! WOOHOO



Am I tempting yall now by showing these pictures lol? Even I myself is drooling as I'm typing this out. Sigh. Should have tabao back to SG.. 



'

Here's a compilation of my snaps that I took at the market!

I had coconut juice as well! I think this trip is where I ever drank a lot of coconut juice in my entire life lmao. Idk but like the moment I am in Thailand, all I ever want to drink is coconut juice.

The first day we didn't really do a lot of stuff since most of the time is travelling.. So let's move on to day 2!

DAY 2 . . . 



Of course must start the day with breakfast right..! I've always looked forward for the hotel's buffet breakfast whenever I travel. It's cause when I'm back at home, I will never eat this type of American style breakfast cause who the heck has time to cook a delish breakkie like this? Sigh.

I literally ate omelette for the three days I was there. I used to love scrambled eggs but now I'm into omelettes! Especially the ones where the insides are still a little runny.. YUM!

Anyway, day 2 we are off to Or Tor Kor Market! 

I think it is some where near Cha Tu Chak as well but since day 2 was Christmas, CTC confirm a lot of people so I think that's why we went OTK instead. 

we took the mrt!!


any idea whats this..? hehe
This little coin look alike thingy is actually used to scan the gantry at the mrt! It's equal to the cards that we use back at home! At first we were all like "eh what's this coin look a like thingy", I thought we gotta insert it in but actually we just scanned it normally lol.

ft fat thighs



Or Tor Kor market!



Another round of Pad Thai cause 1 is never enough!!!

just look at that xio bak!!!!!
Are you drooling yet? I KNOW I AM SIGH OMG AND MUST I STRESS THIS AGAIN.. CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP!!!!!

I wouldn't say Or Tor Kor Market would be a place for youngsters cause it was really hot and humid and it kinda makes you very tired. Apparently only the aunties were able to shop and buy lotsa stuff lol. We took a taxi back to the hotel cause we find it too hot to take the mrt all over again.

Once we got back to the hotel, we rested a while before starting the shopping down at MBK! See how convenient it is with a shopping mall just downstairs heh.


Me and fam had dinner at Sukishi! Where each of us gets our own individual steamboat and we get to pick dishes from the travellator for our steamboat. Super affordable and delish! :D

Compilation of day 2 snaps! (Not everything is in here cause I didn't snap everything)


Alright, thats all for Day 1 and 2! I'll see yall in the next post for the next days! :D 

God Bless <3
