New Experience in Bangkok - Thai Cooking Class

My trip was really an enjoyable one for my friend arranged a series of fun activities we did not try before, say cooking class.

My friend picked Baipai which provided transport service from and to the hotel you stay. A small corner of selling cooking tools. 

















The (outdoors) clasroom was well equipped.

















Everything was ready and handy.

















Here's the cooking module. All students watched how the teacher prepared a dish first, then tried themselves according to the provided recipes. Look at the mirror on the ceiling which allowed students to watch demonstration more clearly. What a thoughtful design.

















Demonstrating how to make a deep friend cup.

















Yummy filling in yummy deep friend cups.

















Hoho. I suddenly became a Thai cook in the cooking school.

















I love the curry most which was rich in taste but not too hot.

New Experience in Bangkok - Cruise in the Evening

Thanks for my friend's arrangement. I did have a fun and relaxing trip in Bangkok. My friend booked a cruise as the official kick off of our 5-day trip.

This cruise ship was so crowd. Relax, it's a water bus instead.


















Here is our cruise ship which is in traditional Thai style. The gal in pink was responsible for dancing and music instrument performance.

View from our cruise ship. The site was probably built by the Chinese community as there are Chinese characters on the buildings.


















Wat Kanlayamit - The temple was served as a donation to the king from a Chinese nobleman around 200 years ago. The main building is in Thai style while others buildings in the site contains touches of Chinese style.

Wat Arun - The Khmeter-style tower of this royal temple was once the tallest building in Bangkok.

Besides of beautiful view along the Chao Phraya River, the local Thai food was good too.

Wat Rakhang - The name means bell temple since there are many bells insides.

Royal Grand Palace - the official residence of Thai king and also one of the most popular tourist sightseeing spots. The actual scene was much more beautiful than the photo as my camera is not good at night.

New Experience in Bangkok - Luxury Accomodation at Sukhothai

Staying at Sukhothai was a wonderful experience. The hotel was very beautiful and appealing. The more important point was the staff were friendly. Impressive services.

Though the hotel is located in the financial district, its resort-like garden helps customers to relax.

















Felt having peace of  mind at the Chedi Pond.

















The hotel entrance demonstrated elegance.

















The Deluxe Suite was sooooooo large. Bathroom and washroom were on the left. Sitting room was in the front and bedroom was on its left.

















Bed is always a key factor for me to evaluate a hotel. I rated Sukhothai full mark.


















The coffee machine was cool.

New Experience in Bangkok - Snapshots in Bangkok

Watching cotton clouds is always a happy thing.

















Almost arrived Bangkok.

















A wall painting showing Thailand in the past.

















Highly recommended this coconut ice-cream at weekend market. The unique selling point was the cup of coconut water.

















A boy playing traditional music instrument at weekend market. 

















Fruits cut in lovely shapes. Though the shapes did not add marks to the taste, we did consider the presentation was appealing.
