Bangkok Day 2

Despite the lack of sleep, we all woke up early to have breakfast at the hotel.



We then got ready and headed to the Crocodile farm. It was about an hour away from the hotel and entrance was 300 THB (12.50 SGD). We first watched the elephant show which lacked energy and charm.







The crocodile show wasn't due to start till late so we looked around first and had lunch at the Crocodile Restaurant.





The crocodile show was more fun and a lot more exciting, it's the highlight of our visit to the farm.









We then rode the elephant and looked at the dinosaur museum before finally leaving.







We actually asked the cab driver to wait for us, what didn't occur to us was that he'll keep the meter running. Since we were at the farm for more than half the day, the meter was already at around 700 THB (29 SGD) when we got back. We then asked him to take us to MBK, it's like a bigger St. Francis Square.



An Auntie Anne's beckoned so we had a quick snack there and coffee at Starbucks before exploring the place further.



Except for iPhone cases, we didn't get anything at all since we were planning to go to the weekend market the next day. We then headed to Silom to have a massage and then to meet up with Wee. We had dinner at this pretty famous restaurant where the food is actually good. 



What surprised us and left an impression on us is not the food but the rudeness of almost all their staff. How very unlike Thailand. There were no smiles and the manager and the one serving us looked very very irritated. They also don't allow photographs so we had no choice but to have a group picture outside. 



Wee then took us to watch some exhibitions before heading back to Silom with some drinks. 




Abby and Eco then took off leaving us to party till almost 5am.
