Bangkok Has a Fallen 8! 一路走曼谷 =)

Bangkok, a indeed busy city with crowded people everywhere and busy always. Busy city like KL but with more complicated but systematic transport system. Traffic jam everywhere~~but the citizen there seems no need to worry to have no job to do although the city is full with "human resources". Thats how Bangkok different with Malaysia, where robbing, stealing, snatching is all around.

Overall this trip is just simply to walk and shop, not visiting any temple, i cant resist the hotness also! hahaha
btw... fallen 8 --> infinite... infinite shops!!!

Prologue
So begin the trip all the way from penang first, taking bus to KL and bring my mum to have a visit on the excessively decorated PAVILION, i think they should held a contest to count how many lantern in PAVILION...count til gila! hahaha



the next day morning its time to depart from LCCT
air asia flight to bangkok DON MEUANG airport
