Bangkok Day 1

Last weekend, we flew to Bangkok for the weekend.
We were at the Changi International Airport at 9.40am checked in our luggage then went straight to the Duty free area for MacDonald breakfast.




Isabel always remember there's a indoor playground there next to the MacDonald.







She took a few bites then sipped her ice milo, but managed to spill some on her t-shirt.

Good thing I'm able to wash it off and dry it under the hand dryer.




The flight was scheduled at 10.45am, but it was delayed for half hour.

See the line of angry people waiting to go in?






Once we reached Bangkok, we went to this new shopping place call Siam Paragon, which is only a traffic junction away. The Paragon sells high class stuff which I think its not affordable for most local people. Even for tourist like me, I'm there for the cheap stuff, cheap with the capital letter "C". I won't even think of going into such shops.

But it has got a tourist attraction call Siam Ocean World located in the basement.

The entrance fee is 450 baht. There are seven section :
Weird and Wonderful; Deep Reef; Living Ocean; Rain Forest; Rocky Shore; Open Ocean; Sea Jellies.

You can go from one exhibition to another just by following the 'road'. Siam Ocean World consists mainly of small sized and bigger sized aquariums with various fish and other sea creatures. Fishes include sharks, a giant grouper, stingrays, giant crabs etc.

You can walk through some tunnels with water and fish all around you. There are also some small theatres for video displays and explanations.
But the sad thing is the spoken explaination is in Thai, no idea what he's talking no matter how lively he sounded.

One small exhibition displays various seastars, and you are invited to touch them. If you never did, we can tell you they feel like rocks.
The most disappointing section was the 'Sea Jellies' section, where we expected to see some large jelly creatures, but where only shown miniscule (2-3cm) though colorful examples.






All those walking... Isabel was starting to drag, but when she saw the Ball Pool, her eyes lited up and very soon she disappeared among the colorful land of slides and balls.







Saw this sign at the corridor of the hotel, its the name of a Japanese Restaurant.

Interesting name...
