Today: Got on a boat, a bus, a taxi, and went to Central Plaza, different from the other one before. (how many are there?!) and visited Platinum mall. Just walked around aimlessly because the layout is super confusing.
Travelling by regular boat = 14 baht
Travel by tourist boat = 40 baht
Also, it was hilarious when our boat splashed on a tourist boat and got some guy's pants leg all soaked.
on a boatttt
people waiting to get on
empty
hell yeah pepsi comes in a bottle
stray dogs everywhereeeeeee
street vendor place - why do we eat hot stuff when its hot outside?
On the bus , an older lady slowly made her way onto the bus. You could tell she struggled a little bit because she wobbled as she got on. The guy sitting in the first seat immediately got up and gestured her to sit there. He probably didn’t know the bus was full either because when I looked back to see where he sat, he was standing instead because it was completely full. Even if he did, it was a generous act my camera could never capture.
where they have new years gathering like NY
a different Central World, the one they burned during protests and took 6 months to rebuild
I FOUND HEAVEN
WIL BUY ONE SOON
yeah, this is their list of stores. seriously.
i think that "FUCR" word is bad
Also I think "BRTCH" is a bad word too in a mall
GRAPHIC DESIGN
Platinum mall, with 2,000+ stores in 2 buildings
Platnium Mall, will get a photo eventually, but picture side by side small rooms of clothing, or accessories, or souvenirs, or games, or etc in long aisles. Bought two v-necks for $7ish - colored and striped! My shopping list includes:
- pants for fall
- more jean shorts
- collar shirts
- stripe tank tops
Ate on the top floor, the 5th? 6th? whatever, and it was delicious. Another long row of food to choose by paying with a coupon card.
My aunt watering her garden?
You dont have to watch the whole video, just gives you a small glimpse
On the way there at 6:30am in the morning.
I was wide awake while everyone slept.
I was pretty interested in their architecture style, I noticed one building with art deco!
That's one thing school taught me.
I also couldn't tell where Bangkok ended,
we drove for 30 minutes and it still looked like we were in Bangkok.
We arrived at a passing by city, like how Smryna is to Murfreesboro. We stopped for breakfast, even though we had a box of krispykreme. My aunt bought me lotto tickets, already picked and ready to be bought. I'm not sure how much money it is or anything
We arrived on campus to Dear's school.
It's called Burapha University <-- read more
Their buildings are MASSIVE with a 256 acre land. This university campus is pretty widespread and larger than UT-Knoxville fo sure.
Tutition is not even $200. (SERIOUSLY)
The dorms are only $60.
Most places in Bangkok are outsideish.
EhHhh! So we have it lucky with all of our A/C buildings
Arrived at Dear's dorm. Video below.
I asked how much apartments were, she said if it is near the skytrain is 20,000 baht ($660), if its further it can range from 2,000-6,000 baht. No way. I would love to live in Bangkok in an apartment then.
Leave your shoes at the door applies to dorms too
I wondered why us U.S students take 10 boxes when it comes to moving in/out of dorms and my cousin only had 2 bags. It is because they dont need clothes, they have uniforms.
Hey, delicious coconut made ice cream for only 10 baht. With nuts and lychee. SO GOOD.
Do you ever remember ice cream being only 30 cents?
It didn't have a creamy texture, but the texture rubbed against your tongue in your mouth as it melted. Super impressed.
FLASHBACK, this is me, my brother, and my sister.
In one family photo, I have on a yellow shirt and my brother that exact outfit. This is weird.
Not kidding. This family reminded me of my family so long ago. All asian girls have that haircut at this age.
We visited the aquarium on her campus.
I went there last time I was here, but its always great to visit places again
My favorite was the octopi
And whatever these are.
I am so tempted to get coffee.
It's only $1.40 for all kinds - this is too good to be true.
Monkey Mountain!
Where monkeys roam the mountainside and you can feed them. They are wild though. I was sad I couldn't get out of the car to take better photos.
This seafood restaurant by the mountain was delicious. $30 for our 4 seafood dishes.
Our biggest meals for 4 has only been around $30. Uh, awesome.
Seafish pronounced "GOW"
This was mild, except not really.
Their spice level surpasses mine by 100x
I dont know how to eat seafood. I mean, there isn't any places in Tennessee really. Theres a few, but expensive. That does not fit a college budget.
If you park in the sun, they will cover it up for you. How nice! Everything is self - serve in the U.S. What a way to give jobs.
Dropped Dear off and went to Tesco Lotus. Basically, a Walmart for Thais with yellow signs and green logos.A guy yelled at me for taking photos, so yeah - theres an idea.
Their packaging is different. Design wise, bottles are taller and skinner, and soap comes in bags.
Glass can also be used for liquids as we just bought mini-glass pepsi cans.
