悠闲星期天之适耕庄一日游

之前就有打算要去适耕庄拍照了，可是要碰到对的时间才可以拍到绿幽幽的稻田，刚好3月中到5月中这段时间是稻的成长期，而且是一片绿色，就让我迫不及待想去了。跟同事提起，他们也有兴趣，那我们就一起去咯！就选在星期天出发。在网上找到这个表，可以参考看看哦！

我们大约10点半出发，到的时间就刚好吃午餐了，在不知道那家好吃的情况下，我们唯有找最多人饭店，一间名叫“阿娇”的饭店， 等了大概15分钟吧，我们就有位子了，我们7个人点了6样菜肴，结账才RM146，算是很便宜。这家饭店没有空调，所以汗也不停的流，连阿妹也热到变“阿嫂”了。

过后我们就直接到沙滩，这个沙滩命名为“热浪沙滩”。来到这里一定要拍一拍那块牌子，才算是到过适耕庄。由于天气真的太热了，我们都是躲在阴凉的地方，不然真的会中暑。在热热的天气下，最好就是可以喝一些消暑的饮料，我们就坐在沙滩附近的摊位，叫了“Coconut Shake”，不是很好喝，但是足够让我凉了一下。

汗水都还未干，我们又要去下一站了，我们去米厂，这厂坐落在适耕庄的B村，我们过了一片绿绿的稻田就到了这间厂，可是我们没有参观，只是在外面走走而已。每天都在忙碌的市区内，真的可以放慢脚步享受一下这里的宁静，看看绿色的田地，也顺便替我家阿妹拍照留念。

沿着米厂这条路，我们可以去到果园，这个果园多数是种植水翁、酸甘和柠檬。在这里也可以歇一歇，吃吃水果。

不知不觉已经4点多了，也是时候要回家了，但是在回之前，我们在“阿嬷的家”停了一下，拍拍照，也顺便帮阿妹换了衣服，让她舒服一些，可以睡着回家。

　　

虽然只是短短的一日游，但是已经很足够了，现在跟同事再研究着下个目的地，期待！

~2554~ Bangkok-Pattaya Shopping Fun Day 5

The last day of our trip, not willing to go back, but we had to go back. =(

Day 5: Central World, Platinum Mall, Suvarnabhumi Airport

As with yesterday, we have breakfast at the hotel before we go out for shopping. Because it is the last day in Bangkok, we need to do the final sprint. Yes, shopping shopping shopping. Once again, we went to Platinum Mall.

Before our crazy shopping, we went to Central World, just right opposite of Big C Supercenter. It's also one of the victim during last year riots in Bangkok, the conditions of Central World are almost the same with Big C, and now they are still ongoing their progress on the renovation. Hope they can back to normal in the soonest.

Central World is NOW OPEN

Although we have our breakfast, but we can not escape from the food temptation. And here, I have my favorite "Auntie Anne's". As I mentioned in previous blog, different country produce different kind of food and menu, the same with Auntie Anne's and KFC in Thailand.

Auntie Anne's, they served with cheese, double-cheese and I like cheese~ Say CHEEEEEEESE!

The Auntie Anne's Kiosk

Double Cheese Ham Pretzel Roll

Cheesy Chicken Bites

KFC, what they have, we don't have~ Ice-Cream and Egg Tart! But today just found out, Malaysia has bringing in the Egg Tart, haven't try yet, will try it in the soonest.

Phew~ So fast, we have to end our shopping, as we need to go back to the hotel before 4 o'clock, where the travel agent will send us to the airport. Then we have lunch nearby our hotel, it's easy for us to go back before the driver come.

Ooooo.. After eating lunch， it's time to go to airport, because we are early, we checked-in first then walked around at the duty free area. Meantime, to eat something before aboard.

These few days in Bangkok, Phin Phin don't even have himself a piece of beloved things, until he saw this mobile phone, "i-mobile". Phin Phin like this phone so much as it's cheap and it's duo sim card function. He had been long looking for a duo sim-card phone since last year, and those phones are Made in China, China Brand, it's expensive too. And now, he got what he want. A cheap and nice mobile phone. But recently, there's problem with my phone, and force to use Phin Phin's phone until I've a new one. What phone should I buy?

Made in Thailand

Woo.. It's so quickly for our 5 days 4 nights Bangkok-Pattaya Tour. 4 of us are happy, mostly me and Pui Kuan, as we love shopping. Bangkok really a good place for shopping, will plan again in the coming year 2012, hope Phin Phin will not get bored and say "No" to me. Hehe :)

The end... 8 March 2554.. Happy Holidays~

~2554~ Bangkok-Pattaya Shopping Fun Day 4

A day with food, shopping and massage, so relaxing!! I like this way of life~

Day 4: Pratunam Market, Platinum Mall, Big C Supercenter

In the fourth day, we turned on our leisure mood to the peak.. We woke up around 9 o'clock in the morning, slowly enjoy our breakfast in the hotel, without any hurry. Then we go back to room to discuss our plan for today. At first, we thought to go for Safari World, but the charges are so expensive, 1200baht/person. Me and Pui Kuan think that it's not worth it, better we use this money to shop for more nice clothes. :) We are just the light shopaholic!

Remember the tour guide mentioned to us before, there is one market at Pratunam area. Since we don't know where to go, we all agreed to go for this market, it's an indoor+outdoor market. And here, we met a very terrible thing, when we are screening on the clothes, suddenly, there are people running towards our way and screaming loudly in Thai, of course we don't know what happened and what they are talking about, we only followed them to run out from the building. When we are outside, saw there is smoke from a shop, just that we know one of the shop is on fire. We hurried leave the place as we do not know what will happen later. Afraid~

Then no choice, we move ourselves to Platinum Mall, this time, we went to the shopping mall next to it, forget what it's name, although there are not many shops, but their variety are almost the same with Platinum Mall. And as usual, Phin Phin and Jek Chee wait us at the coffee shop, me and Pui Kuan go for shopping. After 2 hours, we felt tired and hungry, then we go for our lunch at 6th Floor, Platinum Mall, the food court. This food court is well organized, before we make any order, we have to swipe a card, and this card can buy from the cashier counter. We have to credit into the card in order to purchase food from the food counter. If there is balance, we can get back the money.

Fried Chicken Rice

Thai Fried Mee

Ice Blended Juicy Mango Juice (Thai Mango - Ichiban desu)

When I'm oversea, I like to try on fast food, like KFC and McD, try something different from own country, because each country has its own menu and flavor. While in Thailand, they served the same "Hot&Spicy" fried chicken as Malaysia, and their own flavor too, which is "KFC Wing Z Zabb", crispy and non spicy fried chicken. Yummy Yummy~ I love fried chicken, but I hate calories!

KFC Pepsi

After lunch, we continued our shopping, another 2 hours to go.. Then we back to hotel have a short break and take bath before our dinner. 7 o'clock, we get ready to out for dinner, this time, we went to Big C Supercenter. Since last year incident, Big C is now ongoing their renovation and can see that, it's partially done. We dinner at their food court, nice environment.

Then we passed by one of the bakery shop, saw this spotted color cake. Looks so cute and attractive, can wait to buy a slice. Inside is the color layer cake, but it's taste so sweet and the cake itself so hard. Not delicious at all, just the outlook of the cake is nice. Being cheated, but good try. So special~

After dinner and street food, the night is still young, we are desperate to go for massage before leaving Bangkok, so we go for massage, where just nearby our hotel. This time, we chose to have 1 hour foot massage and 1 hour Thai oil massage, 2 hours massage just 550baht, it's cheap. And that night itself, I have a good sleep, so comfortable.

That's all for Day 4, 7 March 2554 (to be continued...)
