Thailand-Malaysia-Singapore trip, December 2014.
From the places above itself, it sure sounds like a loooooot of fun, right?
I really regard his presence of mind during our trips, not just this one.
Simply because, he don't just enjoy things, he makes sure I enjoy the trip more than he does.
So, let's start the adventure, shall we?
It was an early morning flight, I remembered keeping my movements very low and silent at our home so not to wake up my parents.
I told them I'll be in Thailand with some girl friends, when in fact, it's not true. sssshhhh
And as usual, he was already there when I got to the airport, at Terminal 3.
We are suppose to arrive at Thailand airport at 9AM, but when we arrived, we were an hour early.
And so as I've checked my phone's time and the airport's time, I notice an hour difference.
And only then, did I understand that Thailand is an hour early from our country.
The whole time zone difference, I know.
So, the first thing we did, was go down stairs to buy tickets going to the famous garden of Thailand, the Nong Nooch in Pattaya!
While waiting for the bus, we ate at the airport's restaurant where we were introduced to Thailand food.
The trip to the garden was around 3 hours via bus.
The ticket was inclusive of the entrance to the whole garden, plus all of its plays/shows.
Ofcourse, the elephant show was the most remarkable one.
The elephants are very smart here, they can play basketball, they flip their big ears to show happiness and they perform very good as main actors of the show.
They also have plays running all day, which showcasts Thailand's traditions and lifestyles.
Afterwards, we stroll the area, the garden itself.
It was magnificent, how all the arrangements of the plants, herbs and flowers fill the whole place in a very fine way.
They even constructed the famous Stonehenge here, using plants of course.
It also has a huge maze of plants and flowers.
And thankfully, I brought my photographer with me. HAHAHHA
Afterwards, we went to Bangkok to check in for a hotel.
We were even planning to go to the famous night market of clothes.
But he was so tired to go there since we arrived at the hotel at around 10pm already via train and so we called it a night and just sleep on it.
The next day we had breakfast at the nearest convenient store from the hotel.
Then started exploring the nearby places, and happen to found a Buddha temple.
We bought tickets in order for us to tour the whole sacred place.
It was like a museum on its first and second floors but as we reached the top floor, a giant Buddha welcomed us. It was extremely big and a lot of people are praying and looking at it.
It was amazing, how the people back then constructed the whole thing.
Before heading to clothes market, we dine at their sidewalk chains for lunch.
We are really trying to live and eat like a local at any place we newly met.
After that, we rode a tuk-tuk going to the clothes market. The vehicle is like a tricycle here but a little bigger.
The place sure does presented new line of clothing at very cheap and affordable prices.
I really would like to shop all day but we have to catch the train going to Singapore.
The whole train thing is a very memorable one for me.
This would be a first time for the both of us to travel from one country to another via train!
We loaded a lot of junk foods, sandwiches and donuts in our bags before riding the train like it was a big field trip thing.
We were both surprised at Mister Donut here, because it is a lot different from what we are accustomed to in our country,
They are selling the donuts in a J.Co or Krispy Kreme way, like freshly baked donuts with different toppings and fillings.
You know what's fascinating about travelling together?
It's knowing that you jive with him like you want the same things and you get along pretty easily.
You get to know the other person on a different level - his travelling bags, gears, food personality.
It will be a lot easier to travel if the two of you work harmoniously in every decision making, small or big.
And that folks, alone, is what happened to this trip.
I really applaud that we didn't get into a fight, thus we really enjoyed the trip.
It was an adventure we both learned at, leaned on and admire in.
It will always be something we will forever treasure.
And the rest of the trip was history.
Enjoy the pictures!
