Restaurant - Ajisen Ramen

It's been a long time since I posted something here. And now I am back. Not sure if I will be able to post regularly, but I'll try. LOL.

It's not our first time to eat at Ajisen Ramen, but my friend was so hungry and it's the first restaurant we saw. Good thing I love Japanese food! I was still so full and still recovering from that salad buffet we had for lunch.

The one we visited was in Takashimaya. Love the interior!

The menu

The food.

This is for me. My dinner

Chatuchak - The mother of all Tiangge! (flea market)

A bangkok trip is not complete without visiting their very famous flea market - Chatuchak!

Yes, it is the mother of all tiangge! From Zara, Prada, Tod's, Mulberry, Burberry, Rolex, Cartier, Tiffany & Co., Tag Heuer, Louis Vuitton, Gucci and the list goes on and on ... you'll definitely find it here. The best part is, they are cheap! Well of course, they're fake! That's why! haha...

But, aside from those fake items, you can also find a lot of other interesting things here that you can buy for yourself, your house, etc!

Thailand street foods are everywhere in Chatuchak as well! I thought I am not going to try one, but hey, it looked delicious!

If you are really into shopping and you love the cheap buys, you better book that next flight to Bangkok now and spend all your money there (no credit card in Chatuchak pls)! LOL!

I took a lot of photos in Chatuchak, so this is just the first part.

P.S. You can go to Chatuchak by train, so book your hotel near any of the stations. I suggest book a hotel in Siam area. Siam is where all the high end malls are located. So at least if your friends are not in for flea market shopping, it's a win-win :)

Of course, traveling by train is much more cheaper.

OK, for shoppers, the fun starts here!

Ice candy?

This is where we ate our lunch! We were sooo hungry so we just have to eat here. The food was nice.  They serve western food! haha.

Food food food...

I'll end this post here! I love these shoes! I love the color! Only if I can buy all of them! lols

Travel Post : Wat Pho Complex - Bangkok, Thailand

This is the same location where the reclining buddha (from my previous post) can be found. Good thing we visited Bangkok on a good weather. I remember, the last time we went here, the sun was burning hot!!! So hot that my camera started shaking so I was not able to get a good picture.

Tourists flock here not only to see the reclining Buddha but the other temples and buddha figures as well.

There's a lot of beautiful stupas here. Most of them are from the royal family. I can't say anything much but for sure you'll see them if you visit the reclining buddha because it was just right outside its temple.

One thing I've learned about these stupas is that they always have the 4 most important colors in Thailand.  hmmm let me try to remember them haha. I know blue is royalty. white is purity. yellow and green. Please help me remember what the last 2 colors represent.

The ashes are placed at the lower part of each stupa.

These kinds of figurines are everywhere in Bangkok. I just don't know what it represents. But very cute!

It's soo hard to take a picture without a stranger on.

Look at the details. Can you see the 4 colors?

Travel Post : The Reclining Buddha - Thailand

Going back to our Bangkok, Thailand trip :) , we also visited the reclining buddha temple. I didnt see it the first time I went to Bangkok although we visited the same exact place. We thought it was a place where people pray and we didn't know that the reclining buddha was inside.

Anyways, I was so impressed with the intricate details on the wall and of course the golden reclining buddha! It was soooo huge!

According to our tour guide, it is made out of cement and gold plated. It's a must-see in Bangkok, definitely.

Did you know that buddha's different hand position represents a day in week?
