Finally back from BANGKOK, THAILAND.

Its definitely not nearly a "land of smiles", instead "a land of scams"

Thousands of scams to trick tourists happens everyday. Yeah, I fell prey to one but oh well, the ride is still cheap, even though along the way they send you to this gem shop which I was totally not interested. My mum kept nagging and overly worried whether they were going to kidnap us and sail us to the China seas. Even which, I when I reach china I will make my way to the embassy.

Well, my story was that I was at CentralWorld shopping centre and this "friendly" thai guy came up to me and told me that I was very lucky that the "lucky buddha" temple is open today, only once a month it opens. He offered to bring me there and back for only 20baht, which is equivalent to about 90cents. So why not, I naively hopped on the tuk-tuk and off we went.
The temple was mysteriously quiet and empty. Along the way back, he insisted that we went to this Thai export centre that sells gems and stuff, whatever certificate they may show, it can be bought! So my mum and I reluctantly just walked around the shop for less than 5 minutes and left.

Tuk-Tuk is a fun but OVERLY PRICEY way to get round. Taxis are no cheaper either, unless they go by the meter, which they obviously refuse as they can demand triple the meter price.
When you get into a cab, they will cook up a story about how the place you are going to not open yet, in the mean time, they can bring you to some seafood restaurant, or a jewellery shop, just kindly refuse. BLOODY SCAMS.

FOOD is wonderful, they come at such low prices that you may wonder what kind of ingredients they use. BUt oh well, FRIED OYSTERS rocks your socks off! Crispy on the outside and oysters so fat they burst in your mouth. YUMMY!

Bangkok is really a shopping destination, but that's if you are SKINNY and SLIM. Even the ah kua look better than me. SHITS. So ya, it was really difficult to find anything that fits there because the sizes were either extremely small, or if not, my size doesnt exists there.
