Gourmet@Bangkok

My first ever trip to Bangkok, Thailand. The land of pretty boys, lady boys, transvestites...It was such a wonderful trip I'm beginning to miss it already :P

We were staying at this hostel called Takeanap along Silom road in silom district. Within walking distance to Sala Daeng BTS station and close to PatPong Bazaar. Nice location. Nice room with wall deco. Nice helpful staff. So much so that we treat the nice lady mango smoothie on our last day before we wave byebye to Bangkok :)

Similar to here, the food in Bangkok was abundant, easily available and u can choose from the roadside stalls to the chic bars and restaurants. I find the price comparable to KL.

One thing I noticed about the Thai people is that they are so SLIM! Not fat like alot of Malaysians do! Also, the Thai office boys like to wear white shirt and low cut/slim fit pants showing off their long slender feet and tight bottoms. So damn sexy!!! Besides the fact that they probably walk and climb more, it has to do with their diet! Yeah, my friend was complaining how come their BTS stations doesn't have elevators and have to walk up the stairs! Imagine u been busy shopping all day and u have to climb the stairs one step at a time to reach the station..... Not become slim also cannot lar? My feet were almost going numb LOL. Also, Thai food seem to be less fatty and oily compare to here. Just think about rendang, nasi lemak, most of malay food,  etc etc... well, u get the drift.
