Summer Holiday


Hi friends, long time no see ...

This month I will share about my summer holiday. As you know, July is identic with school holiday and vacation; besides we had public holiday so we could enjoy a long weekend, do you agree with me? :)

So, in this summer holiday, I spent it in Bangkok only for three days.

I’m so happy because it’s a gift from my office, yeah exactly it’s free and we had pocket money too!! Could you imagine how happy was I? The pocket money made my happiness double J We’re 18 people, organized by tour.

In early plan we’re afraid of political situation there and also their swine flu. We anticipated swine flu by consumed vitamin for a week before and a week after we go. Thanks God we’re all healthy …

Day 1

We went to Grand Palace where the King of Thailand often holds ceremony there. There were so many temples there which were made of gold.


The famous one is Sleeping Buddha or Reclining Buddha : a giant Buddha statue. In that room we could buy a cup of small coins for 20 baht which we could put them into 120 pots, one by one to get some lucky and get the bad luck away from us.


We also went around Chao Phraya River by boat. We saw so many patin fish there. The legend said that white patin could give lucky to people who could feed them. So people in the boat usually sell breads to their customers to feed the fish.


After that we went to Wat Arun, a place that sells souvenirs. Because we had a tight schedule, so the tour guide gave us only 1 hour to shop!!

In the afternoon we checked in to our hotel, Twin Tower Hotel and we prepared to get our dinner cruise at Chao Phraya River. It's a fantastic experience .. The togetherness, the music, the dinner, the view, so perfect!! We went around Chao Phraya River for about 3 hours. We dance, took some pictures, chit chat, enjoyed the moment we shared that never be forgotten.


The dinner cruise ended at 10.00 PM then we went to Suanlum Night Bazaar. We shop there until 12.00 PM and still, not satisfied, still need more shopping hihihi.

Day 2

After breakfast, we visited Gems Factory then Supattraland, the fruit buffet, all you can eat.
When we finished with Gems Factory then we went to Pattaya for about 2 hours from Bangkok.
We checked in to Baron Beach Hotel and get a free schedule. We just walked around the hotel, the beach and walked into the mall in front of the hotel.

In the night, we prepared for watching Alcazar Show, the famous show from Thailand. You will be amazed when you saw this show : the costumes, the stage background, the light, and last but not least, of course the people or the stars of the show. They're all men, but beautiful like women, they had a good body to see, even more beautiful than the women had. Our tour guide told that they drink family planning pills since they were kids. Could you imagine that their parents also want their children to be like that? Unbelievable to thought.

After show, we could take some pictures with them but we must pay 40 baht for each pictures.





Day 3 (The last day)
We visited Honey Bee and took a picture below. It was said that if we took a picture with the bee so we will be lucky. Amennn :) There were 3 products : honey, bee pollen and royal jelly.
For the last schedule, we visited a shop that sells many special foods in Thailand.


And finally, we went to the airport, came to Kualalumpur International airport and transit for 3 hours there. We came to Jakarta at 9.30 PM. Thanks God, You had given me a very nice journey with my friends, all of us are healthy. Bless us so we could have next trip to another country. Amen.
