Bangkok trip

25-29 Oct - It has been a wonderful 4 days trip to Bangkok last weekend. Going with 8 friends, playing Magic and experiencing Bangkok lifestyle, it couldn’t get any better.

Though I’ve done badly in GP Bangkok and PTQ KL, I took it on a positive note.I’ve learn something about the new set. U need to make sure that u build ur sealed deck to upmost synergy of creature tribes. U could been pulled to play with bomb cards and build around the color but it still about the tribe elements. Lorwyn can be tricky but after last weekend when I manage to see some pro players, it opens my eyes to new dimension and rating some cards in higher and better combination and in different colors. Still I lost badly.

But in Bangkok the night life is something u look forward to especially during weekend where they open market till late at night (mcm downtown). I significantly feel that u need to know around and familiar with places cause if u look too foreign, u can be targeted to be cheated. Kena pandai tawar-menawar especially with taxis and hawkers and generally u can get cheaper and fancier items here than in KL. Some people actually buying things here in Bangkok and sell back in KL for triple the price.

U would find that the girls here are gorgeous and cute in general. At first I thought it was only me but later my friends agree with me on this matter. That’s why Bangkok is called mini-heaven where the city is associated with guys finding pleasure here. It’s true that’s it easy to find access to beautiful girl or even massaging. There was a place called Poseidon where the girls there u could get for the night or even 2 hrs depending on ur budget. The place is as gigantic as Sunway Pyramid where the room is equipped with shower room, tv and huge bed.

U could not ignore that pork is like makanan ruji here and u could not run away from it. I even accompany my friend to eat pork chop and u could find it a little bit disgusting. What to do, my trip has more Chinese so just join them..but I ate mostly waffle, nasi even secret recipe just to be safe. If ur too fussy here, it’s quite troublesome to find the right food here. The tomyam here is superb and I even ate goring pisang with kelapa dipping..awesome!!

It’s not complete visiting Bangkok without visiting their temple. I manage to visit the Royal Grand Palace at the last day of the trip. I’ve been stopped at the guard post to wear long pants if I want to go in so I decided renting at 100 baht near the area. That day almost everyone wears in yellow shirt to respect and pray for the king who actually is ill at present. Coincidently, I wore my GP Bangkok t-shirt which is in yellow. The palace is huge and almost every crafting and building is in gold. Some area is restricted from taking pictures but I manage to slip-up one or two pics..hehe..don’t tell anyone k..

Overall I had fun and hopeful I could be back there for the GP Bangkok in 3 years time..
