Thailand Travel and Foodhunting Diary Part VI

Continuing day 3 at huahin…

After we finished from the first floating market, we headed to Sam Phan Nam Floating market. Nah this one was the real floating market guys, even we didn’t see any seller using the canoe on the water for selling, but I bet you this one was more bigger and better than the 1^st one.

It just took around 15 minutes from huahin floating market to Sam Phan Nam floating market.

Here we can see many small booths from traditional foods, snacks, finger foods, accessories, clothes, and so on.

The air at Sam phan nam also more better than Huahin floating market. Here’s some photos of Sam Phan Nam floating market.

Day 3 - 17 Mar 2014

There it is, my day 3 traveling to Huahin, ahh, on this part I'll give more photos about the 1st and 2nd place that I went.
And it was a long day trip here from Bangkok to huahin. It took 3 hours trip, but the big van we booked was so comfy, and a little big to us that just consists of 4 person.

The van can fit until 9 person, you'll feel really comfy here along your trip.
Before felt asleep, I enjoy the view first, woohoo!

Snapped photo along the highway to Huahin, a bit look alike my hometown but with different language, lols. You know, the highway at Thailand was awesome, you can see the sea up there.

Here we are arrived the 1st huahin tourism spot....

Continuing my Day 2 trip....

After all of us taked bath, we rushly and directly went to Siam Paragon for having dinner. Along finding out place to be sat and ate, I snapped the beautiful and unique design concept of the Siam Paragon Mall.
Two photos that I snapped was restaurant and cafe, you can see clearly that the 1st one was the cafe with interesting design of tree of arts and in soft pink color. Then the second photo was a Japan Restaurant, unique isn't it?

Day 2 - 15 Mar 2014

Actually on this "Day", we planned for Huahin trip, sadly the bus all rented out, so we changed the plan directly.
First thing first, we booked ticket for Madame Tussaud self-tour (600 baht) and for Calypso Show (800 baht). As for me, buying ticket for the Madame Tussaud tour was not a problem, because I can see the arts of the statue they made, but for Calypso???

Gosh they were Lady-Boy guys, and for just seeing the Lady-boy I must paid 800baht? If we count in IDR it was around IDR 288k. Mariani then told me, "just watch it, it is your 1st time here". Then I just go with the flow.... #moneygone

Okay dear readers, for this part I'll tell you about the Jatujak Market first.
After the booking session finished, we headed to Jatujak Market. It was a traitional market that consists of about 1000 booths there, Amazing!

We took ride by ART, same like Monorail at Kuala Lumpur. Jatujak Market was located at Mo Chit, it was the last place at the railway map. 1 person cost 32 baht per one way.

Continue from day 1 ....

Nah.. than we arrived at Baiyoke Sky Hotel for having a buffet dining. It's weekend (Saturday night) and of course it cost us an expensive dinner that day, 800 baht/person (Idr 288.000). 
But, because it was our first time here, why not?????

The buffet located at 78th floor, then you'll see so many people Q-ing there for having buffet dinning too, and some of them just having a short tour of the Baiyoke Sky Hotel itself.
We choose the Buffet with International Dining, means all kind of foods indeed. Yay!

I'll give you the night view from the 78th floor baby. What a nice view and I called it "A city of light", not like my lovely hometown, hmmmmm "A city of dark (blackout)". Always!

Thailand Travel and Foodhunting Diary Part 1

We were planning the Thailand Trip from November last year and consist group of four people. The idea was suddenly made by my dearest friend or I may say the best brother for me, Benny.
He suddenly said "Wanna try travel Thailand?" and that's why we were planning travelling there.
We are Mariani, Benny, Juliani and Me. Mariani the one that ever went there around 2 to 3 times, so we choose her to became our guide of course. :D

Day 1 - 14 March 2014
As what we discussed, we went to Kualanamu Airport by using Train because none of us were ever going by train, ahh... so shame, LOL.
I was the one that been choose to bought the Train ticket, and FYI guys, if you're going to airport by train that consist of 4 person, you'll get progressive promo of Idr 62.5k per person only. Quite cheap you know, because I ever heard that normal price was Idr 80k/person, is that true?

 (Railway Station - Medan)

Actually I loved the small hall of the information center, ticket counter, the cafe of Starbucks, Lobby that was all together in one Hall. Even small but so neat and clean, far from what I imagine (the negative one). Really loved the place, or because I never go to another city railway station so that I called this one was nice?

Coffee Time at Warung Kopi Srikandi - Medan

Talking about Warung Kopi a.k.a Kopitiam was really widely spread at almost entire of Medan City. The real Kopitiam was actually located down street or usually opened at most of traditional market here.
But nowadays, you can see most of Kopitiam/Warung Kopi was opened at Mall or even stand alone by the design looks alike Cafe.

You can see My review about this Warung Kopi Srikandi also at makanmana.net , I already posted it with some touche of writting collaboration with Mr.L (Initial).
