Suvarnabhumi Airport - Bangkok

During our trip, we landed at Suvarnabhumi Airport (Pronounced su-wan-na-poom). A cool airport with a beautiful structure. It is located at Racha Thewa, in Samut Prakan Province, about 25 km east of downtown Bangkok.

The name Suvarnabhumi was chosen by King Bhumipol Adulyadej, and refers to the ancient kingdom hypothesized to have been located somewhere in Southeast Asia. This airport was designed by Helmut Jahn of Murphy/Jahn Architects, which also designed Caltex House and Hitachi Tower in Singapore.

Found a cool quote on their web:

Creativity has to do more with the elimination of the inessential, than inventing something new. Perfection is achieved not when nothing is to be added, but when nothing can be taken away.

(Helmut Jahn,July 1999)

Makan @ Bangkok

Superb food at the city of Bangkok. The food is very good and cheap.
Try to go for the street food @ Sukhumvit Road...


Mango glutinous rice @ Sukhumvit














Fried egg and white rice
@Sukhumvit










Salad and Chicken with Basil @ Cabbages & Condoms Restaurant
















Superb fish salad @ MBK Mall. Crispy fried fish served with peanut and vegetables.
Must try.











A Thai girl promoting their food..
I think it's a mixture or fried ginger, nuts and fresh lime, wrap in daun sirih. Taste good.











Pork Salad












Sausages outside Jatujak Weekend Market














Coconut ice cream in Jatujak Market
Very refreshing. Cheap.












A must-try in Jatujak market, nearby the art stalls. This stall is quite well hidden. Only targeting local, not tourist.
Try it if you dare. Won't regret it.










Superb Thai cuisine @ Sukhumvit 26












Coconut soup @ Sukhumvit 26














Green Curry












Squid with garlic and chilis












"Yau Char Guai" Thai style. Smaller, better than KL















Cool coffee @ airport

Made In Thailand

Had my honeymoon trip in Bangkok. A very enjoyable trip. Ate tons of food from morning till nite. The street food is cheap, but not the shopping stuff. Feel very safe walking on the street, with so many food around. The airport is marvelous. And one cool thing observed, 99% of the cab using Toyota Altis, whereas Toyota and Honda made up of 95% of car on the street...go Japanese go....






Thai school kids wore yellow uniforms. Many of the working people and students will wear yellow on every Monday (Monday-Wednesday this month, due to the King's birthday) to pay respect to the King.
What's the point of forcing people to fly flag on national day, when Thai people do this willingly everyweek...






























Thai silk shop @ Silom















Cool monk...















Street bar @ Sukhumvit






























Thai massage at reasonable price















They came here too!!!!

Street in Sukhumvit. Feel like I'm in Tokyo.




















Tuk Tuk.
Beware of the tuk tuk scam. They will offer a very cheap price, but you will need to follow them to all those tourist targeting bazaar.
