Thai trip 8-10 Apr

Before the trip:


Ah zac on car on his way to his prison, erm i mean, some dog hotel (as wat they claim thou it doesnt look that comfy 4 dogs lor!) @ pasir ris for the wkend while we went off..


Rejected zac looking out of the car window.


Here it is. "The Pet Hotel" a.k.a dog prison.


Looks so gd outside huh. Let's see wat abt the interior!


S.H.I.T.T.Y!! It's stinky, dark & eerie inside.

Between 2 rows of dogs being kept inside cages was the corridor in which we had to walk. Unfortunately, zac's cage was at the far end of the corridor so we had to pass by ALL these dogs.
& i literally had to drag zac along coz he was sooooo scared!! (legs weak sia) Coz those dogs' barking were just so DEAFENING!!!

To add on to the scary part, these dogs would get all excited & started to jumped frantically when we (or ANY humans) past by them, banging & biting the cages like mad dogs!! It was rather terrifying & intimidating. Even i was scared, let alone my 1yr 3mths zac. Poor baobei (once again) having to endure all these.


Finally reached his cage. The space was so awfully small lor as shown in the foto. Other than this blue mat zac was standing on, the remaining space was a small stretch of pathway behind him (also can be seen from here). THAT's all.

I was rather worried. U mean he has to be confined in this place for 3days???
Sadly, that's the truth. & i know how much he hated being confined to a limited space (or ALL dogs hate it actually).

For info, due to his size, my hse's nvr a big enuf playground 4 him. Thus we'd to bring him down almost 4 times a day! Roughly 8am, 12pm, 6pm & 12am. (mum & i'll rotate depending on who's free)

Really pampered rite?? Thus i cant imagine a spoilt child like him can be able to stay in this horrendous place for 3 days.. He'll go crazy!!
*Secret: Mum's so worried 4 him she actually teared when we left. (haiz)*


Zac's closest neighbour (diagonally opposite cage).

Honestly i almost FELL when this BEAST jumped up onto the cage when we past by him. He's VERY VERY huge! (abt my height when he jumped up)

Twice as big (& fat) than zac.. & plus his barking.. He's one kong bu fella!!

Thank God for the cage man..


This is even worse. 2 large breed dogs in a cage (thou they'll have company la)
I pity them..

==================================================================
Ok enuf said abt zac.

BK trip wasnt as gd as i thought it wld be.

The horrible weather (38 degree celcius!!) + the 2guys led to less shopping 4 mum & i. I wasnt v keen myself either to be honest. Was so distracted by the hotness that i juz felt like calling it a day when we went to places w no air-con.

& i realized thru this trip there wasnt much stuffs to shop for le. All had been ran thru by me & the grls during the last BK trip. Thus it was really BORING. BK can go only once MAX twice lah.

Yea sure things there are cheap. But not all thou. Those cheaper stuffs most are of lousier quality (or some unnecessary local gds & sovernirs) & we can actually get some of them in S'pore, prob a few bucks more ex that's all. Not worth it.

Another thing - Chatukchap's traffic was alreadi horrible le. & plus it's during this period of time --> april, which i heard in another few days time, it'll rise up to 43 degree celcius!! & they will be having their Puo Shui Jie a.k.a pour water festival (??) No wonder lor. So hot..

With the temperature, we cant wait to leave tt place asap. Was rather guilty to intro my family to that place.

Anyway tis time I set my eyes more on gds @ those big dept stores (Big C!), which fell around the same px as in S'pore. Haiz so ultimately no point rite??

However, our family did kinda bonded closer aft this trip. Heez so the trip's still gd lah. =)

============================================================
Getting on to the pics...

Bro & i taking our last shot @ home before we left.
Different versions of acting cute.. haha


Sparrows kept in a cage outside temple.

Didnt notice this outside the famous 4-faced buddha (4 ppl to "ji de" by releasing them) when i came last time. Yeap so i noticed now.

& from this, i told my bro abt one of the stories abt how & why Jesus was so angry regarding the selling of sparrows in the past. *wink*


Mum & the buddha.
Well, i can consider it as an art piece................... =P


This is so cute rite!!! Ronald~ Didnt notice it before too.. haha.
No wonder they said thailand's a religious country.
Mac arh.. Wo Fu Le Ni.....!!


Mum & i at some famous river (cant rem name).

Our package included a half-day tour to several distinct locations in BK so this's one of it. Quite a number of temples along the stretch. Locals are not allowed to fish there coz they believed those fishes are sacred over there. (??)


On board. (Spot me?? my hair?) I was splashed several times lor. Damn it.
By the same "sacred" water locals did "business" in!!!! *Ironic & yucky!*


Another art piece.. This temple's rather popular. Both with locals & tourists.

Mum claimed even the ang mos (she alwiz had this mentality ALL ang mos (or look alike) are christians)came & took pics of it but i dun even bother to look more.. =P

Fine. I shld show more appreciation to these art pieces in future........ haiz.


Lunch @ seafood restaurant near hotel..
Yeah thai's tom yam was still as good~ I loved their "Dong Fen" w eggs too!! & prawns!!


Outside Isetan. After some shopping at Big C.


Big C, my favourite among all.. =)


The results of my retail theraphy. Abt 1/4 of wat i bought last time. haha.


Cant resist to take a pic of this cute little fruity pack here! It's actually one of thai's desert. Made up of green paste actually (tau sa). Rather yummy, prob coz i like tau sa la..

Oh here it is. FEAR factor thai.

Stupid fe insisted on buying back the MAGGOTS + GRASSHOPPERS we saw on the streets & dared me to eat it w him.................. Hao! Shui pa shui!!

Dad took a few shots of us eating....


We chewed..... (Apparently fe was enjoying it)
Me? wait arh... Still "devouring" it..


Haha conclusion: IT SUX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PUI!!!


Bro, mum & i. *Busy packing*

"Eh this one give so & so.. that one.."


Chao fat ahlian on bus to airport.

& last of all.. Heavenly clouds on our way home~~~








Last pic.

Poor baobei.. He suffered while we enjoyed ourselves outside. Anyway can imagine how excited & happy when we fetched him back on sunday night. =)

& he slept thru the WHOLE of the night & half of the next day. Haha guess he didnt slept much over there w all those barking ard.

This spot on the sofa is his fav btw.

*haiz* Juz watching him cuddled up & slept thru was enuf for me to love him even more.. Baobei!!! =)

~The End of my trip~
