Bangkok#5 Chinatown & Wat Arun

After another 2hours of tiring and sweaty van ride back from the floating market, we drag ourselves to continue the Bangkok journey. A place familiar to us -->Bangkok Chinatown*** at Yaowarat Road. Rows of shops decorated with red lanterns since it's the chinese new yr festival going on. We saw many gold shops, bag wholesalers, bird nest and shark fin restaurants, food stalls and loads of chinese food. Yea.. It was quite a big town compared to those in Manchester, Singapore and Malaysia maybe :D


Must try the chinese delicacies in Chinatown for sure~ For the sake of trying, yea, we tried the bird nest$$. There are few price range for a bowl of bird nest starting from BHT200. Bird nest is a famous export product in Thailand and for those who don't already know, it is made from the bird's saliva O.o You can have it with honey, half boiled egg and 'pak ko'. Highly nutritious and promising smooth skin :)

Angie: Just what I need :D
Peter: Just eat-lah, don't know whether its real saliva or not pun.

Sunset at Chao Praya river. We took a very loooongg long walk from Chinatown to one of the harbour for the Chao Praya express boat$. We intended to take the beautiful sunset pictures of Wat Arun but too bad, it was way over sunset when we reach the opposite of Wat Arun... How disappointing... >.<
