Bangkok!




Finally, arrived Bangkok safely on last Saturday, 4th of January. But I'm still stuck in hotel for 3 days.
I haven't made any decision for which apartment to take yet as I wanna ensure that the apartment that I've seen in website matches the real one.


*Walked the whole day, my toe nail broke.*

Spent the whole noon looking for the apartment based on the appointment without any lunch and got only dinner at around 8++pm. The agent later then said 4 months might be not possible to be rented. Enric and I got quite disappointed as I forgot to told the agent in advanced regarding this matter.

We stayed for another night, couldn't move in on Sunday, so we added extra night which cost only RM80 per night and not really far from MRT.

The MRT here is quite expensive. From MRT Suttisan to MRT Sukhumvit cost me 40 baht. Walao-wehh....

The next day, agent called regarding @ City Home is allowed to rent for 4 months. Thanks to the agent!

So me and Enric decided to stay nearby BTS and took the apartment which cost us 10,000 baht per month. Yes, very expensive but we don't have any choice. Anyway, we decided to save money so I came across of buying seasonal pass for BTS/MRT. I believe this is applicable anywhere as I had it in Malaysia and Enric had it in France.


Introduce you, rabbit card. I have not discover this card yet but I have seen a machine with this rabbit card can purchase many things like McDonald. I don't know how because it's in Thai. LOL

Beside the rabbit card, I have Tesco Lotus card to buy meal. They don't take cash. LOL yes, you can keep :) and redeem the balance back.

However, back to rabbit card. I bought 50 trips for 800 baht, I saved a lot but after BTS On Nut to bearing, I have to pay additional 10 baht due to private station. LOL I still save some though.

I had a hectic day. I wasn't aware about my ATM card that I have to activate before I travel outbound so I could withdraw my money. WTF anyway, it was settled. I need to contact my bank to do it. Luckily it wasn't that serious that I had to travel back Malaysia for it.

If you're unaware, go activate you ATM card before traveling outbound. If you're already outbound, contact them directly. Hope it helps. Voila!

This Sunday is going to be my off day, I'm going to swim, wet market, mini shopping outside my apartment, clean the house. :D

I'm not sure if I'm working on Monday as it's a massive shutdown in Bangkok. Big possibility the MRT and BTS might shut down too. :( hope I will be off on that day too. So I can enjoy more!

Anyway, I have to stop now. Been feeling up and down, homesick, ATM problem, gastric for 3 days.
It's killing me. Goodnight people.
