Svarnabhumi Airport Bangkok

What so important regarding an airport that made me want to share it in my blog.. Well, it's my first time visiting Bangkok, and am really impressed with the Svarnabhumi Airport. Let's have a look...

This is the departure gate

And this is the arrival hall...., as you may see the arrival hall located in the basement, while the departure is far away upstairs.

Still it has the Thai touch inside the report

The shopping area...really convenient

In Feb'10, I got the opportunity to go abroad with my office. We went to Bangkok and Hongkong for 4 days..two cities I have never visited before. And this is my first journey using a tour organized by travel agent. We use one of the best tour which is Panorama tour. Nothings wrong with the tour, but I would rather choose go travelling by myself. Despite that we have to take public transportation, find resto to eat, search hotel to stay..still, it's better.

Arriving at Svarnabhumi airport at 4 pm, we directly visited a jewlerry factory. Really useless, because all was very expensive. Then we had dinner at Royal Dragon Restaurant, a huge restaurant which can serve 5,000 people at one time (well, it is what stated on the Guiness Book of Record certificate hung in the resto).

The food was great, they gave us a fresh seafood platter and also a real Thai Tom Yam soup..

Then we went to Suan Lum Night Bazaar, the place for tourist to hang out at the cafes and also to shop souvenirs with a bargain price.

Suan means "park" while Lum most likely derrives from the word "Lumphini" which is the name of the area where the night bazaar is located. I am impressed with the cleanliness of this bazaar, and how all the shop are well organized. The price considered cheap, but you have to bargain up to 50% of the price. Sometimes the seller gets mad, but no worries, they will speak Thai which we don't understand. Just go to the next shop and start bargain again.

When hungry, they also have an open space food stall for you to take supper or just a cup of coffee.

Next time you visit Bangkok, make sure to put Suan Lum Night Bazzar in your itinerary!

Halal Food in Kuta: Kebab Palace

Having difficulty to find halal food in Bali? Try this place and you'll love it.

We heard about this place from Tony, that made us put it on our Bali's itinerary. The place is quiet small, but located in the heart of Kuta square where any kind of food is available. You name it: Japanese, Korean, Indians, and now Kebab.

The main course ranging from Rp 30.000. You may find Sandwich, Sulvaki, Kebab and Pilav Ustu (kind of rice served with chicken or beef). While for the drinks it varies from mineral water, juice to wine. All with reasonable price, for example we pay Rp 7,000 for a 600ml of Aqua.

I ordered chicken donner kebab for Rp 30.000 and was very delicious *despite it contains too many onion* Rene ordered chicken Pilav Ustu for Rp 23.000 also vey delicious.
