Arrived the airport at 1pm. Taxi 'premium' service in front of arrival hall wanted to charge me THB 500 (usd 17) to go to my hotel which is 5km away. That's a lot, and the counter service asked me :"is it ok?" I said:" noooo..." And he said with no face expression:" pls proceed to gate 8..."
When i reached gate 8, there are 4 lines of long queues for taxi. Queue was 5 minutes, to go to my hotel was 15 minutes because of Bangkok's usual traffic jam. And it costed me THB 160! ONLY! By meter. Totally worth it!
After checked in, went for quick lunch at Preggo for a salad. And went to exhibition hall for set-up.
Then back to hotel shower cause it was so humid that made me sweat like a ... Not pig but ... More like after under a stormy rain..
Then flew few emails off, went to Central shopping mall 3 km away from hotel. I didnt managed to find something that i like..
So i asked 3 different locals at different time:" is there any other shopping mall nearby here?"
Local1:"ahhh... Home mall!"
Me:"ah yeah? Where?"
Local 1:" 2nd floor"
Me:"ohhhh.. Okayyy.. Thanks..."
Local 2:" ahhh.. Ahhhhh.. Wait a momen piece.." (On the phone, piliao pong pang mat chai sopping mol mi liauuu?! Mai? Ping tong tang ka?[i just made that up])"oh sowiee i dunno.."
Me:"oh ok no problem thanks anyway"
Local 3:" what u wan to buy?"
Me:"clothes? Shoes?"
Local4"oi!!" (Called the husband)
Local4 husband came:"foh .. Foh.. (4th floor)"
Me:"oh.. Okay.. Thank u.."
Pffff... I gave up.. I just stayed in the same shopping mall and ended up in supermarket to shop for food and snacks.
