It has been a long time since I last travelled with my family. Ever since I was pregnant with my first born, Charis, I am reluctant to travel. The thoughts of dragging the bags full of diapers and milk powder and 2 rascals running about with me chasing after them totally shut me down. Now they are older at 6YO and 4YO, I am much prepared to bring them overseas. This trip is rather a last minute trip, no much planning to be done. We are going to Bangkok for a start!!! This makes me feel great! Finally I made my first move.
Since it is a last minute trip, I have a hard time getting the flight. Budget airline is out as I am bringing my parents along and with PH around the corner, most flights with good timing are full. Lucky I did managed to find one through Zuji.com.sg though the arrival date is early by 1 day. It makes our trip longer by 1 day to 5D4N. I am not complaining. :)
The kids are very excited when they heard of the trip. Charis is counting down to the day everyday. I can feel her excitement. Gregory is extremely obedience in case we travel without him.
Finally the day has come! 1st Oct 2014 ~~~
Off we go!
Day 2 to Hello Kitty Café and Siam Shopping
Lucky we went early. There is no queue but when we stepped out of the café, there was a long queue
Look yummy!
Day 3 to Erawan Shrine to pray.
Taking tutu ride at only 20 baht, the kids love it
After praying, we went a cab to Chinatown. The ride cost us about 200 Baht
The restaurant that we had our lunch. Yummy shark fins!
Day 4 to Chatuchuk Market
We took a 7 seater cab to Chatuchak market which cost us 300Baht (about SGD 11). Everything is so much chearper here. The clothes sell so much cheaper than what my dad bought at MBK. Similar design and material. No coconut ice-cream which they waited for, as we try a dessert which is nice. Grass jelly & brown sugar with ICE. it taste very nice.
After the market, we went back to Siam square for our late lunch. We settled our lunch at SomBoon Seafood, which it is good though it is not the favourite Somboon Seafood restaurant that bloggers recommended. Good enough to satisfy us and gentle to our pocket too :)

Bought toys for the kids before we call it a day
Day 5 back to Home Sweet Home
The trip is better than I expected. We had a good start when we met Thomas Ong and Wang Biren in the plane. They were just sitting 2 rows behind us.
We survived the long shopping with 2 kids. They got tired easily and we had to take turn to carry them, but they did enjoy shopping for their clothes and toys.
It will be better if our taxi is not involved in the car accident which scared us badly. Lucky we are not hurt. Xie tian xie de
