This is going to be my first part of my Bangkok trip last Christmas. Did not take that many pics this time around because too busy shopping.

ONLY IN BANGKOK...

1) ...will you find fried maggots, grasshoppers, worms and cockroaches.

...and two crazy travellers willing to try them!

A little salty but the taste is quite alright:)

2) ...a very Thai Ronald McDonalds...Sa-wa-dee-kap!

3) ...a huge elephant in front of a shopping mall!

4) ...a PORK burger in McD's!

...and not forgetting the simply orgasmic cheesy french fries!

5) ...absurd gimmicks in clothing shops! (seriously, what a waste of cloth)

BAIYOKE BOUTIQUE HOTEL, BANGKOK

This is the name of the hotel we stayed in for our 2nd and 3rd night in Bangkok. The hotel is situated behind Baiyoke Sky, a quite secluded place but the interior of the hotel is so interesting, I could not resist taking snapshots of it;)

Me like all the sparkling white interior in lobby

The clock above the reception area...I like it a lot!

One thing this hotel is never in shortage of: paintings...be it classical, abstract, modern, etc. (but some questionable, as shown by the photo top left)

Each floor has a different set of wallpaper...this one is my favourite, lots of roses lining the hallway

Even the exterior of the lift on every floor is different

But the funniest and wackiest thing about this hotel is definitely...THE TOILET DOORS!
(took me a while just to figure which one is which one)

Did you get it right?

Very good traveling blog. My question is how do feel when you eat the fried insect? Is it work?
