Highlight - Bangkok

Highlight Bangkok

Bangkok  is the capital of Thailand and, with a population of over eleven million inhabitants, by far its largest city. Its high-rise buildings, heavy traffic congestion, intense heat and naughty nightlife do not immediately give you a warm welcome — but don't let your first impression mislead you. It is one of Asia's most cosmopolitan cities with magnificent temples and palaces, authentic canals, busy markets and a vibrant nightlife that has something for everyone.

For years, it was only a small trading post at the banks of the Chao Phraya River, until King Rama I, the first monarch of the present Chakri dynasty, turned it into the capital of Siam in 1782, after the burning of Ayutthaya by Burmese invaders. Since then, Bangkok has turned into a national treasure house and functions as Thailand's spiritual, cultural, political, commercial, educational and diplomatic centre.

Aku cuma ada solid 24 jam di Bangkok. So aku kena abiskan masa yang ada dengan segigih gigihnya dan pegi ke tempat yang aku nak pegi.

Mari tengok hasilnya.

Suvarnabhumi Airport (sebutan dia, Suvarnha-bhum... i tak bunyi)

Dan macam biasa, kat airport aku ralit kat duty free shop sampai ada pengumuman.

"Attention to Mr Supermeng. Mr Supermeng. Passenger of flight Thai Air Asia bound for Kuala Lumpur. Please proceed to gate E 10 for immediate boarding."

Lepas tu semua orang menyaksikan Kung Fu Panda berlari larian tak tentu arah.

Jauh pulak tu gate E 10 !

Hoyeh ! Hoyeh !
