Wake up at 9.00 great breakfast then back to the room to sleep a bit more. Today is a shopping day! We check out at 13.00, we leave all the luggages at the hotel and we ask at the reception where is the best place for shopping nearby there. They advice us to go to a big shopping mall: MBK. By taxi it takes 10 minutes and the price is quite cheap 60 Baths (1.50 euro). This shopping mall has 7 huge floors. If you compare the price with Europe everything the same items can cost also 70-80% less but everywhere it’s required to deal the price in advance. At 15.00 we are hungry so we go to a particular restaurant called The Fifth Food Restaurant. At the entrance they give us a card that will be used to calculate how much money you will spend. Inside there are several different desks offering food of any kind. With few euros we buy a huge and good lunch.
After that we are ready to go back to shopping but we really have too many bags so we need to leave them in a proper location… we find at the last floor a place where we can do that… and for the first 4 hours the service is free…
We go on shopping until 19.20 when it’s time to go back to the hotel so we take another taxi. It should take 10 minutes to go back to the hotel to take our luggages and then other 45 minutes taxi to the airport… but we have underestimate something… the traffic of Bangkok…
It takes almost one hour to arrive to the hotel but luckly we are not too much in late. Few minutes to fill our luggages with all the stuff we bought and then we take another taxi. On the way we pass again 2 different tollgates. This time I see how much the driver is paying from a display located next to the traffic light that give you the access to the highway.
Once we are at the airport we are charged for a total amount of 325 Baths. Check in at the airport and normal security formalities, then we finally get on the plane. Here they serve us our dinner, and finally we try to sleep… but is not that easy… few hours later it’s already breakfast time and then… we just need to wait to arrive to Amsterdam!
