I’ve never been to Bangkok. So when Rosie asked me if I wanted to join her and N this June to go see this city of angels, I said YES!!!!
J couldn’t make it, so not wanting to be a third wheel to Rosie’s romantic Thailand getaway, I needed a travel buddy, and I needed one quick.
So I asked Eric. (He’s the only one I know who wasn’t either planning a wedding, about to give birth, or who just blew a small fortune on a couple of lv’s and a luxury watch, or who was saving up leave and money for a holiday later in the year. AND, the fact that I absolutely LOVE traveling with the big guy helps too. HEAPS!!!)
And in 3 minutes, he said “Ok. The dates look good. The prices even better. LET’S GO!!!!!"
And then……….. the gushing started…..
Eric :
“Ooooh and we can go visit my uncle there!" *gush gush*
(interspersed with giggles [and this is on messenger mind you]
*gush*
While he was giving me some details of his uncle’s latest squeeze, I booked the tickets.
Eric :
"...He’s so cute…. (something about licking….)"
Me :
"You wanna eat on the flight?"
Eric :
*pause*
(I could almost hear those gears changing…. His mind was obviously in another land, where he need not necessarily be eating.. you know.. food)
"Up to you lah!"
"Oh! And imagine all those bars we have to hit….. and the shopping"
*continues to gush*
Me :
"I’m getting us travel insurance also ok."
Eric :
"… all that eye candy, And did I mention the abs on them?"
*blink*
"Oh… okay"
Me :
"AARRRRGGGHHH!!!!! *&^@%#$@%^& website HUNG ON ME!!!!"
Eric :
"… back to those abs…… so pretty!!!!!"
3 attempts later, we had tickets and travel insurance and extra check in luggage ;) Rosie and N booked us the accommodation and all in all, it’s costing us RM630 nett each for all that :D
I foresee a fun filled food and shopping experience! Chatuchak! Platinum mall! Lots of trinkets I’ll probably NEVER use, lot’s of Chang beer, Sam Song and Thailand’s very own Mekhong (Spirit of Thailand), technically fruit juice (so no calories!)… well, they DO start off with sugar cane….. and rice… and….. *my turn to gush*…
