infrastructure

landed in bangkok today and i was impressed by the airport. feels very industrial. we took a cab to our hotel, i-residence just across the chong nonsi bts station. for $29 a night the hotel is pretty amazing. the room is small but it’s super cozy and homey with a nice bathroom with hot shower, complete toiletries and even a hair dryer (so we can dry our clothes lol). and they have fast internet via an rj45 jack on the wall. what’s most awesome is that 711 is just right there in front of the hotel and the bts station is right across the street. it connects you to the entire city of bangkok, cheap. their rooftop pool is also nice, overlooking the bts station, infinity style. real value for the money.

after a few hours of nap we hit the bts (skytrain) to the siam paragon mall. yeah i hate malls but it wasn’t so excruciating considering it was my first time there and it was priceless to see the expression on vie’s face. i think i love this girl a little much that i can bear shopping malls. hehehh..

i’m most impressed by the bts lines. they also have an mrt line which we haven’t tried yet but overall the city’s infrastructure is probably 100 years ahead of bali. you can get anywhere, anytime until midnight, fast, cheap and safe. and where the bts and mrt don’t take you, there’s always the taxis and the tuk-tuks and the busses.
