For a week.
And it’s only Bangkok, Thailand.
So, no need for the ‘ooh’ and ‘aahh’. Not like I am going for a two-month European trip or anything. Now, if I am going to Europe for a two month holiday, then you are allowed to ‘ooh’ and ‘aah’ and turn green with envy.
Like I said, it’s only Bangkok. And we planned this like almost a year ago. Yep. Can you believe it? We booked the flight middle of last year during some zero air fare promotion thingy but ended up paying loads for the stupid surcharge or some other crap.
Ceh.
Of course, I would have preferred going to Melbourne. Or Brisbane. Or London. But we all know, without $$, those places can be relegated to couch-touring through the Travel channel.
Bangkok is not cheap either, mind you. But we will be very, very careful not to overspend. Maybe do loads of window shopping but no actual shopping. And no, it’s not a second honeymoon or anything. The MIL is going and a bunch of our friends are also going.
I am not exactly looking forward to it. I will probably be busy running after my toddler, feeding him, taking him to the toilet a million times a day and trying to get him to sleep and not jump on the nice hotel bed. So, don’t ask me what we saw or visited during the trip. I already know. It will be a blur and only things I could remember will be:
My son demanding to go ‘wee wee’ for the millionth time while traveling from Location A to Location B in a cramped van so we had to stop somewhere for him to ‘wee wee’.
My son asking a trillion questions from ‘what’s that’ to ‘why’ to ‘who’ about everything and anything he fancies.
My son demanding to be carried because ‘my legs are painful’ after walking only 1m.
And many, many more ‘events’ focused on my son.
So, if you asked how’s Bangkok, I will probably say:
‘Tiring. I need a real holiday.’
But don’t worry. If I spot any deep-fried creepy crawlies. I will give them a try and bring back proof!

Have a great holiday Foong! The last time I stepped foot on Bangkok was when I was about 9….too young to remember much of that trip.
Parents holidaying with children need another break to recuperate..haha.
The city of women
The night of Tiger shows
Only for the guys
Some women tagged along too
The life density of Bangkok
I heard about it
Dang I didn’t go to see
I saw the cross dressing shows
Mind you the feminine guys beat the women any time
Only the voices give way……..else I wouldn’t know
I was there donkey years ago
I couldn’t remember much
Only the waving white waves to the shore
As I stood looking out to the sea in Pattaya
Don’t eat those frying crawlies and insects
it isn’t good for the body health
You don’t know how clean it is
Use up oil too many times
It is toxic
Some could get away with it
Others falling ill
There will go the holidays
Holidaying with children
It will become tiring physically drained
Children will ask many eager to absorb new images
Pity the parents spending time with them
Holidaying with the little ones
Seeing things through their eyes
Well…..for the guys
Bangkok ah?
Tiger show, women, bars and songs
The city that never sleeps
As long as one has the ‘farang’
Every service allegedly possible
So walk the streets
Window shopping admiring new things
Absorb it like a new born child
Let it sing into your mind….
I’m curious as to how the deep fried grasshoppers and cockroaches will taste like
Kesian you, have to bring your baby along, but at least your baby had a chance to visit another country. I’ve never been to Thailand before!
JLs last blog post..Some opinions needed
Ya, be prepared to carry your toddler as he will sure complain of tired of walking after awhile. The youngest boy was also still a toddler when we visited Bangkok yeras ago. We actually had a private tailored package for four of us only. So the initery is always tentatively adn flexible to suit the pace of the kids. There was a van+driver adn a tour guide to take us around. Of course it was expensive but the guide was kind enough to help carry my toddler when he is tired of walking. That was rewarded with a handsome tips at the end of the assignment of course! So, a foldable stroller would be handy for you.
Hahaha, holidays with toddlers are not holidays
Enjoy the glorious food though mmm som tam, tom yam, what else?
Everything seemed nice even at the local food court when I visited years ago. I just followed where my drool led me and ordered!

Mei Teng, the way you say “Have a great holiday Foong!” is like saying to me cos I’m Foong too! Seriously, should I change my name or you change yours? Haha!
JL, never been to Thailand? never mind, you still very young! Lots of chances to go – I think you’ll enjoy the Thai girls on the poles. Haha! Though the last time I went there, they were pretty old and fat!! Wasted my money! LOL!
