BANGKOK Day 7 │ ICON Siam and Beyond Pt2!

Epic Excursion Continues!

We picked you up again leaving ICON Siam and catching the same boat for THB8 each (approximately USD0.20/EUR0.20/MYR1) back to the Bangkok Sathorn Pier.

We disembarked and headed up to the Saphan Taksin station. Unfortunately, we caught the wrong train headed to Bang Wa. We got off at the Wutthakat BTS station then hailed a Grab car for THB173 (approximately USD5/EUR5/MYR23) to Platinum Fashion Mall.

The ride took almost an hour or so and we arrived close to 3:00pm. Cat went in search of three-quarter pants, and eventually got five pants and two blouses for THB1,600 (approximately USD47/EUR44/MYR209). Then Cat walked into the Eve and Boy store to get a bottle of Dr. Pong's Recovery Serum for THB399 (approximately USD12/EUR11/MYR52).

We walked out and to hail a tuk-tuk to the Rachathewi BTS station just a kilometre away but the asking price of THB200 (approximately USD6/EUR5/MYR26) was inhibitive. Then a random tuk-tuk offered THB100 (approximately USD3/EUR3/MYR13) instead. We accepted and hopped on, enjoying our first tuk-tuk ride in a while.

We soon arrived at the Rachathewi BTS station and mistakenly caught the train on the Silom line bound for Bang Wa. Long story short we eventually caught a train on the Sukhumvit line, the correct train bound for Kheha.

Seven stops and twenty minutes later we arrived at the Ekkamai BTS station. After what felt like an eternity we were finally back at Gateway Ekkamai. We headed down to the exit to wait for the free shuttle back to Tierra Residences.

We got back to Tierra Residences and began packing. Later we visited Arokah Massage at the Rama IV PTT station area. We had averaged 10k+ steps a day so our feet was pretty battered and in needed of some TLC:

Cat opted for the foot and shoulder massage
while I asked for just the foot massage

for a combined total of THB750 (approximately USD22/EUR20/MYR98). The massage did wonders to our aching feet subjected to harsh punishment over the week that we were in Bangkok.

We then walked over to our favourite food stall, Pad Thai Kitchen and ordered:

Pad Kra Pow with Minced Pork
Pad Kra Pow with Cuts of Pork
Coca-Cola
Apple Soda

for a modest THB219 (approximately USD7/EUR6/MYR29). We've been coming to Pad Thai Kitchen for dinner almost every night since the first night we arrived, so it was only fitting that we have our dinner here on our last night in Bangkok.

As is always the case we then walked across to the 7-Eleven and got some provisions for THB270.00 (approximately USD8/EUR7/MYR35). Our final pitstop of the night was the local Amazon Coffee where we got a hot Mocha and Iced Milk Green Tea for THB110 (approximately MYR3/USD3/EUR14). We then walked back to Tierra Residences.

Stay tuned as we leave Bangkok on a jet plane bound for Kuala Lumpur!
