BKK Day 3 │ Lido Connect • Night Stroll!

Off to Lido Connect

By 12:30 PM, we were done with ICONSIAM in every sense of the word so we hailed a metered taxi to Lido Connect. The 45-minute ride cost THB160 (≈ MYR21 / USD5 / EUR4).

We browsed a bit before settling at Toomsushi Siam Lido for a late lunch:

• Chicken Karaage Curry Rice
• Tom Yum Ramen
• Saba Donburi
• 2 Iced Green Tea + 1 Iced Lemon Tea

Total: THB564 (≈ MYR73 / USD18 / EUR15)

Brendan later scored two t-shirts and a pair of jeans for THB2,130 (≈ MYR274/USD68/EUR58) at Everything Good.

Heading Home

We caught the 40 (4-39) EV bus back to Sukhumvit 42 for the same fare of THB20 (≈ MYR3/USD0.60 / EUR0.50) each. Bangkok’s infamous rush hour meant crawling a kilometer every 10 minutes, but we eventually made it back to Tierra Residences by 5:30 PM.

Evening Plans

After a quick shower and change of clothes, we headed to Aurora Massage for an hour-long session at 7:00 PM. Thai massage is often described as a deeply relaxing and rejuvenating experience that combines physical and mental benefits. We can attest to that!

As always hunger struck after a rigorous massage. We wanted to venture out of our comfort zone so instead of the usual PTT station at Rama 4 Road, we walked out onto Sukhumvit 40 headed north and finally tried the Fish Ball stall we've been eyeing [ลูกชิ้นปลาบรรทัดทอง ที่1 จส.100 สาขาสุขุมวิท40]. Here’s what we ordered:

• Fish Ball Noodles
• Fish Noodles with Fish Balls
• Fish Ball Noodles with Tom Yum
• Fried Fish Sticks
• Fried Dumplings
• 2 Chrysanthemum Tea + 1 Pepsi
• 8 small cups of local ice cream

Total: THB879 (≈ MYR114 / USD28 / EUR24)

We wrapped up the night with a short walk back to Tierra Residences while Brendan explored Ekkamai.

Stay tuned for our next post: a laid-back Saturday at home before heading to Chatuchak in the evening!
