7D7N Khao Yai & Bangkok - Central World, Thong Smith Boat Noodes and After You Dessert

 

On route from Khao Yai to Bangkok, we dropped by the Siam Premium Outlet mall where I bought some sports wear from Under Armour and Adidas. There are other stores which are opened like Kate Spade, Nike, Michael Kors etc. No worries...Bangkok is fully opened. It is back to pre-covid times.

The weather was so hot, we took a break at ChaTraMue, the milk tea is so cheap!!

Lunch was at KFC, but there are other dining options like Ajisen Ramen, some hongkong noodle shop etc. Not a wide variety, but there are some limited choices to fill your tummies. After our shopping, we returned back our car at the airport.

3pm: Jade fell asleep in the taxi while making our way to our hotel in Bangkok. 

4pm: Checked into Novotel Pratunam. OMG, they no longer connect to Platinum mall!!! Unpacked, rested our feet.

5pm: started to head over to Central World for dinner.

7pm: Dinner at Thong Smith Boat Noodles.

8pm: After You Dessert. I ordered iced coffee for myself, chocolate lava cake and honey strawberry toast for the kids.

The boys are wearing matching tee shirts from Uniqlo. 

Super comfy, easy wear for Bangkok's weather.

After dinner, dessert and walking around Central World, it is time to head to Big C supermarket for some grocery shopping! We bought many different types of squid/sotong snacks, Mama instant noodles (tom yum and mince pork noodles flavour), polky sticks, crackers and drinks.

7D7N Khao Yai & Bangkok - Lunch at Mother Say No | Pete's Maze | Yellow Submarine Coffee Tank

Next Stop: Pete's Maze (Fun for Kids)

Admission ticket here is a little expensive - 150 pax regardless of age.

The funniest part here is that after we reached here, there were 2 other families who joined in the maze and the father was telling his sons, not to be naughty and to wander off by themselves. But to me, this was the best time for me to get away from my children!!! hahaha...me and hubs had some quiet time walking in the maze by ourselves and getting lost. And my 3 children, especially Jules found his way around the maze pretty well!!!

Above: Ah, the kids found me and hubs... well, actually Jules told hubs to raise his hand and to try to find us...

8pm: Mookata (Thai BBQ) dinner set under the Stars. Each set is 1200 baht. 

We had a wonderful family time, cooking the food ourselves, chit-chat under the stars. The weather was quite cooling in the evening that went into the night,

And they even serve us insect repellant spray, so not to worry about the bugs.

me and my boys.
