7D7N Khao Yai | Bangkok - Lok Yun, Khao Kha Moo trok Sung, Bounce, Rung Rueang Pork Noodles and Thipsamai

 

7am: Rise and shine, our first morning in Bangkok city!

8am: Breakfast at Lok Yun, we took a taxi there.

With a history of more than 80 years, people visit for their Thai Style American breakfast with items of Bread with Butter and Sugar, French toast, and Egg Custard Bread with Kaya.

If you ask me, I love their soft bread and "ya-kun" style coffee.

They served ice water to our kids and hot tea for the adults. Super nice service.

Above: Easy breakfast menu in English, just point and order! The boys in matching Mickey Mouse tees from Uniqlo.

10am: Managed to get a taxi back to Pratunum market, dropped the boys back at the hotel as they both wanted to watch television. Jade, hubs and I went shopping. Bought a pair of "crocs" for Jade.

1pm: Lunch at Khao Kha Moo trok Sung (pork trotter rice). 

This was so good and "chinese" style. After eating a few days of thai food, you will start to miss Singapore Chinese food. We ordered their soup - pickle bitter gourd soup, intestines, port trotter and beancurd.

After lunch, we head to EmQuartier, brought the kids to Bounce to let some energy out! Took the train there. Super convenient. We bought the 2 hour play tickets. 

3pm - 5pm: BOUNCE!

After the kids' Bounce, we made our way to Rung Rueang Pork noodles (Michelin Bib Gourmand) to eat their Tom Yum Pork Noodles. There are 2 stalls side by side, manned by different brothers. They both taste almost the same.

7pm: Was suppose to eat at Jay Fai but it was closed for 3 days!!! Boohoo...so just a few steps down the street, we ate at Thipsamai (Michelin Bib Gourmand). Thipsamai is famous for their Pad Thai.

Grabbing a taxi back to the hotel was so difficult during peak hours, no taxi wanted to bring us back to the Pratunam area. In the end, we travelled like a local  -tuk tuk! And it was one of the fun things to do with the kids. They all enjoyed the ride.

Back in our hotel room, after watching telly for awhile, Hubs decided to go downstairs convenience store to get us some beer. Hubs got caught in the rain while getting our supper, so it took him almost an hour to come back. But the cart food was super yummy! Thanks hubby!

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.
