Holiday in Bangkok with Family

Bangkok. You may have seen the pictures I’ve posted while I was in Bangkok with my cousins and their family. I left for Bangkok on the 13th June (sadly arrived 14th June) and on Sunday, my sister and my cousin arrived, followed on Monday, my older brother and my other cousin arrived. So practically, it was a full house by that Monday! My parent’s apartment consists of 3 bedrooms including a Master bedroom. So each family had each room, hence I (and my siblings) had to sleep at my parent’s room.

My cousin, who came with my sister, took us out every day! She and her husband are very active to go out. She’s humorous and loves bowling that she wanted to buy a bowling ball but then it was cancelled because the saleslady offered her a good price but once my cousin wanted to collect her ball, they charge additional cost. Bad business!

Almost every day going out with them, we ate at KFC and sometimes Swenson. The only place we went to eat proper meal was at home. My parent’s apartment had never been noisier until they came. I was overwhelmed that there were children to make the apartment cheery as my mum always stayed indoors most of the time when my dad is out for work or golf.

At Bangkok, we went shopping at MBK, Platinum, Sampeng, Sport’s building, street stalls and Sunday Market. I also accompanied to the Zoo (Safari World) and Dream World which was a fun trip for me as I like to go sight-seeing and theme parks! Dream World was the best for me to have fun in Bangkok. We even had time to go bowling.

If you want to find the cheapest prices or wholesale deal that would have to be at Sampeng but it’s a bit crowded and you’d have to be there early as it closes by 4pm-6pm depending on your luck. I bought brooches there and there are even accessories that you could get it cheaper than the ones in Platinum.

Unfortunately, after munching on fruits in Bangkok, I caught a sore throat and had to stay in for a day. Heck, never like that feeling of itchy and aching vibe in the throat. Actually, my sister caught it first, and then my brother and I had it on the same day. I had to go buy Redoxin when I felt the incoming pain.

I stayed in Bangkok till 25th June as my cousins were returning on that date. I was supposed to return to Brunei on the 22nd June but I felt pity for my dad to send me off early and then send my cousins off three days later. So, I agreed to return on the same day as they were returning.

I thought I would dread Bangkok alone but thank god my siblings and my cousins came along to spend the holiday at my parent. If not, I would have stayed indoors and wait for the weekend when my dad has his off days.
