Night 1 – Suan Lum Night Market and a nice foot massage to end the day
With the night still young, we quickly unpacked and made way to explore the surroundings. We walked a little and unfortunately, we headed towards First Hotel instead of Pratunam side and missed out a nice night bazaar going on. We took a cab from First Hotel to Suan Lum night market after checking that was probably the closest we could reach since it was 10pm already. The cab took 100 baht since I thought not going by meter was ok.. I was wrong
Seeing as Jetstar doesn’t provide in-flight meals, we had a quick bite at Suan Lum since we were all feeling a little hungry. Unfortunately, we missed out the huge food area and settled for duck meat platter with fried noodles near the beer garden. Quite a horrible place with mosquitoes and cockroaches running rampant. After a quick tour at Suan Lum Night Market where we roamed the various small alleys but didn’t really purchase anything.
We decided to call it a night and took a cab by meter this time for 75 baht after fending off the usual guys who wanted to give us a better deal.
I had seen the Traditional Thai Massage shop just outside our apartment and decided to have a quick 1 hr foot massage for 2 (400 baht + 100 tips). Felt incredible after a long day and kinda felt sorry for the staff who had been working since 10am that morning.
