We had a hugh feast on our first night, too hungry, queued for too long so we ordered so much food!

The price is cheap and affordable, food is clean except the service is so-so...we ordered some drinks and they only served us when we reminded the waitress the second time.

Next day, I followed my sister to do some charity to the poor people whilst in Bangkok. We came to this Chinese temple (義德堂) tucked by the side of Wat Hua Lamphong, you can donate coffin for the burial of the destitute deceased. The cost of a full burial is approximately 500 baht per person. You may also donate on behalf of your family or donate any amount more than that at your own wish.

WAT HUA LAMPHONG

Address : Rama IV Road, Pathum Wan

Getting there : Take MRT to Hua Lamphong Station

Opening Hours : 24 hrs

Entrance Fee : Free

I didn't take any pictures, I got these from another blogger by the name of Darren.

Some of the write-up and information here came from him too!

Your donation pays for a coffin and burial ceremony for the poor whose families can’t afford the cost of death rites or for those unclaimed bodies from accidents or illnesses. I was told by a friend that the temple used to put up photos of the deceased on a board so you know who you’re helping but that practice has since been stopped due to controversy. Coffin donation is considered a form of merit-making for the Thais. There’s an administrative area that handles your donation and you’ll be given two slips of paper – pink and white. The pink slip you’ll stick to a wooden coffin and the white slip you’re to burn at an altar where the deities are. It takes less than 15 minutes to make a donation and after that, you can visit Wat Hua Lamphong. The wat is very prominent in downtown Bangkok and all the locals know it. It’s almost impossible to get lost getting to Wat Hua Lamphong (less than 10 minutes by cab from Silom) but remember that the donation place is along the side of the wat’s compound.

Bangkok as usual, you will see many food stalls along the road side.... we bought the corns from one of the stall and it was refreshing and crunchy... there two kinds, the original and the butter... Nice!

 

We had our early dinner at MBK food court... I should have take a picture of my first dish which I didn't even touch or eat due to the foul smell of the 'bamboo stick'. I ordered the wrong food and I can't take the smell at all! In the end, I ordered a fried rice with a drumstick. (the safest choice)

 I enjoyed my dinner at the airport on our returned date. We had our meal at Lee and I love their Thai food so much that I finished all my rice, chicken and soup. A fulfilling meal at the end of my trip...
I feel contented~ 

Now come to my shopping spree! I went to Siam Square and I got myself a very good bargain. All the above, each item only costs 20 bahts...Unbelievable! Its not even one SGD dollar....sooooo cheap... bought a pair of shoes too... *evil smile... I know I have way too many pairs of shoes but what to do, I can't resist the temptation~  

I like this orange-brown color belt, with the gold chain around it...I never had such belt and wanted to buy it long time ago. It match perfectly with any dress or long chiffon top.... I also bought a super baggy long pant that looks like a skirt, with polka dots. I still don't know how to match it but I'm sure I will find one soon. The black is very norm but I like flurry craps in front, so I bought it and it only costs 200 bahts. *hee 

Last but not least, I like to bring up a serious issue here which I strongly hope the Tourism of Thailand or any person-in-charge should look into is the 'baggage issue'. My sister and her group of friends took Tiger Airways to Bangkok, found their luggage's ransacked by someone after they opened up in their hotel room. They were shocked and upset when they saw their things in a mess and most importantly, some of their items went missing. I don't think it is right of the ground handling agent to open the luggage without the presence of the owner. I mean, who to held responsible for any valuable item that went missing or lost or damaged during this procedure? Who do we approach on such cases and who will be liable for the compensation? This incident has badly reflected an ugly side of Thailand.
