Day 3 :
We went to the main attraction in Bangkok - The emerald buddha temple(Wat Phra Kaew) and Grand Palace. Besides, also went to Wat Po (reclining Buddha) and Wat Arun (Temple of the dawn).

The Emerald Buddha Temple (Wat Phra Kaew) and Grand Palace are the one of the main attarction in Bagkok. Entrance fee is 250 Baht per person and including the entrace for these two place and also Vimanmek Mansion and Anantasamakhom Throne Hall which I think is quite worth it.

My Bangkok Trip - Day 2/8

Day 2 :

Bring the kids to Safari world and Marine world. Seems like a lot of show are under construction. 3 of the show Multi Animal show, Orang Utan Boxing show, bird show were closed due to construction. Only managed to watch the Sealion show, Dolphin and white whale show, Polar Bear feeding. For two other show Western cowboy stunt show and Spy War show, it's not meant for child below 4 years, so we have to skip those shows as well.
Overall, it's a nice experince although I think this is same as what they have in the A Famosa in Alor Gajah, Melaka. The most interesting one should be the dophin and white whale show which they claim that Thailand is the only two place you can see the white whale show besides Japan. The kids were enjoying themselves. Lunch is reasonable price.
At nite, I took the bus to Suan Lum Night Bazaar which is quite near from our hotel.

Seaside on Labour Day Holiday

Ah Kai like the beach very much since our last trip. He like to play with sand.
We purposely bought a brand new beach sets for the kids the day before.
But it is very hot and there's not much breeze/wind.
Ah Kai seems like enjoy it very much. Ah Jie even "bath" with sand.
