Bangkok 2022 Day 2

12 Aug Friday

It was Bangkok public holiday! We had breakfast at Roast - I have missed roast so much, their bread is so good. It is currently my favourite brunch place in Bangkok. Then I went to my other main objective - Erawan Shrine, then we walked around Centralworld, got my groceries at Big C. 

Toothbrush, my 10 bars of soap and lotsa snacks, then Thai milk tea, then had blackforest cake at Kempenski Hotel, then walked around the new park in Bangkok. 

I booked 2 nights at the newest hotel in Bangkok - The Standard and never regretted. It was at the Mahanakorn, the landmark building and the hotel just opened for less than 2 weeks. I think I was the first to stay in my room. It was not too shabby.

I also had unlimited access to their rooftop bar and the skywalk, but the weather wasn't so great and there were lotsa people during sunset so we just hung for a while and went for dinner.

Before I went there I told Neab I always wanted to eat at 80/20 and he booked a table for dinner. I've been their documentary on CNA and they used 80% Thai local ingredients and 20% imported. And also they got 1 Michelin star early this year!

This was one of the best meals I've had in Bangkok. Also that multi-layer coconut dessert was the best dessert I've ever had. The food was so so good, except there was one appetizer with some insect I just cannot. We were so full after the whole course. It was totally worth the SGD 155.

Pro tip: Always celebrate something so you get free dessert and the whole restaurant singing Happy Birthday to you LOL. I was super embarrassed.

We still went for drinks after that at the new bar at Four Seasons Hotel.

Also thanks for Neab, we had a welcome drink, a free shot and free champagne because his friend is a bartender there hahaha. It was so lovely and the drinks were so good and much cheaper than Singapore. 

At the end of the day I was so exhausted I didn't even feel like going clubbing lol. I just want to soak in the tub and sleep.
