Continue to my previous story of my stay in Bangkok

It was the only day that no one went shopping. In the mornings, we went to Safari Park, and after that we went to this really nice hotel that also has a restaurant named Chocolate Ville. It's an outdoor restaurant, and they truly had put effort into building every single attraction. From buildings to the river. Buildings are made for attractions, although some can be dined in. They make it like buildings from the old times. The post office is an example. There's also a man-made river, that runs along most of the dining tables. They had ducks in it too. It was just an extra attraction. Nothing fascinating about it. The food was extremely costly. I could easily understand why, just looking at my surroundings.

The food was extremely appetizing and nice. The presentation was also magnificent. It was a very wonderful place. It was near Christmas, and it had so many extra lighting and decorations there. Santa Clause was having dinner there too! It was definitely a memorable place. After our dinner, we went straight back to the hotel, and went to bed. It was the only day, that no shopping was made.

Below are things that we did, but not sure how to fit into my blog.

We had a buffet dinner at the highest building in Thailand. Biokesky. Costed roughly 100 bucks per person. The diner was at one of the highest place of the building, having a panoramic view of Bangkok city. The food was better than usual outside, but not those excellently wonderful type.
It had a wide variety of food to chose from. There was even a clown there to entertain children. Drinks were not complimentary. It had to be bought. They do not serve any local food. Just other cuisines. It was a wonderful dinner.

We had this dinner at this place called Once Upon A Time. Nothing special. just a restaurant. It was different from those shop lots restaurant. It was like home-based kind of thing. Nothing much.

The zoo presented the largest herd of giraffes in the world. 250 of them. First time seeing sea lions, and it was at Safari World. Sea lions are very big. So much bigger than I ever imagined. Like the size of a smaller elephant, but still very very big. The fangs could easily kill any animal in any universe.

SUMMARY:

What I really don't like about Bangkok:

The streets are filled with people.
The main roads are very hard to cross.
The streets have weird smells.
The streets and malls are extremely low class.
The place feels weird to me.
#Don't think it's because of it's low class, because I've been to Vietnam, and I'm very okay with it.
The streets are dirty.
The clothes on streets have like no sense of fashion. (Most of them)

What I really like about Bangkok:

The really nice zoo that makes human in the cage while animals are free
The service they give at almost all business making places.
The hotel I lived in.
The food. (Only some)
The design of clothing of branded clothing.
eg: Nike&Adidas. Better than my country.
The price of candy in 7eleven
Their McDonalds.
#Right Price. Good Quality. Delicious. Attitude of workers.
#So so so so much better than my country's
Any other things that's more expensive than their local average priced products. (Except candies)

CONCLUSION:

Will I ever go to Bangkok again?
Yes, if it's with family, and I have better things to do most of the time.
eg: more tourist attraction things than just street shopping. Bangkok is so big, there should be more interesting things than just Safari World. Right?
No, if I have nothing to do there, like just go walk around.

Is Bangkok a good place?
Yes, if you don't expect too much, and if you're okay with low class things.
No, if you prefer higher class things, like Singapore standard.

Was my trip worth it?
Yes, because of family togetherness. Could have gone somewhere better than Bangkok.

More blog awaits! Stay tuned!
