24-08-2025 Bong & His Eleventh Post in 2025 - Fall Trip 2024 Part2/2

At the market,
we found tons of Thai food we wanted to try,
but our stomachs could only handle so much, lol!
Still,
we managed to fill up
on a variety of small finger foods, snacks, and delicious treats
**enough to satisfy our cravings!
Besides food,
there were also thai dancing shows,
play areas for children,
clothes, toys,
and all kinds of other stuff!
The next morning,
we once again walked from our hotel
to Knut and Kio’s place.
But first, of course, we had to have breakfast
and naturally,
it had to be at the restaurant right next to our hotel
นกฮูก ก๋วยเตี๋ยวเรือ นาไร่เดียว
 lol!
This time, we took a different route,
passing by a temple and more residential areas
instead of the town center.
We drove to a nearby shopping center. 
After that, Knut and Kio took us to a fantastic restaurant for lunch!
The place was famous for its grilled dishes and,
of course, served very authentic Thai food
**not the kind you usually get in Bangkok, lol!**
The restaurant is situated right next to nature, 
with facilities designed to be
"insta-friendly"!
On our very last day,
Gan secured two tickets for us to Bangkok early in the morning.
And of course,
using her special motorcycle with a sidecar,
she transported us from the hotel back to their home.
From there, we drove by car to the bus station.
But before that,
Arne said we had to visit the very "famous" local temple,
one of the tourist attractions.
Wat Wichian Bamrung (Wat Tha Nam).
After that,
we were driven to the bus station,
where our journey in a minivan from Wichian Buri to Bangkok began!
After about a 5-hour drive (with one stop),
we finally arrived at the Bangkok Bus Terminal
(Chatuchak, also known as Mochit 2).
At the business class lounge,
we arrived quite early from Bangkok,
so we had plenty of time to enjoy authentic fresh Thai
and non-Thai food
**and, of course, drinks as well at the Thai Airways Business Class Lounge!
The lounge offered a wide variety of delicious food,
including a buffet and à la carte options that could be ordered. 
Since it coincided with the Chinese Nine Emperor Gods Festival,
the business class lounge also featured
a special section dedicated to vegetarian dishes.
After plenty of eating and drinking,
it was finally time to board the plane.
This time, we were lucky enough to sit together!
**Not the best angle for me in this selfie!
Anyway, this plane was a newer model, 
and the seats were also newer and much better!
But the quality of food
was the same,
same OK :)
**Like grilled tiger prawns with "lobster "cream sauce,
and sous vide beef in green curry...
which for me, tasted very very average.
That's all for our Fall trip 2024.
XOXO
