My fourth day in Bangkok

I’m really having a nice time here in Bangkok. I’ve gone to Chatuchak, Sukhumvit and Suan Lum Market. Last night I bought 9 pieces of scarf at 50 Baht each. That’s around P70 per piece. I’m giving 4 pieces away for Christmas. The pieces I keep for myself. hehehe… I also bought spicy tamarind at 110 Baht for a 3-tube pack.

The XPON office here is so nice. They have a nice Conference Room, nice Espresso machine, with complete condiments — cream, milk, cocoa, sugar or low-cal sugar. They have nice office and furnitures. People are nice too. They always smile at me even if they don’t know me.

For lunch, we ate at the Foodcourt beside the office. It was a turo-turo style eatery without the flies. The noodles and coke cost only 35 Baht.

The last time I was here, I didn’t have money to spend. And it was a treat for us. But now, it also feels like a treat for me because I was sent by the company for training and meeting. I’m staying at the Landmark Bangkok, a 5-star hotel, with all the works. I share the room with my colleague, but there’s no issue there.

Here’s some of my official expenses so far:

Taxi from house to Airport    P180

Terminal Fee                          P750

Taxi from Airport to Hotel     300 Baht

Toll from Airport to Hotel        70 Baht
