Bangkok #3

     Now, is our third day in Bangkok :) We will go to Grand Palace and another Wat-Wat in Riverside. Actually we wanna try to reach there by boat, but, after I see the route in map, it's more convenient to go by taxi. And... here we are, inside the taxi, enjoying the boisterousness of Bangkok in the morning till I fall a sleep.
     When I woke up, we already in front of Grand Palace, and that's damn crowded there. Soo many people from different country are lining to enter the gate. Before we start queuing, we need to buy a ticket, which is costs us 400B per person, except kids. There are 3 tickets for 3 different object, first is Grand Palace, second one is Vimanmek (a wooden palace) and the third one i'm not really sure what it is (because we didn't go there).
      Finally, we can enter the palace, the building in this palace is really artistic. Usually the color of the building is mixed from red, white, green and gold. We start seeing one by one building (not even until half of them I saw, I'm already tired ><). There are one big building for praying, and a lot of museums and the rest of the building we can't enter. In the end of the tour, we went to Queen Sirikit museum, it shows us all the dress Queen Sirikit has and how's the process to make a silk.
     After the tour, we feel so tired and hungry, so we stop to grab some ice cream in the cafe inside the palace. Beside eating ice cream, my mom also bought a couple of coconut. Surprisingly, the price is not much different from the outside and even almost the same as in Indonesia. wow.
     When we feel that we already gather our energy again, hehe, we continue our trip to the second place, Vimanmek. Because that's quite far from the Grand Palace, so we need to take a taxi. When we discuss, where is this place actually, there is one driver who suddenly talking something in Thai Language *what a fool, cause we can't understand. LOL* he start talking-talking and talking and he said he can drive us there with 100B. What the hell is that? Thousand baht?! Then my dad reject him, and we go to another place. He keep following us and yell "50 baht!" and we just ignore him and go.
     "why we don't take that taxi mom? that seems pretty cheap," ask Ara.
     "but, he already shown his bad attitude, even though that's cheap, we don't know that maybe he'll cheat us again after we reach the place. That's the same thing when you are doing business, never take a person to be your partner if they have a bad attitude!" explain my mom.
     After a few minutes walking, finally we got a taxi. It takes around 30 minutes to go there, by the time we reached there, it almost close :p hahaha. So we just hurriedly go inside.
     WOW, this palace is very comfortable! and look likes my great grand parents house. Big and cool. When we go deeper to the palace, we saw the king's collection of deer head, ivory, elephant feet, and others. That's is just so .... I don't know how to say. I just hate this king so much.
     In the exit, we found a group of Indonesian, they are so .... embarrassing T.T okay, whatever it is, now our journey has ended, all we need to do is just going back to our apartment and take a good rest :3

See you in tomorrow's story :D
