Unfortunately, my final day in Bangkok did not turn out well either. The sleeping did not stop the puking. Although I thought I felt better and decided to go for breakfast along the streets outside the hotel, I ended up back in the room shortly after breakfast.
It was also the most terrible day where I vomited 7 times in a day each time after I put something into my mouth, be it at the hotel lobby, in the airport, on the plane and even back at home. So, my trip concluded in the most uneventful and yet most memorable way. Ask any of my family members, they would be able to share their shopping and massage experiences!
Perhaps because of my nausea, my impression of the hotel was not-too-good either. There were only 3 lifts servicing close to 20 storeys. During peak hours like the check-in and check-out time, it took very long to take the lift. Had it not been for the luggage, I would have chosen to take the stairs. I also almost puked in the lift as it stopped at almost every floor because everyone was trying to squeeze into the lift. That was partly why I chose to stay in my room instead of even trying to go down to the lobby.
It was my first trip to Bangkok. It did not turn out as enjoyable as I hoped it would be as I spent most of the time sleeping in the room. Perhaps it was the weather at Bangkok, or the congestion outside the hotel, or even the human congestion at the malls. I actually returned from this trip with a fear of Thai food for a good 9 months. The sight of it on signboards were enough to make me nauseous.
On the other hand, Khao Yai was great. It’s no wonder why many Singaporeans chose to visit the place for family trips as there were activities suitable for all ages. However, attractions were rather far apart, like Cameron Highlands. Hence, I would strongly recommended that you cater transport around the place. It would be even greater if the weather was cooler.
And finally, it was a really amazing family trip! Till the next one!
