Entry 4 : An Interesting Place

During the June holidays , I went to Thailand - Bangkok . To tell the truth , I do not really like the place . Not only is it busy and noisy , but also polluted and hot ! I hardly saw any of the famous Thai smiles and there were some nice temples but with some strict rules for foreigners to access them .

On the good side , there are also some interesting things about Bangkok . Not only is the food there tasteful , they are also inexpensive . There are many shopping centres like MBK ( Mah Boon Krong ) where you can buy electronic goods such as Mini-Disc and CD walkmen . There is a large variety of things to buy there which cost must cheaper than in Singapore . Also , there are many local markets along the street and it is a fun way to kill time . It is also a good way also to find some souvenirs and bargains , from local crafts , to clothes and sarongs .

Overall , I enjoyed my trip there but I would not recommand it to people who are impatient and cannot stand the heat there . It is an unsafe place where many people get kidnapped and cars zoom about the roads with their own pace , not caring one bit about the people around them . You can easily get knocked down when crossing the road , you even have to wait for the cars to pass when you cross the zebra crossing !
