Arrived the Airport around 11.30am, check in air-asia flight and take a group photo with the tour guide who has been follow us during our visit.

Our Flight is 2.05pm, so it still have plenty of time to shop around the duty free shop. I brought a swatch watch at 2170 baht where in Malaysia only sell for RM230 which the duty charge by the goverment for watch not really high.

However, it cheap to get alcohol at duty free shop. I brought 1 liter of DOM at Duty Free Shop in Penang Airport for only RM99 where i checked in Jusco Queensbay Mall sell for RM102 for 750ml.

Some of them having lunch at Burger King before we return back to Penang.

Feel un-easy after playing this game. Follow the route in DreamWorld, they have Rapter - The Human Washing Machine.

and the roller coster

don't dare to go up any of this game as i still not yet recover from the early game on Hurricane, the name speak it all.

The weather is hot outside. So, we go to Snow House. It actually an Ice Room with temperature at -4 degree. Feel cold at first entry, however after some time, you just can't hold it. Hands and ears are getting pain. Quickly play the snow slide then come out and continue to lunch. Snow House is the place where most of us get sick after come back from Bangkok. syiksss!!!

after the lunch and getting better, We continue to play the Space Mountain,

the bump car,

and the roller coaster. This one quite nice, it just swing you from left to right, right to left. Not those up and down which about height.

While for wet game, DreamWorld got the splash (not playing)

and the water drafting. Look interesting! Me and ah Kam go to buy the rain coat (just a plastic) at 30 Baht to try  out this game out. not much excitement, it just make you wet and luckily, we have rain coat. :-) (30 baht server it purpose)


After that we check out the Go Cart (at separate cost, not included in the entrance) which is not fast enough to play. then we check out the Human washing machine again as some of the gorgeous Taiwan tourist girls is playing that....hehe!!


In the DreamWorld, it have many stall or counter for fun fair as well as body painting. Hock Lye won a soft toy at one of the counter. It also time to leave for Temple Visit at 2.30pm. The time only enough for taking some photo around the DreamWorld


We didn't continue the post tour to Temple Visit and the dinner as it going to use up our time to spend in Bangkok. So, we went back Hotel wash up then going to "The Fifth" in MBK (Shopping Mall) having tea break. It so easily get hungry during travel.

I ordered the Fish Don.

After the meal, We continue shopping at MBK, I windows shop. We schedule to meet up at KFC, MBK at 6.30pm. So, everyone can shop on their own without waiting each others. After Shopping, we go to massage for final round before going back to Malaysia.

So, we going to Rachadapeech for massage. Hock Lye, Hai Kau bring the student to traditional Massage center. While some others go to "Subway", "VIP" and "Nataree". I go to one of the traditional Massage center called "Lemon Grass" 

The whole street rate for 2 hour massage is at 400 - 450 baht. While this Lemon Grass charge for 700 baht for 2 hours. It kind of expensive. The manager request me to check out the place before deciding to massage. The place is different from where i massage in first 2 day. It SPA like environment, cozy, dimmed light, aroma sense and soft music.

Finally, I massage here at price 550 baht. The massaur is professional and i pay 150 baht as tips.

Feel great after massage and tonight is last night in Bangkok, we're not going back to Hotel and sleep. After refreshing at Hotel, we went to a disco called SNOP Bangkok.

It is a Thai Disco with Live Band. The lighning in SNOP is fantastic. Check out the video:


Michael bring his Bangkok friends to the party who he just met during the shopping in MBK. He is really good with his mouth. (I mean Thai Language) =รพ

Anyway, Apple is having fun!

Again, the Disco close at 2pm. We not feel like going back. So, we continue to Hollywood Disco at Soi 6 (near by) We met some friends here. After finish whole bottle of Black Label, I went back to sleep at around 4.00am. While Apple, Hean, Joseph Chow and so on continue to Spoon Bar and Restaurant until the next day morning 6-7am.
