Took a walk in the morning to the market nearby (Gim Yong or Kim Yong, not too sure about the pronounciation). On the way, we stumbled upon this quaint traditional house.
 |
| Looks like a typical Malaysian kampung house |
We were amazed by how clean Gim Yong market (Coordinates: 7.007639, 100.469986) was, not the grimy wet markets in Malaysia.
 |
| Clean streets and walkways |
 |
| And just what is he selling? |
 |
| Going walkabout |
We had breakfast there, found a shop selling local cakes and such.
 |
| Sorry, didn't have my flash on me |
Then it was a bout of shopping at the Plaza market.
 |
| Clothes galore |
 |
| Handbags as well |
It was then off to Robinson Department Store (Coordinates: 7.003226, 100.468879) for more shopping. We found a simple shop selling really authentic thai food (read: flaming hot stuff) located along a lane behind Robinson (7.002639, 100.469167).
 |
| We love this down-to-earth kind of shops |
 |
| Limited choice, but the taste more than made up for it |
 |
| Caution: I was too liberal with the gravy on my rice, and paid the price (gulped down pints of water) |
Went back to the hotel and Brendan said he wanted a foot massage. Since Cat and I didn't feel like it he went on his own.
 |
| An easy job for the masseuse, should've asked for a discount |
 |
| Same as last year |
 |
| Brendan loves this part |
While Brendan was at the massage parlor, we spent our tea time at Chester's Grille.
 |
| Where would I be without my 55bt cafe mocha? |
Dinner was at the usual tom yam shop (Coordinates: 7.007292, 100.470903) behind The Regency Hotel.
 |
| She remembers us |
 |
| Authentic southern thai tom yam |
