Today we go out to check for a flight to Koh Samui. We check three travel agencies in total. The first is the cheapest, so we go back to book the flights and also a bungalow for the first night on the Island.
Sin Sze reads in her travel guide that the most popular hostel of Bangkok Suk 11 is in the area we are staying. So we go to their restaurant for some good lunch and try to book one night before we leave Bangkok for Koh Samui. Unfortunately it is booked out when we check again after the meal which is a bit disappointing. The place looks cool, like a hidden rain forest right which is a high contrast to the surrounding busy streets. We later go back to the Le Fenix room and look for other hotels and hostels. I also contact the brother of Sa (Mark) and her friend Koy.
Close to dawn, we go to a small shopping mall where they have a ‘maid’ cafe. The waitresses dress up as ‘maids’ and serve you with good manners. This is a sub-culture originates from Japan. We enjoy hot chocolate drinks and some chocolate cake and ice cream. Most shopping malls close at 8pm in Bangkok. Sin Sze gets a bag from NaRaYa, a Thai bag boutique store with low-cost quality products.
