Thus, made it back to BKK for a short getaway. Was with my parents but we took different flights as mine was pre-booked quite early. My parents left early in the morning and reached BKK at about 10+ and they headed straight to Chatuchak!
I took the afternoon (1245pm) flight all on my own (it's not the first time lah!)...
The sky was really beautiful and thus, I decided to snap some pictures! Check them out!
Reached hotel at about 3+pm. Mum and dad are still not back from Chatuchak! Thus, I checked in first to rest.
Welcome pack from the hotel~Did the usual shoppings, and not forgetting to pray the four-faced Buddha. Took some photos of the Christmas decorations in Central World.
A band playing Jazzy music.
Choo Choo Train~
This is a really cute Snowman!
Little Santa Claus! Took this while mum was shopping. Teeheehee.
Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell!!!
Big Xmas Tree!Just before we left the hotel, the hotel staff told us it was the wrong time for us to leave BKK as there is a mob in the airport. My mum was like 'huh? Got bomb?' I was laughing lo. Hotel staff told us it would take 1.5 hours (usually 45 mins) to reach the airport. We started to panic as we could possibly miss our flight.
The usual route to Departure/Arrival Hall was closed due to the protestors. Taxi driver was smart to take another route. However, the jams were bad. Our flight was at 7.05pm, and we only arrived at the airport 6.05pm. Walked briskly to the check-in counters, and briskly to the immigration and then to the plane. It was the first time we panicked for we could miss our flight anytime.
We saw many people running, scrambling around as most of them were late for their flights! I must say we were really lucky to have caught our flight! 2 hours later, the airport was declared closed! Till today, it's still closed... My heart goes out to all those who are stuck in the airport. May this 'crisis' be over soon as some of my colleagues are still there, and some are scheduled to fly this weekend or the next.
