Bangkok, Here We Come!

We will be going to Bangkok for round two of shopping thanks to Air Asia :) Since our first visit in January this year, Jo had always said that she wanted to make another trip before the wedding but didn't think that her wish would turn into a reality. In a pleasantly surprising twist of events, she had one day checked her email and found an Air Asia e-newsletter sitting in her inbox.

Under normal circumstances, she would have just discarded the mail without thinking twice. On that day however, she decided to take a look at its contents and found that they were again offering good deals for flight tickets. Bangkok was on the list so she checked for available dates out of curiosity.

Well, those of you who are frequent Air Asia flyers will know how difficult it is to obtain cheap tickets, and that these are not normally offered on weekends. Also, this was not just any other weekend, as we were considering going over the long weekend surrounding National Day.

For obvious reasons, we were surprised and excited when the cheap tickets were available on the dates we were looking at. We were already short on leave (Jo was, at least!) so being able to spend three days there without needing to take off from work was a plus point. Of course, we had deliberately planned to hit the weekend so we could head to the infamous Chatuchak Market, which houses more things than any one shopping mall can hold at very reasonable prices!

It's a good five months before we set foot on Thai soil again, but already we're compiling our shopping list for wedding supplies - hopefully we'll have enough luggage space for all the stuff that will inevitably burn a big hole in our pockets!
