This is also the first time we book flight by ourselves, book hostel, plan schedule and bla bla bla. Due to ZERO experience, I did ask many people and done a lot of research. Thanks for my friends that all so believe me and we start to experience our shopping + backpacker trip.
When we reach Don Muang Airport, I feel like WTF? No one can understand my English here, mean should I take bus? Taxi? or Train to my destination? I admit that I done the wrongest decision which is taking TRAIN to Bangkok town and it spend us about 2 hours! OMG! We took the train that we can never meet in Malaysia anymore. It is so old! For me, it is actually a nice experience. :)
At the same train station, we bought the train tickets to Hat Yai. According to the train schedule, we need to use about 15 hours to reach Hat Yai from Bangkok. Don't ask me why we decided to take train from Bangkok to Hat Yai because flight only need 1 hour. This is because we are trying to experience more that normal traveler will not meet.
The hostel that we stay in Bangkok named Udee. It has a quite high rate and review in 'trip advisor' and 'hostelworld' so we decided to stay there. The environment here is soooo GOOD! You will feel relax when you step into this hostel.
We reached our hostel at 7pm but actually we reach Don Muang Airport at about 2.30pm. The worst is when we check-in, hostel host told me that actually take taxi only need less than half hour. =.= I feel like crying! Everyone are exhausted, we drop down our luggage and go out to have our dinner. WE ARE HUNGRY! We just simply walk walk beside the street that near our hostel to hunt some food. It's so impossible to go far far away for dinner when we are in hunger.

Our first day end like this? NO WAY! We went to supermarket and 7-11 to get some beer and softdrink and spend our night at hostel rooftop. :))
DAY 2 ~~
Wake up early and prepare to go SHOPPING! We take skytrain to Siam Station and wtf? Already 10am in Thailand why no shop open? We are sooooo lucky to meet a tour-guide there and tell us 15th Jan is one of their buddha festival and shop will only open at 1pm. He also recommended us to go visit the famous temple in Bangkok with the worth price. Really feel grateful that meet this tour-guide to guide us without charging us any fees.

| The tour guide told us the normal entrance fees is 600bht. Only today special 50bht. |
Take tuk-tuk with the cheapest price to the boat station and start our 2 hours journey. The temple is really high and huge. The art of the building is so amazing! I have never regret to been there.

After the 2 hours, we go back to Siam Paragon and finally the shops open. There are luxurious than Pavillion I guess and not suit us to shop. So we just have our lunch there and go to Platinum Fashion Mall.
We went to try MCD Pork Prosperity! and also few of the sets meal that not available in Malaysia.
Go to Platinum Fashion Mall by tuk-tuk and we start our shopping! I can't get nice stuff due to my huge size and weird taste hmm.. But my friend is trying to move the mall back to Malaysia!
After the shopping session, we going to Asiatique that friend and hostel host recommended. We met a taxi driver who can speak hokkian with us. *Finally found someone can understand what we talking about* He fetch us go to Asiatique and recommend us to floating market before we heading to Hatyai. Since everyone agree with his plan, so we deal with him and he will fetch us to floating market on Day 3.
Asiatique, it is really beautiful place. The main point is, price of the stuffs there is quite reasonable! We bought most of the souvenir there and also grab alot of NARAYA there! NARAYA is a MUST when you come to Thailand, it price is reasonable!
We walk until all the shop close only back, the taxi fare killed us due to midnight rate. :(((
