please give up this seat ot monks

"please give up this seat ot monks"
i saw this absolutely catchy sign in the BTS trains today, after taking it so many times. hmms, dun laugh at it man, thailand's very loyal to their king and religion. but i wonder where's "please give up this seat to kings"
haha. maybe then they wud give seats to me :p
laugh plz.

err haha, ok man, im still leeching the internet over here at the Westin, Grande Sukhomvit. its been a fabulous 2/3 days so far in bangkok. yesterday was tremendous, some helluva travelling day, walking miles and miles until my legs almost gave way. if i give anyone the map of bangkok and showed the places i walked to, no one will believe it man. combing the area all the way from Asoke BTS station till chitlom station, visiting malls such as Amarin(shud be formerly known as SOgo), Central World (as big or even bigger than vivocity), Central, and many more along the stretch! after that we went upwards (according to the orientation by the map) to some market area, scouring 2 malls there, the platinum mall, and something else i cant really make up, which was equally fasincating. wad's more, over there, i managed to stumble upon their simlim sq. equivalent! it was gigantic, muhc much bigger than simlim square man. and happening. den we strolled down across some 2km to hit MBK again, since i had to get some more food stuff for family at home, yakking all the way for such stuff.
It was disappointing at night though, we made a really wasted trip to chatchuchak cause we tot it opens at night! but when we reached, we were so bemused about it, stalls all closed, lights off, simply like a ghost town. den we were told it was 7am -7pm -.-. i was so pissed at myself for not checking the stuff out be4 we headed there! in the end, visited suan lom night bazaar, which was really nothing much to me since i still had the inclination of going to chatchuchak to make sure i get the worth for my goods.
yea, today was good! chatchuchak was torn apart as we walked and walked, shops after shops. oh my, that place is beyond size, beyond quantity. photo taking thus began, while the shopping was similarly gratifying. good buys! haha, but yea, definitely not as much as wad girls wud expect, or wud do when they are there. good thing is that i managed to visit this place before it wud make way for disgusting urban development come next year, suan lom too. so i guess, it wud be a lasting experience for me, when come next year, there wud be no more chatchuchak and suanlom to greet tourists in the map of bangkok.
will be checking patpong out later, haha. sleezy place, but its worth the walk! hope i dun get trashed up taking some photos of the bartop dancers from the outside. haf fun dudes!
