Bangkok Hotel : Ibis Bangkok Siam

Day 1 @ 15 June 2013

Ibis Bangkok Siam

Ibis Bangkok Siam..... Have you heard of this before? Yes ! There is many Ibis Hotel, but if you want a budget hotel which is strategically located directly in front of "National Stadium BTS", 5 min walking distance to MBK Shopping Center and another 10min walking distance to Siam Paragon...
Then you should really book Ibis Bangkok Siam@ Rama 1, Wangmai, Pathumwan, Bangkok 10330, Thailand.

The Front Hotel. Mercure is a slightly high class than Ibis. Yet i rather choose Ibis for the price :P

Not trying to highly promote this hotel, but yet..sharing is caring.. Normally, i used to book at the hostel just beside Ibis Siam, which is Lub D Siam since i want to save time traveling around by BTS..

Lub D siam, the hostel i previously stay is just beside Ibis Siam

But when i got to know that IBIS Siam is newly open end of 2012, that is when i know i should book this hotel when there is still promotion !
We manage to book a "Standard Twin Room with Breakfast" for RM 543 Nett @ 4D3N which consider affordable as we only need to pay RM 267 nett each for our 4D3N stay.

RM 534 nett for 4D3N

Taipei Day 1 : Ximending Shopping & CityInn Plus Ximending.

Day 1

Taipei, at last the day has reach for our speed 4D3N trip.
Frankly speaking, Taipei itself always amaze me with their food, their culture & the places to visit.
There are various marvelous places to visit in Taiwan itself..
If only i have a week or two, i will surely backpack the whole taipei itself..hopping from one place to other; enjoying the amazing scenery.
But as for now...
Focus on Taipei itself is all i could do. :)

The moment we landed in Taoyuan International Airport, it was already 2.40pm.
The moment we check out from the airport, 7-eleven is the first place that we visited in the airport as we are dreadfully hungry ! Did i mention i have plane sickness ? Most of the time while i'm on plane, i will be sleeping soundly until the plane touches the ground ! That is why i do not buy any seat arrangement with friends in the plane as it will be a waste of money since i will be snoring all the way until i reach my destination. Haha. Nevertheless, 7-11 in taipei is totally different of what we have in Malaysia ! You can really spend time scanning around the various food & drinks sold there ! I am very easy to be delighted. Give me various food & great places for photography..i will be very happy me. :)

After we have a quick lunch at 7-eleven, we bought a bus ticket from airport to Ximending which cost TWD 140 (RM 14) one way.

We bought the ticket at the ticket counter at the airport itself.

Since we're staying in CityInn Plus Ximending, it is just 3 minutes walking distance from Ximen Station, Exit 3.
And only around 5-7minutes walk to the famous Ximending Shopping Heaven.
