We arrived at Don Mueang Airport which is a smaller airport and we got to transfer by bus after we touch down to the arrival hall. The taxi counter is at lane 8, cheaper than the airport taxi who quote us 700baht!
For the accommodation I booked Centara Watergate Pavillion Hotel Bangkok , is wonderful! The best thing was the free upgrade! Who don't love good things that comes free?
We got their Family Deluxe room which comes with bunk bed and a king sized bed, perfect for families with kids! Their lobby is located at level 9! |
| Nice lobby! |
What I like:
Friendly helpful staff especially the security teams
Clean room, non carpeted flooring
Many toiletries provided
Spacious room
Good breakfast spread
Good location
Good wifi (individual room network)
The not so good:
King sized bed can feel bits of 'sandy'
Stay in room 1019, which is directly above the lobby and the music was too loud on the day where they had some event going on. I have a toddler so this can be disturbing
Bath tub was a little too high for the kids
Pillow was too soft
For short stay I usually don't require housekeeping but their switch goes off when you take out the room card which defeat the purpose of having the switch
Turn right from the hotel main entrance, head towards to the main road and turn left, cross the bridge and platinum mall is just opposite
Platinum mall - 10 mins walk
Big C / Central World - 15 mins walk
Childom station - 25 mins walk

| Some wear and tear |
After checking in and settled, we went to search for the famous Wanton Mee which is just beside us!
Glow Pratunam Hotel (Glow Pratunam is also the same building where they call the Shibuya Shopping Mall). On the lane where you see Mcdonalds, walk in, it is around 6 to 7 shops in the lane and on the right side of the lane. Pretty easy which you won't missed!
We reach at around BKK time 2pm, no queue and their popular braised pork trotter is already sold out
Please note that they are closed at BKK time 3pm!
We ordered 2 large and 1 small bowls of noodles and the total damage was around SG$10. Hub was commenting it is expensive and not really that super de duper fantastic 
After which, we went to Platinum to walked (I am not really a shop-alcoholic) and didn't realize they have a 'extension building' next to it. This prove how long I have not been here lolz...
As for dinner, we went to their famous restaurant chain, Somboon Seafood! There is a newly opened outlet at Siam Square one which is the closest for us. We ordered their 'must ordered' dish, Fried Curry Crab, Steamed Fish (for my toddler), Vegetable and Tom Yum soup!
Their baby chair with no safety harness or anything to 'locked' my toddler. Thankfully I brought my 'Todseat'
 |
| I specified not so spicy and didn't expect it still turn out to be so good! |
 |
| Best! The sauce is not spicy, 'eggy', creamy and yummy! |
 |
| Disappointing because of the stinky fishy smell |
 |
| Crunchy and fragrant! |
Spot Hello Kitty Cafe when we exit from the back of the mall!
Total for the dinner: $80SGD with drinks, beer and rice for 2 adults and 1 child and 1 toddler. Is costly but we felt is worth it.
You don't really need any itinerary in BKK unless you heading outskirt. That the end of our day one and we head back to rest early for tomorrow day trip!
