I love Batam! I love Harris Resort!

Went to Batam on 28 - 29 Jun. Though was an extremely short trip, we had a good time laughing, eating, relaxing at the resort.. Went for bowling, foot reflexology, full body massage at the resort.. The massage was done outdoor, such a unique experience! (see photos below)Bought a pair of sandals at the resort (only buy i had at Batam) Had a good seafood dinner at Golden Prawn.. I like the Sambal Kangkong & Claypot Tofu. Spent the last day shopping at the Batam Mega Mall but didn't bought anything there.. had to accompany Mum back on Sunday as she needs to be back then.. while my aunties and uncle had a day extension, they went to color their hair and had another day of shopping =(

Some nice photos of the resort and the massage outlet.

Day 3 (9 Nov 07, Fri)

We decided to go to Siam Square to shop a bit before proceeding to Chinatown.

Took this shot while on the way to Siam Sq

Didn't take any pics while in Siam Square.. forgot to take my camera out.. =p



We went to take the BTS to Saphan Taksin at 45 baht (1.95 sgd) then take a river boat to Chinatown.









Can u see my nailart? Haha. Not to digress, the boat cost 18 baht (0.80 sgd) per pax.

We walked a bit and found sum peng lane. This should be it..



We had a simple lunch fare of bee hoon soup at 45 baht each (1.95 sgd). Then i bought sweet corn at only 20 baht (0.80 sgd). But guess wat, the auntie added condensed milk to it, which makes it so sweet for us!!

After shopping for some accessories, we also went to Yao Wa Rat to get some dried products, such as 'gao sai' and cuttlefish. Then we went back to hotel via cab at 5 plus. It was a wrong time to take cab, as most cabs weren't willing to go by meter. Finally found 1 willing to take us. Trip cost 70 baht (4 sgd)

This is our early dinner. Bought all these at Chinatown. I love the Fried Carrot Cake the best (with beansprouts!).


My buys at Siam Square





My buys at Chinatown - Hair Accessories at less than 1 baht each, earrings (for gifts) at 48 baht for 12pcs, bag at 250 baht, earring stand at 250 baht.

After a hearty dinner and rest, we proceeded to Siam Paragon. Main purpose is to visit Ocean World. But the entrance fee is too ex so we decided just to walk around..




Walked by Siam Discovery..


Took this along the way to hotel

Along the way, we decided to get some food for supper again!

Pad Thai - 35 baht (1.5+ sgd)


Wanton Mee - 30 baht (1.3 sgd)



Fried Rice & Tom Yam Soup bought at the seafood restaurant along the road to our hotel. (Total abt 200 baht - 8.70 sgd)I love the fried rice and tom yam soup the most. The soup was sour and spicy and the fried rice have crab meat!


My souvenirs from Ocean World, though we didn't went in! =p

After supper, we went to have a foot massage at the massage place just below the hotel. This place looks like it has a lot of customers from the hotel! It cost 200 baht including a shoulder massage.

Day 4 (10 Nov 07, Sat)

It was the last day. We couldn't negotiate for a late check-out. So we decided to set off late in the morning, check out and leave our luggage at the counter and then to Chatuchak Weekend Market. By cab cost 100+ because of expressway toll fee.


We had brunch here, and ordered glass noodles (tang hoon) at 35 baht each (1.5+ sgd)

His was with pork meat


And mine was seafood.

In the end, saw that this was actually their soup and we treated them as main dish!






Kawaii doggies spotted!


I love this spring rolls the best. Very crispy! Glass noodles & mixed Vege + Curry. Forgotten the price though..

It was really hot and i was perspiring already. Decided to go back, this time by BTS.


Passed by CTC Park


Can't rem how much BTS cost.. maybe 45 baht (1.95 sgd)each

We decided to have our last dinner in BKK here, BBQ buffet steamboat

Only 89 baht (3.90 sgd) each!


Simply love their squids!

Total meat cost only 230 baht (10 sgd), including 1 bottle of coke!

We finally made our way back to hotel and took cab to the Airport liao! The Airport is really beautiful!





Home Sweet Home!






My buys at CTC. Mostly are souvenirs. I like the handphone straps and the purses the best!
