Back from Bangkok Part 2 of 3

So next two nights we stayed at Holiday Inn Bangkok Silom, I think it is the best out of the 3 that we stayed during this trip, just the lobby was really impressive.

Price: S$197.05 for two nights all taxes included, S$98.525 per night.

Photos below.


Managed to get this roasted pork belly rice at 7/11, only 3 boxes so must go in early morning.


Just look at the lobby, so nice and comfy, worlds apart compared to that Grand China Hotel.





Nice view of the city.



King-sized bed, really comfortable, makes me want to buy one, I think when I get my BTO I am going to get a king-sized bed.


Even have a work area, they have LAN cable too. By the way the power sockets are international sockets so no need for those stupid converters.




Their own tuk tuk haha.


Ate these at MBK, pretty good, I'm glad they brought their street food standard to the food court because I thought all that good taste will be gone but good thing it didn't happen. Compared to our food court, theirs is really better in terms of taste. But funny thing is the pricing here is actually cheaper than at Yaowarat, everything at chinatown seems more expensive.




I really don't think bicycle sharing is going to work in BKK, the roads are just not safe for cycling.


Ended the day with a good dinner at Lee cafe, the fried carrot cake was amazing. All for 656.75 Baht.

How to Marry a Thai in Singapore

You should refer to here -  https://www.rom.gov.sg/reg_info/rom_marriage.asp Please spend some time to go through and understand the information on that section (legal provision, other information, filing of notice, solemnization and etc), if your still not sure, feel free to drop a comment here or you can use their FAQ . The ROM website did a really good job of putting together the information that you need in a well-organized manner. I've done it once and I think the guide is very easy to follow. The only hiccup I've had with my marriage is during the  Appointment for verification & Statutory Declaration where both of us were required to read out a wall of text and my wife had difficulty getting past the first few lines and the counter guy got fed up and told my wife to stop. Definitely my oversight as I didn't arrange for an interpreter beforehand but luckily, there was a licensed interpreter at the scene and we managed to get her to do the interpretation fo
