Please bargain the price, the will give you the best price and bring along calculator or smartphone to bargain you price, unless you speak Thai. Some of the shopper cannot understand English at all.

The most crowded time is of course on the Friday night, where a lot of teenager wandering around the market as Friday is the wholesales day. A lot of offer item.


So many people during the night time. Even hard for you to walk through. Beaware of the pickpocket. Secure your belonging. If you bring your backpack, make sure put it in front of you.

Most of the items are cheap. Just spare extra money when you were here.

One of the eating place operate during night session.

The best time to come here is in the early morning. During the day time, you can freely wandering around the market because there is not many people yet but it will build up in the afternoon.


Don't worry about your stomach. You can find a lot of hooker by the side of the road selling food. Cheap, delicious and clean.


Toasted bread with margarine. Very tasty.

Ice blended, just choose which flavour do you like.

From right, oreo, mango and banana.


Don't forget to bring your sunglasses, hat, cap, sun block and extra bag while shopping here. In the afternoon this place will be hot due to open place and crowded with a lot of people.

There is a lot of toilet provided here, The charge is 3 bath per entry.

One more thing about Chatuchak Market, it is hard to find the rubbish bin. But the road is clean. hard for you to find any unwanted rubbish.


This is Chicken Rice, thumbs up!!!

One last thing about Bangkok, if you want to get some where in the city at night, please take a taxi. Avoid tut tut. They will charge you high. The driver taxi don't mind if you want to squeeze even 6 peoples inside :).

Sandakan

Hotel Sandakan, Front View
Hotel Sandakan, Side View
Bandar Sandakan pukul 9 malam
Sepi saja, tak banyak aktiviti di malam hari. Lebih kurang pukul 9 malam.
Shopping complex kat bandar Sandakan. Harbour Mall. Paling besar kat sini.
Nun jauh di tepi pantai penuh gerai2 makan. Memang meriah kat area sini. Adalah lebih kurang 100 meter panjang deretan kedai makan. Macam2 jenis hidangan. dari fast food hinggalah ke seafood.
Loby Hotel Sandakan.
Banner yang menarik. Belum pernah lagi jumpa hotel kat tempat lain ada banner macam ni.
Ini lagi la. Selalunya durian sahaja jadi mangsa tapi kat sini siap dengan haiwan laut hotel tak bagi bawa masuk bilik. Maklumlah Sandakan memang terkenal dengan kemeriahan makanan lautnya.
Kejadian lif tersangkut di pagi hari. Disebabkan bekalan elektrik terputus. Mau dekat sejam dia orang terperangkap di dalam. Last, dapat dibuka dari tingkat 1. Selamat 2 orang lelaki, peserta kursus ntah dari mana tak tahu.
Lunch kat Pasar Sim Sim. Makanan dia memang best. Kebanyakkan ikan bakar, harga memang berpatutuan murah. Yang paling menarik adalah cili dia, memang MELETOP habis.
Ini pulak dinner kat Restoran Sim Sim 88 kat bandar Sandakan juga. Semestinya halal. Restoran milik orang cina.
Laluan menuju ke restoran. Kena lalu ikut rumah2 di atas laut. Tapi waktu ini air tengah surut.
Di hujung depan sana adalah jalan masuk. Kiri kanan adalah rumah orang. Tengok tu siap ada air-cond lagi.
Antara makanan yang kami order. Ikan kerapu, ketam, udang, sotong, sayur kailan, siput (tak pasti nama apa tapi memang sedap), ikan bakar ntah apa namanya, dah lupa. Jumlah keseluruhan utk 8 orang makan = RM400.
Ketam masak sweet sour. Pergh memang terangkat.
Kerapu masak stim.
Pasar basah Sandakan. Terletak di belakang Harbour Mall.
Macam2 ikan kering ada dijual. Harga memang murah gila...
Airport Sandakan yang sedang dalam renovation. Kurang selesa sikit. panas dan banyak habuk.
Banyak orang duduk di luar, udara lebih segar dan nyaman.
Tengah menunggu member.
