DAY TWO (25.12.2014)
We wanted to get 2 SIM card from 7-11. The trigger to my temper as we waited for 1 hour and 15 minutes for the staff to 'assist' us in connecting to the internet. A waste of our precious time. I am not as patient as my hubby. There was some drama mama which I regretted. Never again will we get any SIM card from any 7-11. I advise that you get the same from a valid telecommunications outlet. There is one in Terminal 21.
WARNING: DO NOT GET THIS SIM CARD. IT IS USELESS.
(Disclaimer: Perhaps it was due to the incompatibility of our phone and the SIM card)
After painfully waiting for 1 hour and 15 minutes, a friend of ours managed to get it connected. My hubby managed to obtain a full refund after I made it clear that I am unable to wait any longer. Hubby, if you are reading this, I want to apologize again for 'misbehaving' during our holiday.
Ok. Enough of complaining.
Next stop was MASSAGE! Now let me tell you what the locals tells us. Even the taxi drivers and our tailor recommended us this place for a PROPER massage.
It is call HEALTH LAND. A healing centre to our weary muscles and joints. No regrets. I will visit Health Land for the next trip.

Some pictures below.
They have a total of 9 branches.
I had a 2 hours of Therapeutic Massage. I spent BHT700 for 2 hours. Those who have specific muscle sores on your body, I highly recommend this type of massage for you. Further, if you are pregnant, this is the ONLY MASSAGE for you. Other types of massage for a pregnant lady is a NO NO.
This massage is painful. I thought my spine would break into pieces. Haha. My feet felt so good thereafter as I have flat feet syndrome and the massage has assisted me for the next 4 days. If you have a history of spine injuries, I advised you to consult your doctor prior to choosing Therapeutic Massage.

ASIATIQUE
Asiatique has changed in the past year. Perhaps it was because there is more stalls and it is much crowded. I reckon as it is because it is December.
We didn't shop much as we were saving up for Chatuchak. Yes please save! It's cheaper to shop at Chatuckak.
How to get there?. Please see the link below.

Last year hubby and I took a ferry to Asiatique. Just stop at Saphan Taksin Silom Line and walk a distance to the jetty. It's free and ferry less crowded.
This year we decided to hop into a taxi from Sukhumvit for BHT200. We decided not to go home via ferry as the queue unbelieving long and ferry was IMHO way too crowded. We decided to hail a cab from the opposite lane to go home to beat the queue. We paid BHT300 for the four of us.
Please be advised that Asiatique closes at 12 midnight. Hence, if you are rushing for time, do plan early. Advisable to leave way before 12 midnight, otherwise you will have to queue for ferry or taxi. Aged parents and kids can't stand that long.
Didn't take any pictures as I was tired.
On a side note, most eateries are crowded and pricey. I would advise if you have your early dinner elsewhere. Thereafter, if stomachs start growling, have supper outside of Asiatique. By the way, Christmas is NOT a public holiday in Bangkok unlike other countries. So, traffic is bad during peak hours.
I have been to Asiatique twice and since it has since been so packed and crowded this year and moreover it closes at 12am and the queue so long, I will skip Asiatique in the near future and spend time at Chinatown.
Unfortunately, we had to skip Chinatown during our trip due to time and budget constrain. I reckon Chinatown itself need proper planning as IMHO it is huge. I want to have seafood in Chinatown in my next trip.
We called it a day after some yummy Thai instant noodles and yogurt drink and snacks that we purchased on our way home via hotel tuk-tuk.
