After going to Golden Buddha Temple, we went to Siam Discovery for Madame Tussaud. Our minibus stopped at MBK, so we must walk to Siam Discovery through Siam Center. Siam Center is very beautiful mall i think. The decoration is very cool especially the food court and the alley, also the store. I really want to take the picture, but i can't. Not enough time :(
all the shopping mall around are connected
Because i not really confident about taking self potrait, so i don't have many picture with the statue hehe i just take a picture of the statue. All kpop lovers especially hottest (2pm's fans club) want to visit Madame Tussaud Bangkok because they have the wax statue of Nichkun. My friend really want to see it and take a picture with the statue, so do i :D
2pm's Nichkun
But the wax statue of Nichkun is not exactly the same. It's different although it's still handsome ;p
David Beckham
even Tom Cruise wax statue is very handsome :*
Angelina Jolie
Jackie Chan
At the end of the museum, there's a place where you can make your hand's wax statue. It's kinda expensive and fragile so my friend told me not to make it.
After visiting the Madame Tussaud, we decided to go to Terminal 21. Actually it was me, who gave that idea because i read from a blog, if you are a shopaholic, Terminal 21 is a must visited place but it is not a part of the tour so we went there by our self. The tour guide told us to take the BTS Skytrain. It's very fast andof course, no traffic jam.
To buy the single journey ticket, you must exchange your banknote with coins. There's a locket where you can exchange it. You can see how to use bts skytrain in Bangkok in here: guide to travel around Bangkok using BTS Skytrain (video) or this one: ticket issuing and user guide
the machine where you can get your single journey ticket. you can insert 1/5/10 Baht coins
board inside the skytrain, you can see the routes and 'where you are'
From Siam station we went to Asok station we we pass through 4 station and it cost 25 Baht.
Terminal 21 is located in front of BTS Asok, so it's connected. Terminal 21 is a very unique mall, each floor is decorated with the theme of each metropolitan (Paris, Tokyo, Rome, Istanbul, London and San Francisco).

Unfortunately, because of time we only explored the Tokyo floor.
Terminal 21 is famous to have a great toilet. At Tokyo floor the interior is like when you go to a
sauna. It's really, really beautiful!
In the Tokyo floor, mostly we can bargain because there's no price tag. (If there's a price tag, don't you dare to bargain haha) I bought 2 shirt and a short.
We plan to meet our tour guide in MBK, so we are in hurry to take the skytrain. But an incident happens. My friends grandmother take the skytrain before us and she doesn't have her phone so she's lost. We were really panicked and catch up with the next train, but there's no sign from her. We search until the last station, Mo Chit station. We called our tour guide, ask the security, tell the staff at the station finally they found her in Siam :)
After that incident, my tour guide said that we can shopping at MBK but our energy are already drained. So at first me and my friends take a break at McDonald. I'm very curious about the food (if it's same or not with Indonesian McDonald) but in the end we choose to order cola, french fries and the new menu (i forgot the name).
MBK also known as Mahboonkrong, is a large shopping mall in Bangkok, Thailand. At eight stories high, the center contains around 2,000 shops, restaurants and service outlets, including the 4-story Tokyu department. (google)
MBK is a famous shopping destination especially if you join the tour from Indonesian tour. They will definitely bring you here to shop. If you want to buy things in cheaper price, don't shop at the department store. There's a lot of kiosk outside the department store. I bought 2 backpacks and very satisfied with the price.
After that we had dinner at Ole ole restaurant. The food was delicious :)
I asked my tour guide, what's the popular Thai beer, and he said usually people drink Chang or Singha. So when we reach the hotel, we went to the nearest 7eleven to buy the beer. We bought the Singha one :)
I forgot the price but the taste is same as indonesian beer :p
