Land of Thousand Smiles - May 15 (Day 3).

Saturday!
Time for JJ!
Bright blue skies but there isn't as much crowd at JJ as before.
Carrying Yong's huge bagpack for my 'war'.
No photos since it was shopping time!

Time for food and rest as my bag was really heavy and it was really hot that day!!!

Fried Egg with Rice.

Cooling watermelon juice.
Really sweet!

Fried Chicken Wings.
Went on to get a doggy bag for Prada and to JJ Mall.
Head back to hotel via taxi.

Passed by on the way back.
Heard gunshots and saw the soldiers moving in.
The road was blocked so we had to alight the taxi and take a motorbike in to the hotel.
That was the exact same way we came out from the hotel.
Troublesome as it may seem but we are pretty well protected.
I think ang mo (since they look different) are the safest.
I applaud the journalists for going near the live-fire zone to report the latest news.
We decided to come back early so called Jetstar to change flight.
They were pretty understanding and changed our flight for us for free.
The hotel also offered to refund us for the last night in full.

So, for the final dinner, we headed down to the streets before nightfall to get some local food.

This was one of the smaller alley.
Most of the people here were locals with some tourist like us looking for food.
Business as usual for some..but it was pretty quiet.

Ami buying some fried stuff.
Another back alley.
We bought quite a lot of food.

Char Siew mee! yums!
Fried Wanton, meat ball and sausage with sweet chilli.
Otah which was infused with herbs and spices.
Tasted like tom yum otah.
Too spicy for me.
Cup corn which was sweet!
Not due to the natural sweetness but they add condense milk and sugar.
Roti desert.
Has egg, banana, condense milk and nutella!
The egg made it weird.
I miss the crepe at Phuket!
Our best friend.
Almost finish!
