My Bangkok Tour with Cathey Airline.

We were 3 friends who were planned to visit the Thailand. We reached at Suvarnabhumi Airport, Bangkok at morning 8:00 AM. We took the taxi from airport in 600 Baht for Pratunam. Day 1:  We took our hotel booking from Macz Travel(Chauhan Indian Restaurant). Our hotel was newly opened that's why got the untouched rooms. Hotel was so cool with all facilities. We planned to see the movie in night, name was "Grand Masti". We were total 7 guys who planned to see the movie. It was my first experience to see the movie in International theater. Movie was awesome and we enjoyed it lots. I didn't slept all the night and early in the morning our friends came to go for "Dream World"
