It’s the day of my big race in Bangkok, the Standard Charted Bangkok Marathon. The race starts as early as 3.30am. To my own surprise, I was able to clock 4:40 after being absent from long distance race for almost 1 year. I’ll blog about Bangkok Marathon on another time soon.
Completed!
After the race, I went back to my room to clean up myself and tried to take a nap. Maybe my heart rate was still beating fast after the long run, only managed to sleep in for 20 minutes. So I decided to go into the city centre to do some shopping.
I think it was a mistake to go into the city centre after the big race. While my legs and body is feeling so sore from the run, walking up and down the stairs is such a torturous movement for me. The Sunday crowd in the city makes the whole matter worse. But amazingly, I couldn’t believe I could spend my whole afternoon walking around there. Then I decided to make it back to Khao San after enough of the crowd and the pain on my legs.
Once back in Khao San, went for a nice full body massage that only cost 290baht for 1,5 hr. They probably done a very good job as after that, my legs and body felt so much looser and less pain.
Since it’s the last night in Bangkok, I went to Chinatown in Yaowarat to savour some nice food there. The place really live up to the tourist guide description. There’re many big neon light signage and food stores along the road, I spent about 150baht on a few types of food and deserts of something different from what you can get in Malaysia.
Chinatown
So many things to eat!
Satisfied with the food from Chinatown, I went back to Khao San again to pack up my luggage and ready to go home the next day.
