Today is the 3rd day since we met with bike accident. YQ decided to bring me to Yaowarat (Chinatown) to look for Chinese tie da senseh since I'm able to walk around abit. We took a cab to Yaowarat as there are no BTS or MRT to Yaowarat and it's more convenient for me to take a cab with my situation now. The taxi fare from Take a Nap hotel to Yaowarat is quite cheap at THB60 ~ S$2.60.

There are many chinese physician shops here and we asked whether anyone know tie da here? Some told us to go to the hospital at the Kuan Yim temple. Hence we continued to walk and finally locate Thian Fah Hospital.
Finally we found the it!

I don't know why this place is called a hospital as it is more like a polyclinic. Luckily some of the staff here can speak Mandrain and the doctors here are Thai Chinese. The doctor wanted to send me for Xray to see if my bones are fractured. However the Xray department is not open today. The doctor examined my foot and told me that it is sprain and not fractured. Hence the doctor suggested acupuncture. I waited for almost 1/2hr before it's my turn to have acupunture. It's not very painful, the feeling is more like ants bites. The medical fee is not very expensive THB300 ~S$13.

After the acupunture session, we left and went for lunch at Yaowarat. A lot of people commented that it's a must to eat shark fin and bird nest at Yaowarat so we definitely shouldnt miss it.
Who's YQ calling?

We saw Hai Wai Tian Shark’s fin restaurant (Address: 461 Yaowarat Road, Opening hours: 11am - 12am) and decided to have our lunch here as I dont want to walk to far.

We ordered 4 dishes and all taste mediocre. The shark fin fare better, the oyster omlette and fried rice are quite salty and the bird nest soup taste more like jelly. This meal cost us THB745 ~ S$32 which is not cheap.

We passed by a pomegranate juice stall and I bought one bottle to try. The juice is very sweet and cost THB50 ~S$2.50. It's expensive for such a small bottle.

We took a cab back to the hotel and rest until evening before we went out for dinner. Finally, I can went out for dinner after quarantined in the hotel for 2 days. Even though my foot is still in pain but at least I could walk for a distance now.

We wanted to take a cab to Queen of Curry (Address: 49 Charoenkrung Road, Soi 50 Bongrak, Bangkok 10500) but there are no cab for us to hail. In the end, we took BTS to Saphran Taksin station and walk to Queen of Curry which is 5min away (Opposite Robinson).

He's so greedy
We ordered 3 dishes, all are nice except the green curry. The meat is a bit tough which makes it not nice. The Tom Yam here is not very spicy and sweeter. This meal cost us THB$450 ~ S$20.

After our dinner, we walked to Lebua hotel. I purposely visit Lebua Sky bar today to avoid the surcharge on New Year eve. From distance, Lebua hotel looks near but we spent about 15min walking there.

We took the lift to 63rd floor where the sky bar is. Mezzaluna (indoor) and Sirocco (outdoor) restaurants are also located on the 63rd floor.

We ordered a cocktail to share. The cocktail is not cheap THB530 ~ S$23. One visit for the experience is enough. The night scenary of Bangkok is not spectacular too.

We left Skybar after spending half an hour there. We went to the Lebua hotel lobby to take a look before boarding a cab back to the hotel.
