Your trip to Thailand would be incomplete without visiting its capital city Bangkok. Every tourist will find something to their taste here since this metropolis harmoniously combines the spirit of East and West, ancient and modern, traditional and up-to-date. Bangkok is also a gateway to other Thai cities so even if it’s not your final destination in Thailand, you should definitely spend at least several hours here and see its major attractions. You can always find the cheapest business-class tickets to Bangkok via cheapfirstclass.com.
Grand PalaceThe Grand Palace is a number-one attraction in Bangkok and visiting it is a must. Built in 1782, it served as a royal residence for centuries. Although the present king doesn’t reside here, the building is still used for official ceremonies. The palace complex is a true masterpiece: after seeing it, you’ll understand why Bangkok is called the City of Angels (Krung Thep).
Temple of the
Emerald Buddha
There are about 400 Buddhist temples in Bangkok but the most important and most visited one is the Temple of the Emerald (or Jade) Buddha. It’s situated right on the territory of the Grand Palace so you’ll have an opportunity to see two main attractions at once. The temple is famous for its highly revered statue of Emerald Buddha carved from a block of jade. The inside walls of the temple’s compound are covered with numerous mural paintings depicting the scenes from the famous epic "Ramayana".
Temple of
Dawn
Situated on the bank of the Chao Phraya River, this temple encrusted with colorful porcelain stands majestically over the water. Despite its name, it’s especially beautiful at the sunset. The Temple of Dawn is one of the most photographed symbols of Thailand. Its central pagoda (a many-tiered tower), which has the height of a 20-storey building, is the highest in the country. If you climb up the stairs to the balcony, you’ll be awarded a stunning and breathtaking view of the river and the surroundings.
Bangkok
National Museum
If you’re interested in Thai art and history, then the Bangkok National Museum will be a perfect place to gain insight into or at least get acquainted with it. Being the largest museum in Southeast Asia, it houses one of the best and richest collections of art and artifacts. Due to its scale, be ready to spend here several hours so plan your visit accordingly.
Chatuchak
Weekend Market
Those who can’t imagine their trip without shopping should definitely visit the Chatuchak Weekend Market. Although Bangkok is full of shopping malls and markets, none of them can be compared to the Chatuchak Weekend Market. With 15,000 booths divided into 27 sections, this is one of the largest markets in the world. You can find virtually everything here and buy it at a local (not tourist) price.
Lumpini Park
This is the largest public park in the city where you can escape from the hustle and bustle of the city center and get a reviving breath of fresh air. There are a lot of things to see and do here. You can go for a boat ride on the artificial lake or just stroll around the park watching local people.

Congratulations to the winners of Brand Ambassador 2016 competition held at Fisher Mall in Quezon City.
Grand Winners: Renzbert Tiu & Joyce Anne Perez Elamparo Prestige Models Management could very well be proud of their discoveries. Hoping these young ladies will soon conquer the modeling industry with their fabulous presence.
Last June 17, 2016, Burger King branch in Connecticut,
Greenhills just held it’s cheesiest, messiest event yet. I’m talking about the
4-Cheesiest Messiest Face-Off between the two fellow Magic 89.9 radio jocks,
host, tv personalities (and possible couple?), Sam YG and Joyce Pring. I should
also mention that this event also serves as Burger King’s way of welcoming
Joyce as their newest Ambassador.
The whole face-off has this boxing themed aesthetic to it,
complete with the boxing ring, gorgeous round girls, and as well as our two
stars wearing boxing gear.
Like any other boxing event, the show started with an
“undercard” event. In the undercard, Burger King has invited the bloggers that
were present to participate. It’s basically a burger eating contest with a
twist. The participants must eat the burger within 2 minutes. Instead of using
your hands however, the participant must eat the whole thing using chopsticks.
The first one to finish the whole burger within the time limit wins. Being the
bibo kid that I am, I also joined the contest and was also the one to win the
contest.
After that very stuffed contest, the program then proceeded to
the main event which is Team Joyce and Team Sam’s Cheesiest Face-Off. One by
One, they immediately went to the ring looking very prepared and confident for
this upcoming battle.
After they both entered the ring, the mechanics were then explained. Just like the name of the featured burger, there will be 4 events that Joyce and Sam will participate. The person with the most points wins. In the event that there will be a tie, there will be a tie breaker match.
Round 1 : Stretch - O - War
In Stretch - O - War, both Sam and Joyce are covered with a stretchable “cheese” cloth. There are burgers stationed at both sides. They will then engage in a tug of war and whoever gets to eat the burger first wins.
Winner : Sam
Round 2 : Sticky Mess
In this round,
they will both wear velcro jackets and will dive into an inflatable pool full
of balloons and “cheese” post-its. They will then dive into the inflatable and
try to get as many cheese post-its to stick onto their jacket. The person with
the most post-its wins.
Winner : Joyce
Round 3: Drip Trip
In this round,
they will both wear hard hats with a huge needle on top. Above them are
balloons. The goal of this game is for them to pop the balloon which contains a
cheese sauce. The first person to pop the said balloon wins this round.
Winner : Sam
Round 4: Hole Hunt
For the final
round, a huge cheese wall was presented in front of them with holes in it.
Inside the holes are food items that they must pull out. The goal is to pull
out 4 burgers that were hidden inside these holes. The first person to find all
4 burgers win
Winner : Joyce
Tiebreaker: 4 Cheese Whopper Eating Contest
Due to the
competitiveness of the two contestants, they reached the tiebreaker round. It’s
a simple burger eating contest. The first person to finish the 4 Cheese Whopper
wins the contest.
Winner : Joyce
And just like
that, Joyce wins the whole Face-Off! Congratulations to her for winning and
welcome again for being the newest ambassador of Burger King. The audience also
got to try out the 4 Cheese Whopper towards the end of the event. I really had
fun in the whole face-off and had lots of laughs as well thanks to Sam and
Joyce being energetic, quirky and most of all, being cheesy. For those who
wants to try out the 4 Cheese Whopper, it’s available on all Burger King
Outlets Nationwide.
Congratulations to Team Suzuki Pilipinas, namely April King Mascardo, Eane Jay Sobredo and Mario Borbon Jr., for their outstanding record-breaking wins at the previous races held in different countries in Asia. You made us Filipinos proud again for having talented fellow Filipinos who could easily outwit and stand out among the other races in international competitions.
In honor of the three, Suzuki Philippines held a victory party at the F1 Hotel on June 16 to celebrate the magnificent wins of these three motorcycle riders representing the Philippines.
With the Indonesians identified as their toughest competitor, Team Suzuki Pilipinas would want to come up with a strategy to prevent further "targeting" by the said competitor. At a video playback shown at the victory party, we saw how one of the members of Team Suzuki Pilipinas was boxed in so he won't get the chance to lead the race. However, it was fortunate that our team never lost the determination to succeed no matter how the competition is seemingly becoming unfairly aggressive.
The night was filled with music and beer after the short program led by Hiroshi Suzuki and the rest of Suzuki Philippines. We had a short interview with Hiroshi San and also with Team Suzuki Pilipinas so watch out for them in our YouTube channel at http://www.YouTube.com/user/wazzuppilipinas

Alpha Strength offers Power Lifting, Olympic Weight Lifting and Fitness Classes.
“At Alpha Strength, you are not just forced to do reps, you are made to do things at your own pace. The number of work and the number of sets is up to you, it would depend on what you can handle. Compared to other gyms, we are really strength-based”, Coach A says.
