hyuk hyuk hyuk

next, a trip to africa.

very happy when reading this post.

how about a trip to my state? wait, make it my hometown? or even better, my house.

LMAO, funny post!

Lol, someone is sore.

Tulan dog rocks! Concur with above posters.

haha.. i will always remember the coconut! haha.. guess that the painting is really really nice though! The dogs.. arr..!!!

Kenny, the act of bring those hamsters into an airplane is EXTREMELY dangerous.
I repeat again, it's an EXTREMELY DANGEROUS act to do.
If those hamster were to get lost inside the cabin and were to make their way through the aircraft's avionic bay and bitting off wires, you are going to be putting hundred of people's life in danger when the aircraft gets into trouble during future flights.
I hope I've gotten this into you and never to fool around with aviation regulations.
Have a nice day.

Ya Kenny go AFRICA !!!

i want one of those shirts,too!!

n what WERE u thinking?? hamsters inside ur pockets!? they can still chew their way thru ur pockets to ur testicles if they'd wanted to, u know..

LOL

LOL! 15 BATHS! LOL!

With fences that low, wouldn't the bunnies hop out?

COCONUTS!!! haha!

Oh my gosh, you actually brought over the hamster from Thailand?!! Becareful, wait they fine you hor, for smuggling hamster. No joke,animals even as tiny as hamster should not be on flight. Hope the authority didnt read your blog...hehe

Lolz. The things Kenny do to get it his way. Nice t-shirt btw. XD

Kenny,
Ya better pray and hope that the authorities don't find out bout this, even if your Hams dint get loose on the plane, they could still fine you or even put you in jail...

Anyways...hope they're lazy enough not to do so ^^

Cheers!!

Love those small,cute animals.:D

and LOL at the shirt!:p

i want to join your team !

can u guys just stfu and stop pretending that you know all about aviation regulations and doing all the knight-in-shining-armor routine.

I just hoped those hamsters did not carry any diseases that may affect human... remember the movie OUTBREAK?

kenny without a blog=loser with tits.

Kenny,

Your Team must be the one with the short dick.

I recommend the next destination that you should head to be, Antarctica.

Why did you not smuggle the hedgehogs back?

Omg the dogs are so cute!! not like pet stores in malaysia. u cant even touch the dogs becoz they are locked up in a...glass box. how pathetic. u make me wanna go there and buy a dog! =)

Love the pets, especially the tulan ones, and oh, nice shirt!

Go to ULU KAPIT lah!!

when i was there i bought a shirt that said "Don't laugh, this is your girlfriend's shirt" .. lol .. i say PAWNED !

you actually brought the hamsters back to kch without being caught? awww... i like that sheepdoggies. :D

Kenny, you really go and buy those hamster??? Yeah, went to chatuchak before, and they sell squirell last time, pretty cruel though, they tie a string on its feet to prevent them escaping >_

Wah , fierce hamster manzzzzz..... You should get a guinea pig instead of hamster

saw any jackass there?

Kenny Sia = Hamster

Fido Dido = Coca-Cola

or... is it Sprite.....

Well, u r right about our Petaling Street. I was once scolded and shouted by a Bangladeshi selling fake Rolex, cos I was watching and refuse to bargain when they asked me how much I want at one of the stall. Bloody rude..like a gangster. Anyway, the Sunday Market really got everything in it. That's why I make sure I always in Bkk on a Sunday. A visit to Bkk without going to the Sunday Market is uncomplete ! Do you know that alot of our Boutique clothing(for ladies ) and also Supermarket's clothing comes from Sunday Market ? They only localise the Brand...

hahaha... u better check all your hamsters for cancer hor...

OMG! The dogs are so cute! Super cute wei! How much are they roughly? Hrm I wonder if it's possible to go to Bangkok and just buy a dog? AH OMG... I cannot stand this. Too much cuteness going on in your blog today.

THANK YOU FOR THE TIPS! NOW I KNOW WHAT TO DO IF I DECIDED TO BRING HOME A DOG!HAVE A NICE DAY!

Love the coconuts, t-shirts and Buddha sculptures. However, just to inform everyone, please DO NOT buy dogs/puppies from places like Chatuchak or any roadside vendors. These dogs are from puppy mills. For more info, read up at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puppy_mills
The dogs there all live in horrible conditions, and they are kept only to breed as much as possible. If you want to get a dog, buy from a reputed pet shop or adopt one from SPCA.

went there too! but argh!!! sadly i didnt get to c those adorable pups n stuff!! t-shirts there are really nice.. except those perverted kinds la.. disgusting. @.@

clever u... hamsters made it all the way to KCH! hehe.. cool.

oooh... the red t-shirt. haha... that's the shirt u wore to your birthday party right? lol... funny lar!

OMG!!!! i love the dogs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks for being an online- tour book! will definitely visit bangkok next summer!!

Haha..I have those splat thingies! :D I have the egg,the tomato and the dick.And yeah,Chatuchak is the best!I frequent Thailand so often so I never fail to shop in Chatuchak.You must go MBK to try the food there.In the food court there's this stall that sells like stewed pork.It's one of the best in Thailand,the stall owner is some thai dude who can speak a variety of languages cos he's had tonnes of customers from literally everywhere.And it's easy finding the stall cos the dude will be the one speaking to you in mandarin,canton,or whatever when you pass by and it's one of the most busiest stalls there. and you must go to Chinatown to try the glutinous balls filled with black sesame in ginger soup.Arrgh...telling you this makes me wanna go to Bangkok just for the food.haha..

To "I am a chicken with no name", just for your information, you happen to meet me who knows all about air legislation as it's also my job to keep aircraft airworthy. Please respect the regulations otherwise u'll put hundreds of people to unnecessary danger.
Thanks for listening.

that tulan dog is a pug! i love pug! got one at home now!

don't support puppy breeders! adopt from spca!

wow.. hamsters there sure are cheap.. i jz came back from Bangkok last week.. most unfortunate that my holiday ended on a Friday.
Oh well, at least it gvs me a reason to go back there!!.. i wanna play wif the poochies, try the manggo sticky rice and SHOP!!!

Honestly i think kids nowadays know all sort of things, so no need to take down the photo la.

cool tops...

i totally heart the scuplture, very subjective though, why don't you buy one and put it at your place, i bet it will be an interesting piece that people will talk about if they go by your place.

anyways, i saw you on mtv for the battle of the bands.

cheers,
missunpredictable

If only we had a market like that in Singapore..

hey kenny.better check your hamsters got SARS virus or not,don't play play Oo...

waaah Kenny, quite a risky act you took there for taking the hamster I must say. You never know where they have been, but wish everything is okay though.

take good care.

TULAN DOG ROCKS ass!!!! Spent about 2 mins having staggering laughs at it. (i.e. look.. laugh.. look... laugh, LOL)

Somehow the part of you thinking of smuggling the hamsters inside your shorts reminds me of Ratatouille :P

the blob thing i saw few yrs bac then in hk...they even got the female's part...

Hahaha you take really beautiful pictures ! You should get your hamsters MyCards since their Malaysians now or immigration might deport them back to Thailand :)

OMG. Tis place rocks.... I feel like going there now...Thanks kenny for posting about this.=D
Anyway ul kill ur hamsters by keeping them in ur pocket. Trust me...Im a hamster fan...Until they all died killed by my sis.

wow.. the deshell coconuts really cool lar.. but do you have to wash it before eating the meat? Tsk tsk.. Just curious :)

I really wonder how u managed to bring them through the Kuching airport? I dun think I can smuggle that insanely cute little hedgehog into Singapore though! Haha!

wow. pets (:

Erm....The commenter's do have a point in this post.
Bringing in the hamsters without proper vetting :

1) Might cause mayhem if they were to get loose in the cabin.
2) Animals here might not carry the same kind of immunities as animals in Thailand and might be in danger of contracting them.
3) This one is kinda stupid for a hamster but....It might not have a natural predator here and might populate exponentially like the toads in Australia.

aiks.... too bad.. i miss the mraket whn im in bangkok cos i went thr during weekends...

gosh..i like the red shirt with the daddy potatoes//

ahahahah goshh terror ar u ... seludup haiwan masuk ke Malaysia. haha. Great job.

omg i didn't see the phallus blog thing when i was there....

i did smuggle stuff when i was in airport too last time. xD

oooo the tshirt! iLike. lol!

LOLZ!
"MY TEAM, YOUR TEAM" TEES!

AY. BUT FLACCID-LOOKING LAH.
DROOPING TO THE FLOOR SOMEMORE. ugh.

XD

Looks like lady boy's gone. What happen?

I hope someone did not make an issue over something small like that..

why not a hedgehog!!!

so cutee!!
i would if i could but sg customs...u know.

Agree with laby. Very happy cause so many cute pictures! ^__^ Omigosh the animals, the potato shirt, the blob, even the smiling Buddha statues are so cute!

Puppies! xD

Kenny, u seems to enjoy yr Chatuchak Shopping. How many hours u spend there?

I spent about 6 hours, which is not enough, but due to very hot weather, so i gave up. I've spent many many bahts there.. cos the thing compared are very very nice and cheap, the quality isn't that bad as well. Of cos they aren't branded thingy lar..

Especially for ladies, clothes and bags and shoes are cheap!!!! If u plan to go KL for new year shopping, why not plan to go BKK for a cheaper and wider range? I'm planning but i'm quite bz lately.. Else i can form a shopping group!

Oh ya,Kenny the "BlobThing" is now available in Msia too. I've bought 3 at BKK last visit, but when got home, found that it's not as sticky as they demonstrate. End up its all bitten by my doggie. Gggg!!!!

Haha. It'll be a waste if buy n don wear.. Chatuchak's nice but quite overpriced leh..

Whenever I head to Petaling St, I would b asked to take a look at items on sale. I would always refuse and told them that I didn't want to be scolded if I didn't buy eventually.. Then they said they won't scold me and I get to browse the items n get away with not buying anything.. probably they scolded me behind my back but at least not in front of me :P

i`ve been there too. i like this post.

Haha but Chatuchak is kind of overcrowded. My mother and I went once and some pickpocket stole all her baht although her pouch was in front of her. :[

Plz forward this msg to everyone, It's bcoz got a ppl who get blood cancer & need B+ blood. Kindly contact Mdm. Soh - +60397418538. Thx 4 your help, It's urgent so hope u all will send it as many as possible!!

Interesting market place... Lot's of things to see eh!

Wow! you are so brave to smuggle hamster back to Malaysia...

Wei Kenny... i saw you at suvarnabhum airport few weeks ago ! Didnt say hi to u afraid it could be someone else. Now i confirm that guy is you.

I wonder if I can smuggle a dog back?

hahah..the dog is tulan like my gold fish

Thanks for sharing your market experience with us! Seriously, I never knew such a market existed in Bangkok.. :P

my 2 sens ...

it's so darn dangerous smuggling those hamsters back. they can get loose in the aircraft and start biting those cables etc or worse, they might also carry diseases and may get you or your family infected. i mean, screw it with the titties pics etc .. but if you truly care about your young readers, you should have thought better about posting your "smuggling" story. it's not being smart or heroic having bypassed immigration or even to show how immigration officers are being careless ... seriously i find it an extremely stupid thing to do.

hie!

i actually saw a similar tee (the dick one) at Ipoh Town night market. XD

but the tee i saw says:

YOURS (smaller dick)
MINE (longer dick)

XDXD

cool you had fun in bangkok, but i guess there's a reason why they set up quarantine and screening rules for animals.. =)

chatuchak is definitely the bomb!

Oh my god! U actually managed to bring the hamsters over! Haha... Only you can do it! Congrats!

I love the shirt! So cute! I want one too!

kenny nice travelling entry you got there. when are you gonna sponsor some loyal readers for an all expense paid trip so that we can join you along ? hehe joking lah, just update us of any upcoming trip lah, if the i have the time, i would love to go travelling to

In Penang, that kinda hamsters are selling at only RM 6.00 nia... maybe in KL also about the same price but nevertheless, it was quite an experience for u to have smuggled them in this way..bravo!! Next time try goldfish. Can stuff them in yr drinking bottle eh??

I think smuggling hamsters onto the plane is a SERIOUS INTERNATIONAL OFFENSE! Kenny, did you know that by smuggling the hamsters onto the plane, you put the whole planeload of people at risk! Imagine what could have happen if they have gotten loose on the plane and chew through some wires in the plane. What the heck were you thinking??? And how could you treat the hamsters in such cruel manner by stuffing them into your bag and subjecting them to dangerous exposures to the Xrays. Now that you've publicly admitted to these heinous acts, I hope the Authorities will do something about this. And to think that Guinness and NTV7 publicly advocate you to promote them. Outrageous!

The staffs at the airport must be sleeping for not detecting hamsters in your bag.. I once accidentally brought a swiss army pen-knife in n waited at the lounge for a few minutes b4 they came running in to look for me :P

Kenny, those hamsters in your photo are Winter Whites not Roborvskis... the ones you brought back ARE roborvskis :P

Looking at the photo that you provide above, I am 80% sure that it's a MAS plane that you are boarding based on the type of carpet, the legs of the chairs and the cover of the seat track. Kenny, I hope you would publicly promise us that you'll not to do such act again, so others will not follow. Remember, you are dealing with other people's live here. Please be considerate.

I have always been a fan of yours but I think it is very wrong for you, as a famous blogger, to post an entry depicting the sale of animals in Chatuchak. You only raved about the experience of seeing these cute little animals. Everyone knows animals are sold there but not everyone knows about the living conditions of these animals. How about thinking about animal welfare issues next time?

Also,smuggling in your hamsters that way is completely wrong. You risked their suffering of those animals.

I frown upon the sale of animals in Chatuchak.

The mothers must have been giving birth non-stop for such markets where the kids are being sold for mere pennies and destroyed once they are not sold and outgrow their cuteness.

And for bringing in live animals by stuffing them in your pockets and backpack? I would've thought any real animal lover would not subject their pets to such torture.

Please Kenny, you can do better than this.

Even though most people are condemning you about bringing your hamsters back, I kinda admire your guts to smuggle them. =P

I'd love to do that, but I guess Singapore authorities are way too strict. =(

Dear pet lovers and animal activists who are disappointed in me purchasing the hamsters from Chatuchak Market,

1. How am I supposed to know the hamsters I bought at Chatuchak Market are not treated decently?

2. How do you know that the hamsters I bought from Chatuchak Market are not treated decently?

3. I think for people to immediately assume that Thai pet vendors treat their pets inhumanely compared to the vendors from other countries smack full of racism. Just because these vendors are from less developed countries does not mean they do not practice humane methods of selling their pets.

4. How do you know the pet vendors in your own country do not "destroy (the baby animals) once they are not sold and outgrew their cuteness"?

5. I have been to pet shops in Malaysia, Singapore, Australia and I can tell you honestly that there is no difference in the way the hamsters are being displayed at the shops in those countries and the hamsters on display at the shop I bought my hamsters from at Chatuchak Market. Come to think about it, the shop I bought the hamsters from treat their hamsters better because they have toys, waters and running wheels whereas the pet shops in Kuching and KL put their hamsters in a small box with none of those amenities.

6. BUTCH, since when did NTV7 advocate me to promote them?

7. I can admit that I am wrong in going against the law by smuggling the hamsters back to Kuching. I did not know I could not bring the hamsters on board because I knew people who have brought dogs and other pets on board before. But in between letting airport security destroy the hamsters, and me saving my hamsters from death by giving them a good home, I chose the latter. And I think I made the correct and a humane choice even if it meant them having to sit in a box in my backpack with food and water for three hours.

8. Merry Christmas.

And I reserve the right to remove all abusive anonymous comments.

If you want to be abusive, at least do not be anonymous. It's one or the other, not both. Else don't even bother leaving a comment 'cos I won't even entertain it.

Well said Kenny.. well said. U could be a good lawyer u know. ;) the hamsters r having a time of their life with that girl of yours.. Even had ice-cream. lol. who knows what wud happen to them if they stay at Chatuchak Market. in a way, u did sort of 'save' them from such hectic places.

Noooo! I just came back from Bangkok too and was going to post! Now everybody's gonna be reading the KennySia review instead. Drats.

Kenny, then again, how are you suppose to know that they'll destroy the hamster?
And again, you put the entire flight of so many people at risk, how does that sound more correct at "saving" a hamster's life to you?
Lastly, look at your readers, they are admiring you for smuggling the hamster and even say now they know a way how to smuggle animal.
I'm here just to point out the severity of the act of smuggling those hamster onto an airplane.
You might have learn your lesson, but the damage you've done to your reader's mind, is still there.
I'm just doing my part for the society.
Hope you don't get upset over my comment.
Thanks.

those knives are cool man, dunno can bring to Kuching or not ho?

eh.. why got a hamster.. u can find tat in kuching also ma.. should have got a hedgehog.. when u run out of toothpick, and juz pluck it off them.. haha...=X

You look excellent with long hair!

just like the baby boy, the tulan dog really kept me laughing!!

Even though its wrong to smuggle back hamsters that way, I wanna say BRAVO!!! and CONGRATS!!!! to you Kenny!!!!! Hamsters will surely love you now...Now if only I have the guts to do wat u did

I think the airport security check is too laxed. At least they could have offered to ship the hamsters back to M'sia after a certain quarantine check. That would have certainly put the pet owners at ease.

definitely looking forward to my BKK trip now. we're hitting the full-moon party too. any ideas what that's like? all ive heard from friends is that its a crazy night of partying.

how come u can take pics at pet area in chatuchak...
i got shoo-ed the other time :(

This blog is really interesting, Bangkok is a place which I always want to go for trip! I have book ticket in 06 but because of some reasons I've to let go the opportunity and wasted my ticket. I'll definitely go to Bangkok one day. ^^

fat nya

good pet shop
