Chao Phraya River Bangkok

Today we got up and went on an amazing tour. We left the Sukosol about 8 and got on a small minibus with other people. The tour guide spoke good English, and she was full of stories and information about Bangkok. After getting the rest of the group, we got on the river boat and went down the Chao Phraya River. We stopped at both the Grand Palace …

Nous sommes arrivés à Bangkok peu après 8h du matin par le vol de Dubai. Nous avons passé la douane sans encombres. Chargé de nos sacs à dos et après avoir pratiquement rien dormi dans le vol de nuit nous avons pris le train de l'aéroport jusqu'à Bangkok, puis le métro et enfin le "Skytrain". Carla fut très impressionnée et intimidée par cette …

Hi Friends and family!

I'm finally writing my travel blog. This post will be about Bangkok Thailand, where I flew into when starting this adventure. When my 27 hour flight finally landed in Bangkok, I was determined to still feel up for a sense of adventure and as recommended by Kur, I took the Bangkok Skytrain and a taxi to our luxurious …

My hometown is in the Philippines, but I haven't been to other neighboring Asian countries. So I was really happy to know that we are traveling to Thailand.

At the thought of being there makes me feel that I "belong" (I think you know what I mean). My friend says that it is really a good place especially if you like beaches and cheap …

We got up this morning about 9am. I wasn't feeling too crash hot but we went downstairs and had breakfast at the Novotel. This morning we got eggs on toast but the lady didn't speak English so we ended up with two really well cooked eggs, one broken egg and one under cooked egg. We split the good ones and then got some fried rice, little frankfurts …

Nuestro paso por la capital tailandesa, fue en varios momentos, similar al que tuvimos en Kuala Lumpur, es decir, relajado y viendo que cosas nos habían quedado por hacer desde la última vez. Aunque el tiempo en que habíamos estado era bastante mayor que en la capital de Malasia (en KL, habíamos estado hace dos meses y medio, mientras que en …

The last week has been my longest time gap between blog entries. Why? I forgot about our travel blog. Why? Because we are in Bangkok.

The journey from Koh Samui to our hotel in central SIlom was almost seamless. It was easy and pleasant which are the first two adjectives I would choose to describe Thailand. However we have seen glimpses, …

Hari ini jadwalnya adalah mengelilingi Grand Palace, Wat Pho, Wat Arun, Khaosan Road. Saya harus cepat-cepat untuk mengejar jadwal free tour yang disediakan Grand Palace. Free tour paling pagi adalah jam 10.00. Saya naik BTS ke Sala Daeng untuk dilanjutkan naik perahu menuju ke Grand Palace.

Grand Palace sangat bagus, warga Thailand sangat …

no sight-seeing today, just chilling by the pool in 30degrees (bliss) which we promised ourselves we'd do to get into the rhythm of the trip before we leave for Cambodia on Monday. Fabulous infinity pool at the Chatrium looking right up the Chao Phraya river. Maia and I remembered saying 'this time next week we'll be in Bangkok' when we were at …

So I made it! Pleasantly surprised that I managed to catch the flight without any major catastrophes, I safely landed in Kuala Lumpur International Airport, having seemingly lost a day somewhere. As a good British citizen, I of course found the first queue to join. After some time, when I was close enough to read the board with my travel weary eyes …
