Sawadeeka Krung Thep

I had been to Bangkok Twice in 5 months time....so i think instead of answering questions like "y always go?", "u like thailand so much?", " nice to visit meh?", i think is it the best i post up wat i had been doing in bangkok over here , to answer those questions.

For both of the trips, i backpack there, no joining any tour from malaysia, coz i find those itinery BORING! (they go to zoo, waterpark, crocodile farm....just like wat we have over here) I want to see how ppl live in Bangkok.

Grand Palace (250baht)

- 1 of the must visit in all travel guide, after all..seldom u get a chance to visit palace right? Not sure about europe country, but in Malaysia, u can only stand outside the gate of the Palace, and see only trees.

The entrance fees had include entrance fees to Vimanmek Mansion as well.

Everyday, they have few sessions of free guided tour, in english .




Khao San Road

- a place full of guest house, backpacket lodge, budget inn.. and tourist!

You can buy food , backpack, clothes, souvenirs, liquor, slippers and even DEGREE CERT, DIPLOMA CERT, INTERNATIONAL DRIVING LICENSE, Intl STUDENT CARD here!!
Just give then your picture, if u don't have, they can take for u, and come back later to take. Ta- dah!!! there you go, a graduate is "produced".

other than that, they have this small little mobile pub by the road side, where u can order a "BUCKET" of liquor, which all the liquor will be pour into that small bucket, and you are giving a straw to drink.

Too bad that i did not have a pic of that....coz i scare that i'll be chopped up.

Erawan Shrine

A very famous place, even among hongkees, those artists & singers always go pray there. This is the new statue, after the previous one had been destroy by a mad guy. This place is crowded with people from day till nite.

There are dancers for employ to dance for the God. Ppl do so when they "thanks God". (还神)

Jim Thompson House

A Thai style house, which is belong to Jim Thompson, founder of Thai Silk company. According to many guide books, he had dissappear in Cameron Highland and never return.(http://www.jimthompsonhouse.com/)

We did not go in as its almost closing time, just took some pic outside.

Vimanmek Mansion

The world largest Golden Teak Wood Building. It did not use single nail for the construction.

They have the compulsory guided tour here. This place was used to be a Palace for few years. They exhibit the king's bedroom, bahtroom, working room, and all sort of souvenirs that the King received throughout the years. As camera is not allowed in the building, i do not have any interior picture. Go visit this place personally, is worth it.
