Bangkok Day 3

This is the last post of Bangkok.It was the last day and we still owed visits to two more famous temples in Bangkok called Wat Arun(The Dawn Temple) and Wat Pho(The reclining Buddha Temple).

As we didn't want to soak wet again like the first two days,we went there early in the morning.The highlight of Wat Arun is,you can climb up to certain point allowed to visitors and from up there you can have a look of Bangkok.However,one thing that you have to be careful of is,the stairs to the upper side of the temple are very steep,so we always had to take the very best care of ourselves from climbing up to stepping down the stairs.

But,it was worth the climb as you can see a part of Bangkok from up there ;-)

Another one is Wat Pho,also known as The temple with reclining Buddha,as it has a very big reclining golden statue of buddha.

Well,we felt so relieved that we finally visited almost all of the attractions in Bangkok even when the weather was damn hot :P

Enjoy the pictures!

P/s : If you want to have more info about Bangkok,please don't hesitate to let me know by email or drop comments here ;-)

Bangkok Day 2

Second day was like the toughest and hottest day during our trip.And,I almost fainted because of dehydration.

First thing in the morning,we went to Chatuchak weekend market that said to have over 2000 stalls selling many kinds of stuff.We went there early in the morning when the owners were just about to open their stalls.If you're good enough at bargaining,you can get things at very cheap prices here.

The next destination was Vimanmek mansion(old royal residence) and few other institutions belonged to the royal family.The attire code here is quite strict,if you come with short skirt for example,you need to rent the special skirt(sarong) before entering any of the buildings.The displays in one of the buildings were very nice but unfortunately,photography wasn't allowed inside it.

Later that day we went to MBK,another shopping mall to have lunch as it said there is a food court selling halal food there.

One thing I like about Bangkok is that it has many nice and cool shopping malls ;-)

Again,we needed to step inside air-conditioned building,so we went to Siam Paragon,an exclusive shopping malls with many high-end brands and had our coffee over there.

Bangkok part 3 will come soon,

Till then.

Bangkok Day 1


Hello peeps,
So,as I mentioned in earlier post,I was out of town heading to Bangkok for a weekend getaway.It was an awesome experience,Bangkok itself offers a lot of things that you should not miss,however there is one thing I can't cope with it,it's super hot weather :(

If you ask me whether I like Bangkok or not,I do,but if I were given another chance to come back here one day,there's a doubt left inside me.I don't know how to describe its weather,you'll be soaking wet under the sun and you don't consider food at this moment even if you're starved,but drinking a lot of water,which I don't really do as my daily routine :P

However,here are tons of pictures from Bangkok and hope you'll enjoy seeing them.
