A beautiful evening in Bangkok

-


A Spur of the moment decision to go out. My good friend Nicolas suggested this spot for a sunset cocktail.
Well, it was absolutely idyllic. The sunset, the temple in the background and the setting was just all perfect.
From now on we decided to explore more of this kind of venues over weekends.
Let the pictures tell you.

Camping under the Stars: Erawan National Park

-

If you are planning a trip to Thailand or are already here and want to experience a night or two sleeping under the stars this might just be the right adventure for you. Thailand has many National Parks and certainly one of the most beautiful is Erawan National Park. On this Camping adventure, you will experience the tranquillity of nature, hiking the waterfalls and just general relaxation. The waterfalls are the main attraction of course and you can hike up to the seventh level if you are reasonably fit. On the way up, there are a few natural pools where you can take a dip in refreshingly cool water. The river is next to the campsite and adds to the peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. There are also fish in the pools and if you take a dip they will nibble on your legs but not to be feared. Just think of it as the natural version of a foot spa where you get nibbled for free 😃. Erawan National Park is about 3  hours from Bangkok and could be busy during weekends and hol...

How to get around on Bangkok's buses.

  Bangkok is pretty much a modern world-class city with buzzing markets, fancy shopping malls, exciting nightlife and many more. Truly the stuff of many travel dreams.  But it is also a city deeply rooted in culture.  If you ever want to get a real-life glimpse of this exotic culture mix you should at least take a ride on one the many city buses.   Although they're not everybody's favourite means of transport, this is the real hardcore Bangkok and the cheapest way to get around for most people including me. From old to new, many colours and cheap. It is clear that these buses have been around for a long time but they all seem to be in working order. They are all different colours and the bus fair seems to fit with the comfort of the bus.  If it is an open air bus you will probably pay around 10 baths. For the air-conditioned buses, it is around  15-20 bath and the really expensive modern hybrid ones are about 25 baths or more....

How we got lost. I had been to Chinatown b efore with friends but this time it was different.   From the moment we got off the bus we were lost.   I thought I could navigate from memory how to get to Sam paeng Lane and Yeowarat Area, but of course, I was totally wrong.  We ended up walking up and down in alleyways and side streets. Although, the locals tried to direct us in the right way it was not much help. I think the heat  just got to us.  It took us a rather long time to finally get to the Yeowarat Area.    Fresh Durian for sale So we have learned the hard way that in busy parts of the city planning is key. But not everything was lost. We did eventually get there.  Needles to say we suffered a little  from“ heat stroke", fatigue and hunger. Lucky for us there were plenty of delicious street food to pick and choose from. Why you should go. For everyone with a sense of Adventure, a day  in Chinatown with i...
