When I was in Bangkok. (yeah I want to start that way lol)
I booked this flight last November 2012 with Roz for August 1 to 6, 2013. She wanted to see her Mario Maurer and I wanted to ride elephants!!! (And then Mario and Baifern were in Trinoma Mall that Saturday, August 3. Bummer.)
We've arrived in Thailand around 9:40AM and I have to say Suvarnabhumi Airport is very beautiful like their country. We chose a taxi over the BTS Airport link simply because I don't know how it works (well not work work) but they say it's way cheaper.
Day 1. Temple Run.
We got a Tuk-Tuk (Taxi, not the metered taxi) to get us to 3 temples for the day for 300 Baht. (really got ripped off but hey, no hate there though). We really had no clue on what to ride to get where we want.
- Wat Benchamabophit (The Marble Temple)
Inside the temple we can sit and pray on to Buddha, there were some exclusive for monks.
- Wat Intharawihan (32 meter high standing Buddha)
We got a chance to understand what was the gold-paper-like-thing and sash on Buddha. And I managed to take a video of it.
- Wat Phra Kaew (The Temple of Emerald Buddha)
Last stop for our Tuk-Tuk driver which we practically weren't able to see because to it was about to close (it closes at 4:00PM). We did still manage to take pictures outside though.
From Wat Phra Kaew we walked to Khao San Road (about 15-20mins) and got ourselves a tour for Ayutthaya and Bang Pa-In for the next day. Got our dinner in Pad Thai Restaurant in Khao San. It's really good...I still can taste it...lol.
In this kind of trip you have to pack a lot of patience. When people say language barrier, believe it!
