A mix of all kinds of music swaying in from the open bars, lights dancing to the beat every now and then and the streets that never seem to sleep…Bangkok was an interesting end to the journey!
We took the overnight bus from Phuket, thus making the experience a little more local and a little more fun. Reaching the city as it woke up, the sun somewhere there just behind the buildings, made the 11 hour journey totally worth it!
Our home for the next 4 days was just at the corner from Khao San Road, Bangkok's nightlife destination. Rambuttri Village Inn and Plaza, a quaint touristy hotel, was perfect and surprisingly great for budget travellers. We spent nights walking the streets, discovering something new every day.
A day donning sun hats and jumping from one tourist spot to another is a day well spent! The sights are endless here…right from the enchanting Big Buddha, the temples, and the old houses to the clean streets, and mall lined roads.

Walking around the temple compound, the architecture telling you stories and the quiet engulfing you and calming you down, is the best way to spend the mornings here. We took an impromptu long tail boat ride around the city canal and that easily tops the best experience list. We laughed, tossed and turned in the boat, sighted old yet charming houses and made friends with a friendly crocodile that chilled outside one of the houses. Scary? Nah!
We finished our days with dinner in one of the many restaurants at Khao San Road with candle lights and ambience as sides. And then walked the food off by scouting the shops for trinkets and souvenirs. A wooden frog that croaks and a plastic duck that shrieks…Brilliant!
It was a task to say my goodbyes to the place that offered so many adventures and dreams. But as they say (or i say!)…When one adventure is over, another begins!
Its a beautiful place isnt it?
