Ida Bjerga: One day in B A N G K O K

Somehow we ended up having a lot of "one day" in the big cities. And this way we learned how to see alot in a short time. Bangkok were no exception. We had 1,5 days in Bangkok before heading south to Koh Phangan and the famous full moon party.

During over short stay in Bangkok we managed to squeeze in most of the highlights. We drove a tuktuk, had a drink on a roof top bar, drank buckets and parties on Khao San Road, had a hangover, and a massage. We saw the Grand Palace (only from the outside..), wandered around the 19th century temple of Wat Arun, went on a riverside cruise, saw Siam Square and Bangkoks biggest mall. We drank bubble tea, milkshakes and coffee, we ate Phad Thai twice, Tom Yum soup, Massaman curry, fried rice and pancakes. And we saw half of the "hangover 2" movie (on the hostel, because of our hangover from Khao San Road).

The point is - you can see and do alot in 1,5days.

When in Bankok driving a tuk tuk is almost mandatory. Its fun, and you get to see alot of the city. Skip
those normal cabs.

We got tricked, we´re not sure how because we are usually quite good at not falling into the tourist traps.
But anyways, we got trickets into go sightseeing by boat by the riverside. Its a short, overprices trip. And
you don´t get to see alot because most of the temples are hidden behinde huge walls or trees, also
the water is quite dirty which makes it uncosy.
But we did however have a lot of fun feeding the fishes on a mandatory "buy
some bread and feed the fishes" stop.

Woop woop riverside cruise.

Eat ALOT of thai food, its soo good! Eat Tom Yum Soup, Massaman curry, Phad Thai.. and drink
lots of icecoffee and bubble tea! Thailand definitly got the best food in Asia.

The Grand Palace

Wat Arun

Shopping in Lopburi Zone, and around Siam Square. Extremly cheap clothing, and
they´re quite cool aswell. We bough some high heels that we draged with us for 5 weeks in Asia
and I still haven´t used them back home.
