At the Chern hostel the night before I left I booked a taxi ride to the airport. It was 400 baht. My flight was leaving around 8am so I was ready to leave at 4am. It was dark and cold and a bit confusing to explain that I was going to Seoul rather than back [...]

Khaosan Road
When I was talking to some friends about going to Bangkok one suggested not planning anything and just going straight to Khaosan Road. I was told Khaosan Road had plenty of places to stay at and tons of foreigners so I could easily find some travelers and ask for advice at some cafe. I'm not [...]
Blue Tree CoffeeBar
After the Golden Mount I tried to exit closer to the road I would take back to the hostel and some how ended up on the wrong street. I hadn't realized there were so many exits from the temple. But luckily this exit put me on a street with a small cafe. I went in [...]
Wat Saket The Temple of the Golden Mountวัดสระเกศราชวรมหาวิหาร
344 shuffling steps, monks, a stupa and a history of vultures eating the dead is the Golden Mount. Since the weather was cool and along my way back to the Chern Hostel I stopped by the Golden Mount. I was expecting it to be a long hike to the top, but it was more of gentle ascent [...]
Jim Thompson House
On my last full day in Bangkok the temperature was still surprisingly cool. Almost cold. I'm not sure if it was the cool refreshing weather or that it was my last day but I ended up having a lot more energy than I had the rest of the week. So on my way back from [...]
Silom Cooking Class
In the midst of booking my first cooking class I ended up double booking classes from different schools which worked out since my first choice forgot me. The class I ended up taking was at Silom Cooking School. I booked it for my last day in Bangkok as a relaxing morning with a delicious lunch. [...]
Wat Arun Temple of Dawn
After my tour of the floating market my tour guide suggested that I visit Wat Arun. She got me to the pier to cross the river to get to the temple and I made my way over. It was only a couple baht to cross and not too long of a wait. The temperature had [...]
Khlong Lat Mayom Floating Market
Bankok has a market for everything it feels like. Flower markets, night markets, flashlight markets, weekend markets and even floating markets. On the morning of my first day in Thailand I tried to sit and plan things I wanted to do. I wanted to do day tours and little trips but I was worried about [...]
Brown Sugar Jazz Boutique
I visited Brown Sugar because I was drawn to the idea of live jazz and missing the wonderful jazz bars I went to in Prague. So I mentioned it to one of my hostel mates and we headed out, early, in the hopes of getting good seats and being able to get dinner before it got packed [...]
Rancha Tearoom ร้านชา
In Bangkok I used a couple different apps to get around, where to eat and what to do. Google maps on my phone worked wonderfully. As long as when I was in wifi I had typed in the destination all I had to do was follow the route offline with my little blue dot, or [...]
