The Chatuchak Weekend Market is intense. Only open from Friday night through Sunday the market sells everything. Need shoes? Done. Jeans? Done. Souvenirs? Done. A new furry friend? Yup. Decoration for your house. Definitely. Boob shaped novelty soap? Can't go five feet without finding some. With a mix of indoor and outdoor shops the market has [...]
On my fourth day (full day) in Bangkok I got up really early. Well, early for a person on vacation and I was super excited. I ate breakfast quickly and sat in the lobby, checking my phone and waiting for my ride. I had booked a cooking class that was suppose to pick me up [...]
After Wat Pho I was starving, so I sat down and pulled out my copy of Lonely Planet's guide to Bangkok and searched for someplace nearby that had lunch and if I was lucky AC. I settled on the Coconut Palm and headed off. I spent a half hour going back and forth across the [...]
On my second day in Bangkok I really really wanted to go to the Grand Palace and Wat Pho but the heat got to me. I ate a big breakfast, had some street food and just couldn't make it. It was a sad terrible defeat and I ended up spending the rest of the day [...]
Every country has their street food. Little stands on the side of the street selling delicious smelling foods. I didn't even make a dent in the amount of foods offered but I did try a bit. Click on the photos to read little bit more on some of the things I tried.

While I was in Bangkok I happened to be there at the same time the Lights of Happiness were up in front of City Hall which happened to be near my hostel. For most of the month of January and the end of December the lights were up and they had different events going on [...]
I went to Bangkok alone. Everyone I knew was busy or already had plans and spending my 2 weeks of vacation doing nothing just seemed like a waste. So when I got a message from my friend Emily saying she was in Bangkok I was really surprised. With our glitch-y wifi throughout the day we [...]
In Siam Paragon, in the basement is an aquarium. And I love aquariums. After going through more security and down an escalator past all the decorations for shark week I went and bought my ticket. There wasn't a line and the aquarium wasn't very packed. I think most of the school groups had just left [...]
On my first full day in Bangkok I spent a bit of time trying to decide what to do. After an almost hour long conversation with a friend, he suggested I check out the malls only 3-4 khlong boat stops away. I first popped my head in the Palladium since it was the easiest to get [...]
