  • Day 48 – Part 1 – Bangkok

    Today we woke up early and had to pack our bags so we could go to the airport. Since we had sent some items back to Melbourne with our friends (thanks again), we thought packing would be easier. WRONG! Even without those excess items the bags still felt full. Since 4J Lodge was hard to […]

  • Day 47 – Bangkok

  • Day 46 – Bangkok

    Today we walked from 4J Lodge to the Grand Palace. Its something we wanted to do for a while, but due to the early closing time (3:30pm) we had been putting it off until we could dedicate a day to it. While walking there we met another local on the street who asked us where […]

  • Day 44 – Bangkok

    As we walked around the massive China Town midnight market, we could see souvenirs and items for 1/3 or less of the price we saw at other shops. Of course there were some minimum purchase amounts. Being overweight and not wanting to carry excessive amounts of cheap items around the world we kept our purchases […]

Ayutthaya Historical Park Wat Yai Cha Mongkol The tour consisted of 4 mini buses and one English speaking tour […]

  • Day 41 – Pai to Bangkok

    Today was the final day of our short stay in Pai. It is definitely somewhere we want to come back to. As we waited at our accommodation Pril Pai Guesthouse for the pick up by the bus company, we started getting worried as it was 10 minutes past the pick up time. The Guesthouse owner […]

    Today we left our accommodation and used a Grab (which is a Uber like app) to travel from Baron Residence Bangkok to my first hostel called Oh Bangkok Hostel, closer to the touristy Khao San Road. By the time we got to the hostel it was mid afternoon. The lobby area was nice, but while […]

  • Day 28 – Bangkok

    Today was another day of planning our Thailand master plan. Nothing really happened to report. We walked around Bangkapi near our accommodation and ended up having dinner at the same place as last night since the owner was so friendly and the food was delicious. Feeling regret since we should do more planning in advanced, […]

This required us to take a train from within the airport […]
