Greetings, esteemed readers of Readme.me. This marks my inaugural post on this esteemed platform. Should any errors or shortcomings be present, I humbly apologize in advance.

Note: The original text is empty, so the translation is also empty.

This review is written by someone who recently visited Bangkok for the first time and is intended for those who have never been to Bangkok. It may be of some use.

The primary purpose of this trip to Bangkok was work-related. After completing work obligations, I took the opportunity to explore the city during the New Year holiday. Without any prior planning, I relied on Google Maps for navigation, embracing the possibility of getting lost along the way.

I am an amateur photographer who enjoys taking pictures, even if I am not very skilled. Please feel free to browse my work.

Without further ado, let's get straight to the point.

December 24, 2016, 4:54 PM: A significant event...taking the train for the first time in my life.

The adventure in the metropolis of Bangkok began at the MRT Chatuchak Park Station. I would like to express my gratitude to a colleague who dropped me off at the station entrance. From there, I ventured underground, heading towards "Hua Lamphong". After a quick call to the call center, I learned that only three train tickets were left for Surat Thani. I rushed to the ticket counter, feeling a surge of anxiety. I purchased a ticket for the first available train, feeling a sense of relief. Following the signs, I made my way to the entrance, recalling a tip I had read online: simply hold a coin near the gate to pass through. To my surprise, it worked! I couldn't help but chuckle at my success. I then waited for the train, which arrived shortly. I boarded and held onto a pole for the entire journey.

The regulations of the train station prohibit photography. As a law-abiding citizen, I refrained from taking any pictures.

"Next station, Hua Lamphong Station, the terminal station. Thank you for using the MRT." Hooray, finally arrived!

After exiting the train, simply follow the signs pointing towards Hua Lamphong Station. There's no need to worry about which exit to take, as any exit will lead you directly to the station.

MRT fare from Chatuchak Park to Hua Lamphong

42 Thai Baht

Don't wait, book your train tickets now!

And then… there were 2 seats left on the way back home. Tears were about to fall.

I can finally go home and start my slow life. 555+

It is currently 5:52 PM. I need to check in to my accommodation immediately. I only booked it yesterday, so I'm not sure what to expect.

To get there, I took the MRT from Hua Lamphong station to Lumphini station. Then, I walked for a long time.

"Here you go, half a kilo... I mean, my weight has decreased by half a kilo, haha! Especially since I'm already thin."

MRT Hua Lamphong to Lumphini 21 Baht

I have arrived at my accommodation for the night, Charlie House. It is an apartment located in the luxurious Twin Bridge Alley (yes, a double bridge!). The cost is 540 baht per night.

Upon arriving at the hotel room and completing the check-in process, I immediately carried my luggage to the room, feeling exhausted. I decided to take a shower first.

Room condition

Corridor hall. 555+

Uncertain whether it's the air conditioner or the tractor making that loud noise, but hey, it's really cool!

The bathroom is rather small. Two towels are provided in the bathroom.

Let's charge the phone (because the army marches on Google Maps), charge the camera battery, and then take a quick shower.

Wait! Today's adventure isn't over yet.

After showering, I decided to explore the city at night. I opened Google Maps and found the next destination: MBK Center. Let's go take some photos! I've seen people taking pictures there, and it looks beautiful. The sky is already dark, so let's go! Grab your camera and let's hit the road!

The journey takes the MRT from Lumpini to Silom for 16 baht and transfers to the BTS Sala Daeng to the National Stadium for 25 baht.

Please leave quickly. The more I talk, the more embarrassed I become. I'm feeling awkward, confused, and probably hungry. Haha.

Arriving at the National Stadium, the final destination. Excitement fills the air as we disembark to capture the iconic sights.

Let the picture tell the story. #SouthWarning has its first event.

Change your target. Walking around MBK is fine.

I don't want to say that I finally got lost in the clothing and accessories zone, if I remember correctly, it's the Fashion Zone on the 3rd floor. It's a maze, I can't find my way out. I walk straight, it's a dead end, I turn, it's a dead end. Help me, please! 55555+

Fortunately, I grabbed the mall map, so I calmed down and walked slowly, and I was able to get out. I'd better go back. 555+ Before I left, I stopped by to buy myself a gift and got a pair of Sony headphones.

Leaving the mall, I grabbed my camera to take a few photos. (I call the mall "friend" because it's so big! 555+)

Travel back to BTS National Stadium > Sala Daeng 25 baht Change to MRT Silom > Lumpini 16 baht Change to Walk 0 baht

In summary, I did not eat rice! I stopped by 7-Eleven to buy water and snacks, went back to my room, ate, took another shower, and went to sleep.

Before going to bed last night, I planned my trip for the following days by marking stars on Google Maps as follows:

Have you visited all the places? Stay tuned to find out.

.........................................................

Awakening from a deep slumber, the insistent chime of the mobile alarm clock pierces the stillness at 5 am. A question arises: why rise at this ungodly hour? The answer: to capture the nascent light of dawn breaking over the metropolis.

After finishing my shower, it was almost 6 pm. I was living the slow life. Then, I set off, but... the lobby door was still closed... Oh no, what should I do now? After standing there for a while, I saw a paper sign next to the stairs saying that if I needed to leave before opening hours, I should call the number listed. I can't remember the number now. I didn't have time to wait, so I hurried back to my room and made the call. Then, I went back downstairs and waited. After a while, a sleepy-looking staff member came and opened the side door for me. I felt so guilty at that moment. I had just woken someone up from their comfortable sleep to open the door for me. After apologizing and thanking them profusely, I hurried off to catch the MRT.

Upon arriving at the MRT Lumphini Station, I confidently approached the ticket counter and requested a "One Day Trip" ticket. To my embarrassment, I realized it was actually a "One Day Pass." The awkwardness of the situation made me want to disappear into the depths of the underground.

The One Day Pass costs 120 baht. I will calculate later whether it is worth it today.

Starting the journey by MRT from Lumpini Station to Queen Sirikit National Convention Center Station (ordinary ticket 19 baht) to take pictures at Benjakiti Park. I was a little worried that the security guards wouldn't let me take pictures, but I decided to give it a try anyway. I thought to myself that I had to go. I was taking pictures to record memories, not for commercial purposes, so it should be okay (I think).

After a one-station MRT ride, I disembarked at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center station and proceeded to walk...

Another event! The gate on the convention center side is still closed, and there are a lot of people queuing up for something. I have to walk a long way to the other side. Will I make it in time?

Finally arrived! Magnificent! I quickly grabbed my camera and, of course, discreetly used a tripod, but I was careful not to obstruct the people who were running for exercise. (Be careful with the camera)

Due to the lighting conditions, I was unable to arrive on time. The sun had already begun to rise. However, the shoot continued without any problems.

The wide lens is not wide enough for me. I'm not happy with the results. I took these photos without thinking, and I didn't compose them at all. I was very excited and afraid of being chased away by the security guards.

And another one, if only I could have captured a wider angle. I forgot to consider taking a panorama at that time.

The photos are all gone. I took many photos, but the rest of them were corrupted. After that, I set up the tripod and took a few photos of myself. The security guard rode his bicycle around and looked at me, but he didn't say anything.

Farewell, Benjakiti Park. Until next time...

Next stop, nearby. Let's try the Khlong Toei market. Find something to eat. An army marches on its stomach.

That's the accommodation near Lumpini Tower, but it's actually quite far away.

What's to eat in the market?

I don't see anything to eat here. I've been walking around and I don't know where I am. 555+ I saw a sign that said "Khlong Toei Market 2" and I walked into the alley, but I'm too lazy to walk anymore and I don't see anything to eat. What should I do?

Drawn by the unmistakable aroma of food, I decided to call it a day and explore the nearby eatery. Exhausted from the day's activities, I opted for convenience, choosing the first establishment I encountered.

Pork leg rice. Guess how much it costs? Hey, 30 baht! Even cheaper than in Surat Thani. The taste is okay, but the rice is a bit hard. Hehe.

Tea is also available for 30 baht.

After a satisfying meal, I settled the bill and returned to my room for another shower. I was drenched from head to toe, and the heat was unbearable. After freshening up, I packed my bags and prepared to relocate to a new hotel. Tonight, I will be staying near Hua Lamphong.

Travel back to your accommodation by MRT from Queen Sirikit National Convention Center Station to Lumphini Station (if using a normal ticket, it costs 19 baht, but I am using a One Day Pass).

Here is the entrance to the accommodation. I didn't take a picture when I first arrived because it was already dark.

After taking my second shower of the day, I will pack my bags and head to my next accommodation. I will be staying at a hostel near Hua Lamphong tonight, but check-in is not until 1 pm, so I will leave my luggage there first.

Take the MRT from Lumphini Station to Hua Lamphong Station (a regular ticket costs 21 baht, but I'm using a One Day Pass).

I reached MRT Hua Lamphong, but I exited through the wrong gate and ended up at the exit next to Hua Lamphong Railway Station. Oh well, time for a detour!

I have arrived at my accommodation for tonight at Hua Lamphong Station. The cost is 850 baht per night. I will take photos of the room and share them after I check in. For now, I will leave my luggage at the storage counter for a fee of 20 baht. The luggage will be kept securely in a locked room.

The MRT Hua Lamphong station exits 1 and 4 are located directly in front of the hotel. However, navigating without proper direction can be challenging.

After dropping off my luggage, I'd like to explore the Hua Lamphong station for a bit. Where are the platforms located? I've never taken a train before.

Our next destination today is either Wat Saket (Golden Mount) or Wat Phra Kaew (Temple of the Emerald Buddha). How should we get there?

I walked around and asked a tuk-tuk driver for 120 baht, which I felt was expensive. After a while, another tuk-tuk driver came up to me and asked where I was going. I told him I was going to Wat Phukhao Thong. At first, he gave me some directions, but I was confused. He then offered to take me there. I asked him how much it would cost, and he said 100 baht. I agreed, even though I thought it was a bit expensive. I figured it wouldn't be much more than 100 baht if I had taken a taxi. Anyway, I got to see the sights, and the driver was friendly. I had a good experience.

Turn into the temple, it's great. However, there is an event! The temple is currently under renovation, but it's okay, let's continue.

We have found the way up. Let's go and make merit together.

Couldn't resist snapping some photos along the way.

Wherever there is a bell, I see people hitting it, so I hit it too.

Upon reaching the top, I was greeted with a hazy, high-angle view of Bangkok. It was my first time witnessing such a sight, and all I could see was smog.

That should be the Grand Palace.

I then went inside to pay respects to the Buddha and make merit, but I didn't take many pictures.

After passing through a small passage, you will reach the golden mountain, a stupa located on top of the mountain. The path is quite narrow with a low ceiling, so taller individuals may need to bend down. Please note that the paths for ascending and descending are separate, and it is forbidden to walk in the opposite direction.

The angle is as wide as it can be. The statue is very large, and I had to step back as far as possible to capture this shot. The image is also tilted.

Surrounding views.

The Rama VIII Bridge is visible.

After that, I went down. The way down was different from the way up. I'm confused as to why I didn't take any pictures.

I will be visiting Khao San Road soon, following an invitation from a Facebook user, member number 3190197, comment number 2. I have permission to call them "พี่มะนาว" (elder sister Lemon). They invited me to join them at Khao San Road. I have been following their work on Facebook and have never met them in person.

Travel method ... Walk.

Continue using Google Maps for navigation. It's only 1.5 kilometers away.

Walk along the small alley next to the temple, following the map.

Cross the Maha Nak Canal

Passing by the magnificent Phra Phlab Phla Maha Chetsada Bodin, a metal castle, it was a pity that I couldn't enter.

The Democracy Monument is a sight to behold, especially during the evening hours when the light casts a picturesque glow. However, due to the inconvenience of returning home at that time, I was unable to capture its beauty at sunset.

Close-up

I trust Google Maps when I'm on land.

Note: The original text is empty. There is nothing to translate.

We have arrived at Khao San Road. There are indeed many foreigners here. There must be a lot of people at night.

After greeting and taking photos under the scorching sun at noon, I almost fainted (no photos as I didn't ask for permission). It was time to continue the journey to Wat Pho. I received directions from Mr. Manao because the road next to Sanam Luang is currently closed to allow the public to pay their respects to His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX). I felt regretful for not being able to pay my respects due to time constraints.

After passing through the security checkpoint to enter the Sanam Luang area, I planned to walk straight ahead. However, there was a free shuttle service available, so I didn't have to walk. It was a classic-looking car that passed by Wat Phra Kaew and ended at the R.D. roundabout.

I tried to capture some photos along the way.

I came here by this car.

I then walked through Thanon Thai Wang. I kept walking but couldn't find the entrance. 5555+

Upon entering the temple, I walked past the ticket booth through the Thai lane. Thai citizens can enter for free by showing their ID card. Foreigners are charged an entrance fee, but I didn't check the price. I continued walking through the Thai lane, but suddenly, I heard a voice from the ticket checker's side, "You! You!" I was startled and responded, "Huh? Yes?" I am Thai," I said, showing my ID card. The checker replied, "Oh, okay." I guess they thought I was Korean. Haha.

Without further ado, the large church (apologies for the incorrect term) houses a reclining Buddha statue. Please note that shoes are not permitted inside. Kindly remove your shoes and place them in the provided cloth bag, which you should carry with you.

Very large organization.

Photographed from the center.

A photograph of a foot, presumably belonging to a statue of a deity, taken from outside through a window.

The crowd was immense, with both Thai and foreign nationals present.

Then walk around to the back. There will be a donation box along the way.

The back of the reclining Buddha at Wat Pho. Not many people take pictures of it.

After making merit and taking a commemorative photo of the reclining Buddha, I walked out of the chapel.

Wandering around the temple, wondering where the giants are located.

Despite extensive searching, the legendary giant of Wat Pho remains elusive. Its existence is shrouded in mystery, as inquiries have yielded no concrete evidence. While numerous Chinese-style statues adorn the temple grounds, the giant itself continues to evade discovery.

This is everywhere.

I am looking for a giant. Where is the giant?

The Four Reigns Pagoda

Or is the giant you mentioned... the one at the gate?

The giant was not found, but the walk was enjoyable. It was time to move on to the next destination in the vicinity.

After exiting the temple, I opened Google Maps again and continued walking on Thanon Tawan Tok, heading towards Tha Tien Pier to cross the river to the Arun Amarin side.

I've arrived and will be taking my first ferry ride across the river.

The boat fare is 4 baht per person.
While the boat was crossing the river, I took some pictures. (Another event: the Phra Prang of Wat Arun is also under renovation.)
There was a beam of light.
We have crossed the river and are now at Wat Arun, whose full name is Wat Arun Ratchawararam Ratchawaramahawihan.

At this point, after a morning of eating rice with pork leg at Khlong Toei Market, I haven't had any heavy meals yet. I'm not hungry, I can't eat. I'm only thirsty. I've already finished four bottles of green tea. Maybe it's because I'm traveling alone, so I don't feel like eating (maybe).

This is all for now, as I am feeling sleepy. I will continue tomorrow after crossing over to the Wat Arun side. After that, I will take a walk to admire the beauty of the temple.

And then I met the giant of Wat Jaeng.

Giant

Strolling and taking pictures, the weather was quite hot.

The spire of Wat Arun is undergoing restoration, and it is truly magnificent.

The initial plan was to take a Chao Phraya Express Boat from Wat Arun Pier to Sathorn Pier. However, the boat schedule was either around 4 pm or 4:30 pm, which I couldn't recall precisely. Therefore, I opted for a taxi instead. I walked to Arun Amarin Road to catch a taxi and head to Wongwian Yai BTS Station.

In reality, there might have been a bus, but I didn't know how to get on it. I was afraid of getting on the wrong bus and missing my stop, so I decided to hail a taxi instead. It was my first time riding in a taxi.

Arrived. Don't remember how many minutes it took, there was a bit of traffic, but it only cost 45 baht, which is cheaper than a tuk-tuk! 555+

Upon arriving at Wongwian Yai Station, proceed to the counter to purchase a One Day Pass (is it worth it to buy now?). The card costs 140 baht and is an insertable type similar to the single-trip tickets. It looks like this:

Next station: BTS Wongwian Yai > Sapan Taksin (Normal fare 15 Baht)

The train paused briefly before reaching Saphan Taksin Station, after passing Krung Thon Buri Station. I was curious about the reason for the pause and discovered that it was necessary to wait for the train traveling in the opposite direction to pass first, as the station has a single track. The train then slowly proceeded into the station.

Once you arrive, find a way to get up on the bridge. You can take pictures from there.

I took some photos then. I didn't think much at that time. I was in a hurry to take photos and wanted to go back to take a shower.

No plans to go to Asiatique, taking photos from here instead. 5555+

I am exhausted now. I would like to return to the hotel to check in and take a shower before continuing my exploration this evening.

Travel

BTS Saphan Taksin > Sala Daeng (Normal fare 28 Baht)

Change to MRT

MRT Silom > Hua Lamphong (Normal fare 19 Baht)

On the last day, I will summarize whether using my One Day Pass is worthwhile.
After checking in at the hotel, I secretly took a business card. 555+

Located on the 4th floor, I had to drag my luggage up the stairs. Later, I found out that there was an elevator, but the front desk staff didn't inform me.

The room is a good size (it wouldn't be practical to have a larger room for just one person). It is neither too wide nor too narrow, and it is clean. Towels, soap, and shampoo are provided.

The bed is neither too soft nor too hard.

The bathroom is clean and has a water heater. The bathroom door is a sliding glass door.

I am usually sensitive to cold, but I don't find the air conditioning at 25 degrees Celsius to be cool enough. I would prefer it to be set below 20 degrees Celsius.

After taking my third shower of the day, it was already around 5:30 PM, so I decided to go capture some evening light. My next destination was the Skywalk at Chong Nonsi, a station I had always dreamed of visiting whenever I came to Bangkok. I was ready, let's go!

Travel

Take the MRT from Hua Lamphong to Silom (normal fare 19 baht).

Transfer to BTS Sala Daeng > Chong Nonsi (Normal fare 15 baht)

I took the wrong exit again and had to walk down the side of the road. 5555+ But I was able to find a snack at a 7-Eleven along the way. I got a glass of iced cocoa and a banana-filled pastry to hold me over until I had enough energy to continue taking pictures.

Upon arrival, I began searching for a suitable location to take photographs. However, the 18-55mm lens proved to be too narrow, limiting the ability to capture the entire building. I managed to capture what I could within the constraints of the lens.

When the time is right,

Peak period

Not yet.

Different times will inevitably lead to different perspectives.

The building cannot be fully occupied because the car lights are running. It will be a building with gaps in the car lights. #Southern warning

Run to the other side.

Sigh, that's enough. Next time, I'll have to come back and try again.

Next station... Suan Rot Fai Market

BTS journey from **Chong Nonsi** to **Sala Daeng** (normal fare 15 baht)

Transfer to the Silom MRT line and travel to the Thailand Cultural Centre station (normal fare 30 baht).

While transferring to the MRT, I experienced knee pain, likely due to excessive walking.

Following the signs, I searched for the most direct and closest exit, as my knees were in excruciating pain. (But I still managed to make it, haha!)

Upon arriving at the Thailand Cultural Centre Station, the exit leads directly to the entrance of the Suan Rot Fai Night Market.

The vast, empty marketplace offered few photo opportunities. The vibrant colors of the tents visible in the distance prompted me to post a question on Facebook, hoping for some guidance.

They then walked around to find something to eat.

The food selection is extensive, and the prices are reasonable.

Seafood is abundant here, with large shrimp, shellfish, crabs, and fish. Although I come from the south, I wouldn't consider eating seafood in Bangkok.

Today is December 25, 2016, Christmas Day. I've been having so much fun that I forgot. Merry Christmas!

I'm not sure what to eat. I'm not hungry, but I bought a cup of coconut water and 6 takoyaki balls.

I'm not sure where to take photos now. I'm exhausted from walking and taking photos. I just want to sleep, so I'd like to go back to the accommodation.

Filming while walking back.

Link to YouTube video

Take the MRT from Thailand Cultural Centre Station to Hua Lamphong Station. (Normal fare: 35 baht)

After returning to the accommodation, I took a shower for the fourth time and then went to sleep.

I slept like a log and set my alarm for 5 am to take photos in front of Hua Lamphong, but I snoozed the alarm several times because the photo spot was right downstairs.

It's time to wake up for real. After showering and brushing my teeth, I rushed downstairs to take pictures.

After searching for a suitable angle for some time, I decided on this one. I took several photos and selected three to share with you. (I am a beginner.)

The sky had already brightened. I found some food to fill my stomach: two skewers of grilled pork and a bag of sticky rice for a total of 30 baht. I sat down to eat and fell asleep.

Behold, the MahaNakhon, the tallest building in Thailand, with its distinctive indented design.

Next stop, Google Maps. Please guide me.

While walking to Wat Traimit in Yaowarat, I realized that my legs were truly exhausted. I decided to stop by a pharmacy to purchase some massage oil.

With no seats available, I continued walking. As Wat Traimit was not yet open for paying respects to the Golden Buddha, I decided to head to Yaowarat instead. It was still early, so I didn't expect anything to be open, but I thought I'd check anyway. I wasn't sure where else to go.

Upon reaching the Odeon Circle intersection, a resting area presented itself (in front of a seemingly closed shop). Without further ado, I immediately took a nap, unable to endure the burning and stinging sensation that had plagued me throughout the day.

Let's go survey Yaowarat.

We have arrived. I wonder why we came here now. Let's go back!

It's better to go back to the hotel. I can't think of anywhere else to go. It's already 4 pm and the train doesn't leave until 10 pm.

I returned to the hotel and arrived at around 8:00 AM. I took another shower, reapplied my medication, and fully charged my devices, as there would be no charging opportunities after this point. I then took a nap while contemplating my next destination.

In 15 minutes, at 11:00 AM, it's time to check out. According to the plan, I will leave my luggage and tripod at the hotel before heading to Victory Monument for lunch. I'll have some boat noodles and take some photos of the monument. Then, I'll take the BTS back to Ratchathewi Station to visit Pantip Plaza. Hopefully, I won't get lost again.

Let's go.

Travel

MRT Hua Lamphong to Sukhumvit (purchase a token for 28 baht at the ticket machine)

Change to BTS Asok > Victory Monument. Long ride (buy a ticket at the machine for 37 baht).

Locate the noodle shop and walk around taking pictures.

After descending from the Skywalk, I searched for a noodle shop, ordered, and ate. I was very hungry and only managed to take one photo.

This photo was taken on my phone to post on Facebook to show off to my friends. I ordered 4 bowls and it was just enough to fill me up. Each bowl costs 12 baht.

After lunch, we will head to Pantip Plaza.

Take the BTS from Victory Monument to Phaya Thai (15 baht) and then walk. The pain in my legs multiplied... dragging my legs.

Arrived.

After wandering around Pantip Plaza for a while, I decided to head back. There wasn't much to see, although there were a lot of camera and computer stores. I wonder why I came here in the first place; I didn't have any specific goal in mind.

As I dragged my feet back, I saw a bus with the route "Min Buri - Hua Lamphong". I almost cried. It was definitely the right route and the right stop. Wait for meeeeeeeeeee!

What a relief to be able to rest my legs and get off at Hua Lamphong Station.

Only 9 baht.

It took an unknown amount of time, but when I arrived at Hua Lamphong Station, I walked into the subway on the platform for a bit.

Next station: Bangkok

Despite the bustling crowd, there were still empty seats available, so I took a moment to rest my body and mind before continuing my exploration (as if I needed more exploring!).

Note: The original text is empty, so the translation is also empty.

After resting, it's time to pay respects to Luang Pho Thongkham. Let's go! Walk.

No further comments. Enjoy the extended footage.

Upon ascending the temple, one encounters the Golden Buddha of Sukhothai, also known as Phra Phuttha Maha Suwanna Patimakorn, recognized as the "largest solid gold Buddha statue in the world." Its beauty is truly remarkable.

There are quite a few people here.

The interior of the temple is adorned with exquisite decorations.

An external view reveals the towering MahaNakhon building once again. Its height is truly impressive.

After paying respects to Luang Pho Thongkham and making merit, I walked downstairs to head to Yaowarat.

Seeking a photogenic spot this evening, but I anticipate difficulty finding alternative angles (hesitant to climb buildings).

While walking to Yaowarat, I stopped to try the cold noodles. I've never had them before.

Sweet, refreshing, and delightful.

Very enjoyable.

Refreshing.

Many events are held throughout the year. However, it is important to note that in Bangkok, most businesses are closed on Mondays. As a result, there may be limited options for shopping and dining on this day. For example, the popular Chatuchak Weekend Market is closed on Mondays. Additionally, many street vendors in Yaowarat are also closed on this day. However, there are still some restaurants and shops that are open, particularly those located in shophouses and alleys.

Let me go buy some souvenirs first.

I can't go any further, so I'm turning back.

Laden with souvenirs, I was surprised to learn that some items were cheaper in Surat Thani.

Reflection

After checking out of the hotel, they retrieved their luggage and strategically packed some of their souvenirs inside to reduce the weight they had to carry and save space.

Take a break and wait for the right time.

Around 6 pm, I walked to the Odeon Circle again to take pictures of the sunset. Here are the photos I took.

As I was passing by Wat Traimit again on my way back, I saw that the sky was not yet dark, so I stopped by to take some photos.

I arrived back at Hua Lamphong station. On the way back, I stopped by 7-Eleven to buy frozen lunch boxes to eat. I secretly sat down to eat in the food court. 555+

After a long break, it's time to board the plane or train. It's 10:50 PM, and if I still have the energy, I can explore for another 3 hours. Right now, my legs are too tired to go anywhere.

Farewell, Bangkok, the capital of the Kingdom of Thailand, the city of lights.

Done.

Grown up, ending like this is fine, no one will say anything.

Thank you all for reading this far. I will calculate the total cost tomorrow. Here is a detailed summary of the daily expenses:

December 24, 2016

Travel expenses = 145 baht (42+21+16+25+25+16)

This guide is intended for those who have never visited Bangkok before and can be used as a reference for planning expenses. It is highly recommended to practice taking buses, as the transportation costs can be quite shocking.

This concludes our trip for now. Thank you to everyone who has read and watched. See you again on our next trip, coming soon.
