I literally spent 24 hours in Bangkok . That wasn’t my
first time there though so I was a bit familiar with the city. The first time I’ve been there
was in 2012. Three years later, I was back. This time however, I decided to
visit Damnoen Saduak Floating Market and the Chocolate Ville.
My flight was an hour delayed
because of some weird reason. We were all set and the plane was about to take
off when an announcement was made saying that we had to go back to the gate
because one of the passengers travel document was incomplete. I didn’t know
how it happened but that was really strange.
Here’s a list of the things we
did and places we’ve gone to during our 24-hour stay in Bangkok .

It was just an over the weekend
trip yet truly wonderful (and definitely exhausting!) I spent the travel time
going to the floating market sleeping since I only had an hour and a half sleep the
night before. During my last visit, my friends and I joined a group tour going
to the temples. This time, I decided to travel on my own. Travelling around the city by train was easy, cheap and comfortable. There were directions written in English so I
didn’t get lost. It was a different experience with the local taxi drivers
though. All of them (whom I’ve spoken to) didn’t know how to speak English and
even if I had the address written down, they still didn’t understand what I was
trying to say. If you are travelling to Thailand
in the future and have plans of taking taxis from one place to another, I
suggest you have the address written down in Thai.
Ciao for now, bellas! I am still
(a bit) exhausted at the moment. I will blog about some travel tips
soon!
