  • Travel Expenses: Bangkok part 2

    Continuing on with my post-trip series, here’s my travel expenses for Bangkok, Thailand. Like the previous post-trip accounting posts, this only include the land transfer coming into the country. Also, I did not include the costs for the doll things I hoarded in BKK. For five days and four nights in a major city, this…

  • Day 17: Getting too comfortable in Bangkok

    Bangkok is starting to become all too familiar now, and I can tell because aside from memorizing the BTS stations (and the train announcement spiel for each station), I’m not taking as much picture as I used to.

  • Day 16: Malling in Bangkok

    I slept late again, but luckily, this time I woke up late. I got up at 10am, and hurried to get ready to go out. I left the hostel past 11:30, and was at MBK yet again for brunch at 12 noon. Yes, I know, MBK again. But the food center is really nice, and…

  • Day 15: Eating like a local in Bangkok

    It was yet another night of battling with sleep. It was weird having a hard time falling as sleep, since my bed was so comfortable, and the pillow I had is big and fluffy. I fell asleep almost at 3am and woke up before my alarm sounded at 9am. The only plan I had for…

  • Day 14: From Vientiane to Bangkok

    A songthaew picked me up at the guesthouse just a little past 5pm yesterday afternoon. It made a couple more stops, picking other passengers from the other guesthouses in the area. I guess I miss talking to people, since I started a conversation with the traveler who was picked up after me, and the third…

  • Travel Expenses: Bangkok, Thailand

    I was really just in transit in Bangkok for my Monday flight to Laos. But I figured I stay over the weekend and try to see the places I wasn’t able to go to last time, like Wat Po, Wat Arun, Ayutthaya and the River Kwai. Fate has other plans, however, and I ended up…

  • Day 7: Stumbling upon the path to dollie heaven

    True enough, I had a hard time sleeping last night. Though I can easily blame it on my insomnia-inducing medicine, I think it’s also partly because I wanted to watch as much episodes of Voice that I can. I ended up turning off the lights at 2:30am, after watching the finale episode. It was much…

  • Day 6: Sick in Bangkok

    Once again I woke up too early for my liking. It has been a fitful sleep. I had a hard time sleeping, and then when I finally fell asleep, I was woken up by noises from outside my room. First it was a gaggle of ladies having a big laugh from the ground floor of…

  • Day 5: Overland crossing from Cambodia to Thailand

    I woke up early, because my taxi is picking me up at 6:30am. I decided to cross the border to Thailand on my own, instead of taking the bus with the rest of the other tourists. The bus is actually so much cheaper than doing it on my own, but I guess I wanted to…
