Bangkok Adventure! (part1)

I'm back! The trip was tiring (because we were on the go the whole time we were there) but fun nonetheless.

Day 1 was spent walking around the city. We took the BTS to Saphan Thaksin station, then we took the Chao Phraya River Tour to the different temples. For 100 Baht (140Php), you can have unlimited use of the tour boat. You can go down at any stop and ride the boat again at any time during the day.

Temple of the Dawn (Wat Arun)

We had lunch at some small makeshift restaurant near the pier, and had barbecued chicken and pork with rice for 30Baht (42Php.) The TukTuk ride was fun but humiliating, because apparently, we were already in the place we wanted to go to. The driver took us around, only to bring us back where we came from. Hahahaha. :) That's 40Baht wasted.

We were all tired by the end of the temple tour, but we were still waiting for the night market at the Memorial Bridge to open. After a very expensive dinner at KFC (where there was no rice! You have to order extra rice for 10Baht. We spent around 100+ Baht for chicken and rice.), we went to hang out on the bridge itself. Then we shopped. :)

I'll leave it there for now, I'm still kinda sleepy. Hahaha. I'll nap for a while first, before I continue. :)
