Thailand is such a big country, and with only one week, we weren’t able to visit much. I am the type of person who like to explore things without rushing too much, which is why we decided to stay in Bangkok the whole week (plus, it’s an excuse to come back and have more time to enjoy all of the other beautiful places Thailand has to offer!)
Here are some useful and interesting facts about Thailand:
Currency
Thailand, as most of South East Asia countries, is very affordable.
Food
Transportation
weather
SHOPPING
Siam is the center of shopping in Bangkok. There you will find MBK Center, Siam Discovery, Siam Center, and Siam Paragon. They are all shopping malls right next to each other.
You can also do some shopping at the local markets where you will find several souvenirs to bring back home. If you go to the markets, definitely be ready to bargain, as the vendors usually double the price for tourists. I bought the orange pants I am wearing on the pictures at the local market. Initially they were selling them to me at 600 Bahts, but after bargaining for a while, they sold them to me at 250 Bahts ($8 US dollars).
The City
Below you will find some pictures we took at Wat Pho Temple.
Stay tuned for our next trip to Thailand, we hope to have more time to explore all of the beautiful places Thailand has to offer.
