Travel Planning: Bangkok



I've been feeling a little unwell and lousy today, luckily I already had the day off work so I decided to just have a me day. A stay in bed, watch Netflix and do pretty much nothing else day. However, after being ridiculously engrossed in 'Jane the Virgin' for about 4 hours, I decided it would probably be beneficial to use this time as planning time.

I'm currently trying to perfect my self titled 'Travel Bible'. A cute notepad I got for Christmas which, I have decided to use for all things trip. Any information we need to remember will be in there. What time is our flight? Refer to Bible. Where are we staying? Check the Bible. What are we doing today? BOOM Bible. Stuff like that, I just like to be prepared. Plus planning is becoming pretty damn fun.


                                                    (double points for travel aesthetic)

Our first destination is Bangkok and we'll be there for a week, we also have to pass through around 3 more times due to the travel routes and our flight back home. Therefore, it requires a lot of planning. I have read brochures, books and watched a TON of youtube videos to come with this rough list so far.

                                       
  •     A Bicycle Tour                                               
  •     Chatuchak Market
  •     Lumpini Park
  •     Green Lungs
  •     Floating Market
  •     Death Railway
  •     Chinatown
  •     Bangkok Tree House 
  •     Khao San Road
  •     Museum Day
  •     Temples (Wat Pho, Wat Saket, Wat Chakrawat etc.)
  •     Asiatique
  •     Phallus Shrine (lol)
  •     Patpong (double lol)
  •     Flow House (surf bar)
  •     Airplane Graveyard
  •     Chocolate Ville
  •     Hanging Gardens
  •     Maeklong Train Market  
  •     Sky Bar 
There is the list so far, but I know it will develop rapidly both before and once we're out there. All I know right now is planning has helped the excitement kick in, when before I have mostly been nervous about homesickness, so for that I'm grateful and it means I can now have a lot of fun with it

You know the stories of turtles eating plastic bags thinking they are jellyfish, penguins having 6-pack rings stuck round their necks, countless wildlife choking on or being poisoned by the deadly chemicals polluting their home. But what can you do about it? Plastic is taking over our lives people! Did you know every toothbrush you have ever used is st

Thai Islands: Koh Samui

Image
Oh my goodness it's been so long! I've had such a blogging dry spell because of Uni work, it's ridiculous. I've missed blogging so much and although I should probably be reading right now, I would much rather pretend I was back in Thailand ;) From Koh Phi Phi, we got a ferry to to Krabi, where we had to stay for the night and get a bus and ferry to Koh Samui the next day. The main thing to remember in Thailand is that EVERYONE is a salesman, we made the mistake of telling our taxi driver we didn't have ferry tickets for the next day, so he was on it straight away and we didn't really have time to look around for prices. Literally everything you do, somebody will try to sell you something. As soon as we arrived in Phuket, our bus to the hotel actually took us to a tourist information centre where they tried to sell us all sorts of day trips and awful elephant shows. My main tip is to have an idea of what you are doing beforehand so you don't get dragged

The Amazing Eden Project

Image
I've now been to the incredible Eden Project twice, and I can't believe I haven't written about it yet! It's probably one of my favourite places in the world and trust me when I say you NEED to go! The Eden Project started building in 1998 and was opened to the public in 2001 with two biomes, the Core was later opened in 2005. The Tropical biome houses tropical plants such as bananas, coffee, rubber and has the climate of a rainforest. The Mediterranean biome houses arid plants in a warm temperature such as olives, lemons, eggplants, tomatoes, cacti etc. The huge outdoor gardens showcase plants from all different parts of the world, including local UK species. Lastly, the Core has art installations and is an education facility. There are many art sculptures situated both in the biomes and around the gardens also, including a giant bee, all made from recycled material. The Outdoor Gardens
