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

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...

A City of Nature - The End of Our Adventure

Image
Well it took me long enough, but I still can't believe this is my last travelling post. I can't think of a better way to end it than with Gardens By The Bay, one of my favourite places from the whole trip. I just love the fact this huge nature park, home to over 1,000,000 plants, is in the middle of the city. It is home to the Dragonfly lake, Heritage Gardens, Cloud Forest, Flower Dome, and of course the magnificent Supertree Grove. The Flower Dome is the largest glass greenhouse in the world, and obviously is home to an abundance of flowers. The Cloud Forest hosts a walkway that wraps around a 35m high mountain in the middle of the dome. I am awful with heights so walking this had me scared as hell, especially when my ever so loving boyfriend nudged me, causing me to scream in front of all the other people (including children) walking along it without a care in the world. The walkway had glass panels on either side, which even though I...

Why You Should Go to Singapore

Image
So I was going to try and do Singapore as one long last post of our travels. But since seeing how many photos we have and just how much we did...that's going to be impossible. Our short trip was filled up with 3 main things: 1) Random Exploring 2) The Singapore Zoo (kinda twice but we'll get into that) 3) Gardens by the Bay ...we also ended up seeing Dunkirk at the IMAX while we were there, which was awesome but not awesome enough to earn it's own blogpost I 'm going to have to take a moment here to appreciate Singapore airport because oh my god it is the best place in the world. We didn't even use it to it's full potential, and it's still the best place in the world. In Changi airport you can go on a nature trail through sunflower, cactus, orchid and butterfly gardens. If that's not your style, you can visit the cinema or entertainment areas with games consoles or the SWIMMING POOL or the SLIDE. Not to mention all the stuff you find in other ...
