It was the scariest flight I ever had for the last five years;
the turbulence and rains was so strong when the plane entered Thai Air space
and the sudden jolt woke me up from slumber. I’m hearing some female passengers
screaming but my seatmate caught my attention, she was holding my arms so tight
it hurts. I held her hand and ask her to trust the pilot and that everything
will be alright (while saying these words I’m also convincing myself of the
same thing).
An hour later, the almost 200 plus passengers of CebuPac are
safely lining up at the Immigration for their stamps. It seems that most of
them have already forgotten what happened mid-air and that’s my queue to do the
same.
Silom Street is where our hostel is located; it’s the street
parallel to the red light district Patpong and an hour away from the famous
Khao San road where most backpackers stay. Bangkok was our first destination to
our 6 day Indochina trip and considered by many as the starting point of Banana
pancake trail.
To start our temple hopping in Bangkok, we have an option to
hire a taxi or hop on one of the water taxies that crosses Chao Phraya River
for us to get to the city center. Of course we choose the latter as this kind
of transportation will save us time and money. For first timers like us, temple
hopping is on top of our list to experience some Thai culture, although this
can be tiring and so enough you’ll find yourself temple out so we suggest visiting
two temples at a time then doing something different before heading to your next
temple of choice. Just remember to follow the dress code to have a hassle free
temple visit.
