A Day of Exploring in Bangkok🇹🇭

Bangkok🇹🇭

Itinerary:
• Wat Pho (The Temple of the Reclining Buddha) - 200bht entry
• Ferry over the river to Wat Arun Temple - 5bht ferry & 100bht temple entry
• Ferry to Icon Siam shopping centre - 16bht ferry
• Picked up an AIS sim & some spring rolls at Icon Siam
• Bolt ride back to the hotel - 40bht each
• Go fetch some bubble tea & relax in the pool

This morning we woke up at 4am because of the time difference! We waited until 7am breakfast & filled up on the hotel’s free scrambled eggs, toast, pancakes, cereal & fruit.
Then we headed to Wat Pho. What an incredible place. The reclining Buddha statue is a sight that no one should miss.
Then we walked and walked in attempt to find the Ta Thien Pier, in order to get the ferry across the river to Wat Arun. When we finally found it, it cost 5bht each (12p!) and headed to Wat Arun.
Wat Arun is beautiful. A brilliant photo opportunity, but perhaps too touristy. You couldn’t walk around and take in the scenery much, due to people taking photos. Still a brilliant place to visit though!
Then we took the busy ferry to Icon Siam. This place is massive. It has so many floors, full of every shop you can imagine. We managed to get our SIM cards sorted in AIS super easy and then went to the food court for some lunch.
We took a taxi back, got a bubble tea, and swam in the pool for a little bit, before heading back to the room for a nap.
Finally, we went to Jeng Noodle for tea & had an amazing Massaman curry🥘
