I booked a place in a shady area, I had no idea about. It’s called Nana, and apparently it’s some red light district. The hotel didn’t look so bad on the outside, but in the room smelled like cigarettes and the overall impression was: better not to touch anything. The room even offered condoms. I couldn’t sleep because the smell was hurting me. At 2am I called booking, canceled the next night and booked another hotel.
First evening we met my colleague and his wife, we ate in a touristic place and decided to go visit the lung of Bangkok next day, which we did.
We met at Phaya Thai BTS and took a taxi to the harbor, where a guy took us to a small boat. The boat ride was for free if we rented bikes from them, 80baht. Alright, let’s do it.
The island, also known as the lungs of Bangkok, is a quiet green place with concrete elevated paths.
It was pretty hard to find a taxi to take us back, apparently they don’t want to drive with the meter on, but after a while, I persuaded one and we went back.
That evening I went out with Louise and ate at Ethos, close to Khao San Road. Good, chill place, decent prices and service.
These 2 days were meant to relax and hangout by the pool, before our long flight to Auckland.
We stayed close to Democracy Monument
Buddha about to be sold
I can’t explain why I like it so much in Thailand. It’s the people, the food? And I found this song Krung Thep Maha Nakhon from Asanee-Wasan.
Now off to Auckland
