3 Days in Bangkok Thailand

Yes Bes!

Murang Mura lang po talaga sa Thailand. As in sobrang mura! Kaya ewan ko nlang kung may excuse ka pa! Pareho lang po siya almost sa Philippines depende kung anong klaseng traveler ka. Either Tourist - Sosyalin or Backpacker - Cowboy ka! Here is my very matipid tip to your next trip to Thailand.

Day 1: Arrival (4pm)
Meal: Dinner

I am flying from Hanoi so I didn't include the airfare in this guide. So pag land sa Suvarnabhumi, go directly to the Immigration Area. Don't forget to fill - up the immigration form na makikita mo dun sa aisle. Note that sobrang dami ng tourist sa Thailand so mahaba talaga ang pila. Patience is a virtue! Pagkatapos ng immigration, just go straight to the exit and ask sa mga tao dun kung san yung sa Airport Link. Bibili ng ticket, actually token siya. I went to Ratchaparop - the train station nearest to my hostel.

To go to the city center, the best and cheapest way is to take the Airport Link. I stayed in a Hostel called MASCOT Hostel. It is owned and managed by Filipinos so masaya dun. Room rates nila sanges from 4 - 7 USD depende sa time of the day. Please take note na dorm rooms po ito. Meron din silang private rooms but Tipid Tips to diba?

Airport Link - Ratchaparop (Train Station a minute walk from the hostel) = 40 THB (Thai Baht)

Medyo inabot na aq ng almost 7pm sa hostel kasi medyo mahaba pila sa immigration. Pahinga ng slight, ligo and then hanap ng food which is just around the area. Mura lang po pagkain dito 30 - 70 THB lang po. Ang sasarap pa. Spicy but sobrang sarap!

Dinner - 1Meal - 50THB with Coke 9:) 

After dinner is naglibot na ako sa malapit na Night Market na parang sa Divisoria so imagine kung gaano ka mura. Namili na aq ng mga pasalubong na keychain and enjoyed a bottle of beer before heading back to my hostel.

Keychain = 25THB 1 Pack Beer = 20 THB

Day 2: Grand Palace and Wat Pho
Meal: Lunch and Dinner

GRAND PALACE

Breakfast is served in the hostel for free. So see? Mura lang talaga. Today will be the main "gala" day! Grand Palace and Wat Pho are the most important destinations sa Bangkok so yun lang yung plano kong pinuntahan. Note that dapat maaga sa Grand Palace kasi sobrang daming tao! I mean sobrang dami! The gate opens at 8am but most of the time open na siya ng 7:30PM so ayun! Sobrang amazing ng Grand Palace so I don't want to spoil nlang and wala aq masyado pics.It will take half day para malibot ang the whole palace! I went there through uber and it is just 100THB.

Note: No Shorts, No sleeveless and NO Short Skirts There are available sarong naman but sayang din ang pambili so better na well - informed.

Mascot Hostel - Golden Palace = 100THB (98.something) UBER x 2
Lunch= 50THB 
Golden Palace Entrance Fee + 500THB

WAT PHO

Before heading to Wat Pho, I decided to take a short break for lunch. There are a lot of small restaurants around the area. There are expensive ones and reasonably priced restaurants.After lunch, gora na sa Wat Pho! This is my next stop. WAT PHO. It is just a walking distance from the Golden Palace so lakad-lakad din pag may time. yung mga mahilig mag heels diyan, dios mi. Pag backpacker po wag masyado umarte. Mag tsinelas or kahit anong flats. Wag mag heels! Vietnamese? LolWat Pho is where the leaning Buddha is.

ENTRANCE = 100 THB

KHAOSAN ROAD

Natapos ng mga 4pm and tulog lang pagdating ng hostel tulog! Tulog until 7pm and then diretso na sa Khaosan Road. Khaosan Road is like the Red District of Bangkok! Nightlife kung Nightlife. Parang Makati Ave with Baclaran vendors. Masaya but medyo maingay masyado din. I had dinner around Khaosan and then grabbed some drinks until 11pm.  Uwi then tulog!

Mascot Hotel - Khaosan Road = 100 THB
Dinner: 100THB

Day 3: Departure
Meal: Breakfast (I chose to eat out)

Free breakfast but nag inarte aq dito so ayun kumain sa labas! After breakfast, headed back to the hotel and packed up for my flight back to Hanoi.

Mascot - Airport = 40 THB (Airport Link)

My point is, don't hesitate to travel. Mas mahal pa yung sapatos mo keysa sa gagastusin mo ehh. Nka-iphone kpa! The best thing about traveling is mas nagiging open ka sa mga bagay and possibilities sa buhay. I am not rich. Kailangan lang magtravel para sa visa. At first, I was skeptical kasi mahal, kasi ganito. Antay - antay lang ng SALE beh! Mkakapunta ka din ng Bangkok!

PS: My ticket from Hanoi to Bangkok is just around 20USD :) Ang saya dba?
