THAILAND TRIP | Thailand in Motion

To end my Thailand Trip Series, I made this little video. This is a little amateurish, so excuse me. haha... The videos is taken using my Samsung Galaxy phone. Tell me what you think, and I will see you on my next trip.

THAILAND TRIP | CHAO PHRAYA RIVER

River Taxi

After our Grand Palace tour our next stop is the Airport (We are flying back to Manila). Our initial plan is to take a taxi from the Grand Palace to the Airport, luckily a fellow traveler told us to try the water taxi instead. 

How to go to Suvarnabhumi International Airport from The Grand Palace.

1. From N9 (Tha Chang) station which is a few walks away from The Grand Palace, take the water taxi to the Central Pier (Tha Sathorn) station.

2. Then, take the BTS Skytrain Silom Line from Saphan Taksin Station to Siam Station

3. Now, take the BTS Skytrain Sukhumvit Line from Siam Station to Phaya Thai Station

4. Finally, take the Airport Rail link from Phaya Thai to Suvarnabhumi International Airport. 

Not only was that easy and less expensive but also an adventure itself. Along the river banks you will see various interesting structures like temples, buildings, houses on stilt and many others.

There are also various tour operators offering lunch and dinner cruise.

THAILAND TRIP | THE GRAND PALACE

Yay! I can now say, I have been to Thailand

They say, one has not visited Bangkok if they have never visited the Grand Palace, and it's on the top list of must see attraction for most first time traveller to Thailand like myself.

The Grand Palace Complex

The Grand Palace Complex is indeed GRAND. It was established in 1782 and it consists of not only the royal residence and throne halls, but also a number of government offices as well as the renowned Temple of the Emerald Buddha. 

Before you get amaze by how grand the Grand Palace Complex is, you have to pay 500 Baht for entrance fee and has to dress properly. Pwede na kaya 'to?

Parang di Pwede, hehehe...

The Grand Palace is open from 8:30 to 3:30 P.M

The Guard

There are a lot of beautiful buildings and structure inside the complex and I actually don't have any idea how are they called (hehehe...) except for some of course. But what really amazes me is how beautiful this Thai Architecture is.
