THE TRIP
09:00-09:30 The receptionist told me that unlike going to MBK or Chatuchak, there are no buses that will pass by the guesthouse to take us to Central world directly. We have to take the bus from the main road which will take us near Platinum Mall. Transportation: 12 THB each

THE TRIP
09:00-09:40 Because of the sudden change of plans, I had to google famous malls in Bangkok. I did that the night before by renting the computer in Thara House. That morning, I also asked the receptionist the bus number that will take us to MBK. We boarded a non-aircon bus in front of Thara. Transportation: 7 THB each
09:40-19:20 Our first mall is MBK.

Since the succeeding posts are about my 12-day, 3-country DIY trip, I decided to have a separate post entirely dedicated to the ‘preparation’ part of my travel.
If you are a DIY person like me, preparing is usually an easy, if not enjoyable, task. You most likely know how to use the search engine efficiently so as to filter the sites that are useful for your trip. You may also have read several books that offer relevant information and details that are more extensive than online blogs and forums. For me, the internet is my most helpful tool as I am not the kind that will digest a place’s culture or history or way of life in a couple of days’ stay. But it doesn’t mean that I am not interested in their part of the world. So long as I can taste a little bit of their culture or know a little bit of their history or experience a little bit their way of life, I am more than satisfied with that.
