Day 12, Thailand
THE DATE: May 2, 2012
THE TRIP
07:00-08:00 Our airport transfer is scheduled to pick us up from our hostel around 1:00PM, in time for our 3:40PM flight back to Manila via Tiger Airways. That gave us the whole morning to do what we do best… shop. Do we really have the time? Don’t malls open around 10AM? Will we make it back before 1:00PM? These are some of the questions I asked myself and divimom. We don’t know but we decided to go anyway. Transportation: 12 THB each
Day 11, Thailand
THE DATE: May 1, 2012
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
Day 10, Thailand
THE DATE: April 30, 2012
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.
Day 9, Thailand
THE DATE: April 29, 2012
THE TRIP
09:30-10:10 Shopping in Thailand is not complete without visiting Chatuchak market. It’s only open on weekends so I made sure that we have at least one weekend in Bangkok. It’s a bus ride away from Thara House, we know because we asked 🙂 You have a choice between an aircon or a non-aircon bus. We decided to take whatever comes first. It was near empty when we boarded it but after several stops, the bus became crowded. Transportation: 13 THB each Continue reading “Day 9, Thailand”
Day 8, Thailand
THE DATE: April 28, 2012
THE TRIP
07:00-07:45 The days passed by so fast that we didn’t notice we were on the 8th day and on our way to the third country of our Southeast Asia Tour!
Day 7, Cambodia
THE DATE: April 27, 2012
THE TRIP
08:00-08:30 Day 2 of our temple tour and last day in Cambodia. Since yesterday’s tour was abruptly shortened due to my camera’s untimely but temporary death, I made sure that my battery is full and my camera’s memory is empty so we can capture every moment of another fun-filled day in store for us… and a free breakfast is a great way to start our day.
Day 6, Cambodia
THE DATE: April 26, 2012
THE TRIP
06:00-08:00 Waking up early to see this…
Day 5, Cambodia
THE DATE: April 25, 2012
THE TRIP
07:00-07:40 After a despondent but educational day, we were off to immerse ourselves to two days of 12th century Cambodian history.
Day 4, Cambodia
THE DATE: April 24, 2012
THE TRIP
06:00 Today is the day Divimom and I will cross the border. It was our first time to cross the border and I was excited anxious. So many thoughts were running in my head. Will we be able to pass through? Will we be scammed? What if the immigration won’t let us pass? Will they stamp our passport? Where is our passport?? The last one may be bordering on panic, but see, it is quite understandable since we live in an archipelagic country. We don’t cross borders – we cross seas 🙂
