    Bangkok: Khao San Road

    Bangkok: Khao San Road – The Hangover 2 Place – Last year, I’ve wanted to go to Khao San Road during my Bangkok trip in 2012, but I didn’t get the chance cause I was busy checking out other night market. The recent trip had gave me another chance to visit the scene from Hangover Part 2 – Khao San Road!
    If you read from Lonely Planet or any online source, this place was very famous for Caucasian backpackers with lots of cheap hostel, bars, internet cafes and Pad Thai! But it gets even famous now, still to the tourist, but from everywhere of the world, Asian, Blacks, everyone young and energetic just loves this place.
    You can hear music blasting off the bar while walking pass food stalls, and imitation branded stuff stalls as well as some little fashion boutique stalls. Tourist roaming along Khao San Road and the alleys with a beer on hand, backpackers with handful of luggage and camera, booth that can help you make fake ID, Thai walking around selling exotic food like scorpion, mobile bar with Chang and Singha Beer… Well, this place is just awesome at night.
    I have a friend told me that it gets even more happenings after 12 when 7 Eleven stops selling beer and mobile bars move out all scale to sell you beer, music turns even louder, the whole street literally become an open party area. Too bad, I couldn’t experience that, it rained during my visit. Down. Nevermind, will go again the next time!

  • Bangkok: Golden Buddha Temple / Wat Traimit, Chinatown

    Bangkok: Golden Buddha Temple / Wat Traimit, Chinatown

    Bangkok: Golden Buddha Temple / Wat Traimit, Chinatown – Few days ago, I shared about the 4 Faces Buddha, now I would like to bring you to the Golden Buddha at Chinatown. I have been to Bangkok for quite a several time, but this time was my first time checking out this temple.

    Well, I don’t know, but the temple claims that the Golden Buddha is the world’s largest solid gold statue. WOW! Imagine how heavy and how much value it is. It’s really very magnificent for it’s solid gold material! As usual, did some prayers, got some blessings from the monk and off we go. 

    What face is this?
    Queuing for blessing from the monk.

    There’s a Kuan Yin Temple just right across Wat Traimit.
  • Bangkok: Erawan Four Faces Buddha Shrine

    Bangkok: Erawan Four Faces Buddha Shrine

    Bangkok: Erawan Four Faces Buddha Shrine – A must-visit for Buddhist in Bangkok as it’s a place I would visit for a little prayer every time I travel to Bangkok! It’s so famous that Buddhist from all over the world flock to this little corner at Erawan to do prayer! The Buddhist way of praying is actually wish for some good luck from the Buddha, and people claims that the wish comes true after praying here. I do not know a lot about prayers, I just seek for Buddha’s blessing and that’s it. Even if you are not a Buddhist, it’s nice to take a visit to this place, and see the devotees doing their prayer. Very culture-ful!
