Sunday was technically the only ‘free‘ day that I had in Bangkok. But since I had to review for the training, I only gave myself until 3 in the afternoon to go around.

(By the way, if you’re wondering why I was too serious in my pre-work review, it was because we were told that a test would be given prior to the start of the training. People who’d fail the test would be kicked off from the training. Imagine my frustration when no test was given at all.)

Since I didn’t have much time to go around, I had to limit my destinations. I chose to visit the Grand Palace and Chatuchak (or Jatujak) Weekend Market.

Going around Bangkok’s pretty easy. At the Ratchadamri BTS station, I bought an all-day BTS pass for 150 Thai Baht. The pass is good for both Sukhumvit and Silom lines of the BTS.

This pass is great for tourists. My 150 Thai Baht brought me places.

Bangkok’s BTS Skytrain reminds me of LRT 2, only better. How I wish all of our light rails are as good as the BTS.

My first destination was the Grand Palace. To reach the place, one has to go to the Saphan Taksin BTS station then ride a Chao Praya Express Boat from the Sathorn Pier to the Maharaj Pier where the Grand Palace is nearby. Again, the pier is just below the BTS station. Very convenient! Continue reading →

Mabuhay!

Australian short ribs served with pegedil, sweet soy sauce, and sambal belacan. The meat was falling off the bones! I loved how the different spices played in my palate. And yes, it was excellent with merlot. 。 。 。 。 #travel #traveler #travelforfood #finedining #explore #wander #foodtrip #foodie #malaysia #kualalumpur #delicious #yummy #asia #pinoy #filipino #nofilter #bijanbar #exquisite #beef #merlot #dinner #wanderlust #好吃 #馬來西亞 #旅行 #makan #lazat #enak @bijankl
