4. Phuket
Journeys starts from Banglore international airport on 13th Nov 2019 at 11pm flight
Landed at the Don muang airport by 5:a.m on 14th Nov 2019, then completed on arrival processing which took almost 1:30 hr due to heavy rush(On arrival visa is free till April2020).
Got freshen up at the airport(washrooms are very clean ), had some snadwiches at the 7/11 store and started to see the Bangkok city.
Right opposite to the Bangkok airport there is railway station, you can catch train from there to reach Bangkok city Wich costs 5 Bhatt per person(very cheapest mode of transport).
After one hour journey (train travels in the city ) will be reaching Bangkok city station.
This station looks Amazing.
From there reach near by metro(which is in walkable distance)and catch train to Lumpini park.
Have some good time there by clicking pictures and walk around the park which is very clean and neat.
You can also have some snacks inside park you will find some food stalls.
From there we have started to Kaoson road(famous for night life) but in day time you can do shopping and also find good pubs and restaurants, we reached there by afternoon by the time we already exhausted due to less sleep(we haven't booked stay here....why?).
After reaching here felt this place more hapoening and we went to one of the travel agency and booked our bus tickets to Krabi(which costs 850 Bhatt per person)
Note: If you go directly to the southern bus terminal this bus tickets costs you 650 Bhatt per person.
The only reason we bought is there are no available tickets online and also travel ppl providing free transport to the southern bus terminal.
Then we went to nearby open bar had some bear(which is not much costly) and after that went to McDonald's (by this time we understood that we cannot handle Thai food, felt very smelly due to the oil and sauces they use ) we both had good meal by swiping our Visa card(yes Indian debit cards works here).
Nearly 2 hrs we spent did some shopping as well..
By evening reached Southern bus terminal and catch bus to Krabi(which air-conditioned bus with toilet attached).
Bus halted for dinner, but you'll find only Thai food, so we bought some fruits and chips, filled our Tammy and slept.
Will reach Krabi next morning..
