I have mentioned the all over approx cost for one people and would try and give the detail cost whichever places I remember the amount spent .

Day 1

So we already booked our tickets on November'19 . All planned and excited for our first International trip . As the days of travel were coming closer, the COVID 19 threat was also spreading like anything, I remember Thailand had some 40 cases positive and was ranked 2nd and China at the 1st Position . As the days were coming closer, we were keeping a track on the COVID 19 cases and one point of time we almost cancelled our tickets . Finally at last we decided to continue our plans as the COVID 19 cases count was stable with almost 46 cases . We decided to take our flight from Ahmadabad to Mumbai and from Mumbai to Bangkok . The fare for Ahmadabad to Mumbai tickets was Rs 9500 Approx for two person and the fare for Mumbai to Bangkok for two person was Rs 15000/- Approx . Once all the check in and immigration procedure was completed, we had one hour to board our flight . So, finally time to board our flight, What we noticed was the flight was almost empty and had only few passengers travelling to Bangkok . Trust me after boarding the flight we was thinking about the CVOID 19, but now we didn't have a choice . So finally we landed in Bangkok and what we observed people all over their face covered with mask and we also did the same as we were also carrying few mask and the category of mask was N 95 . Finally after getting through all the immigration process we picked our baggage and headed towards our hotel . We hired a cab from a app called GRAB and we reached the hotel around 45 minutes from airport and the hotel name was Miramar(Approx cost 2500 THB for 2days/3nights) . We decided,we are not going to spend more on hotels as we wanted to enjoy all other adventure within our budget . As soon as we reached our hotel the CVOID 19 threat disappeared, as people were normally enjoying their vacation . It was 11 P.M and we decided to go to Khaosan Road in the local TUK TUK which cost us around 100 THB and about ten minutes we reached Khaosan road and once we entered the street, the vibe and atmosphere were amazing. We had plans to stay in Bangkok till 25th and everyday we ended up enjoying in the same street, the atmosphere was such amazing . On the 24th Morning we decided to go to The Grand palace and it took us around 20 minutes to reach there . we decide to walk and reach the destination . We had to purchase a ticket and the price for it was 250 or 500 THB per person . The building had many buildings built separately inside and whichever building you passed by, All the buildings were constructed very huge . Also we found a very interesting color of one of the building entry gate which is uploaded in one of my pictures . It took us four to five hours to visit the whole place and which was fun . After the Grand Palace visit, we headed to Platinum mall for Shopping and spent entire day till the mall shut followed by food and drinks . Just a tip if you have any plans for shopping while travelling to Bangkok, you need at least 2 to 3 whole days .

There are no foreign lands, It is the traveler only who is foreign .

Day 3

26th February'20 Morning we started our journey for Pattaya from Bangkok local bus station . The ticket fare for Pattaya was around 200 to 300 THB per person . It takes around 3 hours to reach Pattaya . We had booked a apartment which cost us Rs 1500 for two person for one night . For visiting the Sanctuary of truth temple we have to purchase the tickets not sure about the tickets prices . A beautiful fully wooden temple, lovely architect . There was some maintenance work going on and trust me looking at the temples looks like it takes a lots of effort to maintain the whole place . We didn't had much time as the temple shuts down by 6 P.M and we reached there by 5 P.M as we had to rush . A must visit place . I have nothing to say about walking street . Every one has different perception about it . Well if I had to give my opinion.. I would not suggest . Its only one time visiting .

Day 6

We again traveled by Bus to Bangkok from Pattaya with the same fare and From Bangkok we took a flight to Phuket . Don't remember the cost but it was on a cheaper side . From Phuket we hired a taxi which cost us for Rs 3000 THB which was expensive . Around 8 in the evening we reached Krabi . Just visited Aonang market in the night . Next day 6 A.M in the morning we hired a motor bike for the whole day which cost us 250 THB . We started our journey to Khao Sak National park, which took us around three hours to reach . We hired a private Long tail boat which cost us around 1000 to 1500 THB for 2 to 4 hours . Which was one of the most amazing ride with a super landscape . Next day we started the 7 island tour around 12:30 P.M which cost us 2000 THB for two person with dinner and some fee included in it . The sunsets are the most beautiful in this part of the world . the tour lasted till 7 in the evening . Would like to add one more thing . The bike ride was the most amazing experience with beautiful views . If any body is visiting one should try the same way .

Day 7

1 2 & 3rd March'20 these days we allotted to Ko Samui . The only way to go to Krabi to Ko Samui is the boat option . There is chain called Lomprayah the best service for travelling, the whole time we opted these travel agency whenever we wanted to travel . I m not sure about the prices that is why not mentioning . We reached there by afternoon and one of the most beautiful places . The surprise as the hotel Ark Bar Beach resort and Lub D . The atmosphere was insane followed with night party, Sheesha and the crowd . also would mention we visited some temples . the Fisher man market was the most surprising market with beautiful stuff and stay ( assuming about the stay ) .We also had a great experience to stay at Lub D hotels which is near by Ark bar Beach resort . One of the most beautiful Sunsets . Sunsets are must . We also wanted to visit the private resort called Ko Nang Yuan which is traveled through a speed boat and the cost comes up to 1000 THB per person including lunch . The view point is the center of attraction . Once you see the view point through your naked eyes we tend to forgot everything . One of the most beautiful experience . If any one who is in love with snorkeling this is the place - Better then PHI PHI islands .(My Opinion )

A Paradise

The 2nd day started by visiting Wat Arun temple of Dawn . To go to this place you need to go by a local boat which charges 4 THB for one person - one way . One thing which I noticed the structure of every temple here is similar . It is just if you go deeper inside you get to know the knowledge better . We attended a prayer there with one of the monk blessing . Entering inside was so peaceful as always you visit temples in any part of the world . There were again different buildings inside . It again took us around 3 to 4 hours to come back . After the visit, we decided to go to MBK mall and followed by lunch although it as too late . After the lunch, again we ended up shopping till late night till the mall shuts down . We then too thought we would have a day extra as the mall was so huge that we didn't cover the whole mall and if we would have covered, we would have ended up shopping more stuff .

4 & 5th March'20 . From Ko Samui to PHI Phi Islands the mode of travel was again the same agency which is called Lomprayah and the cost was approx 1000 to 1500 THB per person . As soon as we reached PHI PHI Islands the most interesting part there is no vehicle, you need to walk everywhere, even to reach to your hotel . In the morning we visited a view point which was so beautiful to watch . later by 12 in the afternoon we had to visit the islands by boat and the cost for it was 1000 THB per person including lunch and dinner . One of the best guide which we meet during our tour to PHI PHI islands . The most enthusiastic person with so positive spirit .The most amazing part is they care about their islands, ask us to keep it clean . This is it .

Must Read - We just wanted to spend a day in Phuket and the experience was quite good . On the 7th Morning we had a flight to catch and by the time COVID'19 errupted again . It was spreading like anything in various part of the world including India . GO airlines without informing cancelled our flights and there was no one to answer . Due to that we had to book other flights . so now again we had to go from Phuket to Bangkok and from Bangkok to Chennai and from Chennai to Ahmadabad . which took us a extra day reaching our destination . By the time it turned so strict every where which was quite good and scary at the same time . Every flight started their process to check if any one had fever and stuff . Long queues for immigration exit . We had to submit a self declaration form before the immigration exit . After reaching Chennai we inquired why our flight s cancelled ? The airlines employees didn't have any answers . Moral of the story is - Please stay at home Stay safe . Just imagine our flight got cancelled for single day and we were so tensed that how we would even reach our home back . Imagine people who cannot afford to eat or daily wages people . We should be thankful to God . Food & Family is gratitude .#lockdown....Stay safe people .
