Travel Day 652 – Bangkok, THAILAND This only full day in Bangkok was quite a busy one, especially because everything hat to get done that I couldn’t get done easily in Nepal… So after some nice breakfast in the hostel, it was time to do some packing and organizing as some items needed to be […]
Travel Day 651 – Kathmandu to Bangkok, THAILAND The day started pretty early with hailing a cab, waving a last good-bye to Thamel and Kathmandu, plus catching a flight to Bangkok… While the flight was technically nice, it was unfortunately delayed and by the time we finally arrived and received the luggage, I realized that […]
Travel Day 1137-38 – Bangkok, THAILAND After treating my wound from the past at the Bumrungrad Hospital yesterday, today I had to look at the future and start preparations for my visit in Myanmar… Luckily I had taken care of all the visa formalities for Myanmar back in July when I first arrived in Bangkok. […]
Travel Day 1136 – Bangkok, THAILAND While I had really enjoyed my stay in Sri Lanka, unfortunately I had left the country with a little souvenir I never wanted, an infected wound on my foot… This infected wound had started pretty harmlessly as a simple scratch back in Anuradhapura and over time it had become […]
Travel Day 1109 – Bangkok to Colombo, SRI LANKA After arriving back in Bangkok yesterday evening, today I could really only do some errands, pack my backpack and get ready for Colombo and Sri Lanka… Actually since I had arrived in Bangkok with my huge backpack including my Tabla and since I knew that I […]
Travel Day 1108 – Koh Tao to Bangkok, THAILAND It didn’t seem fair, but the weather was finally really good, I was starting to feel quite comfortable on Koh Tao and yet I had to leave everything behind already… I guess I always knew that I would only have a few days left to visit […]
Travel Day 1090 – Bangkok, THAILAND Over the past couple of days I had seen so many sights during the day that I actually started seeing them at night as well… It was funny because Bangkok was so famous for its night-life and usually visitors seemed to spend a lot of their time in bars, […]
Travel Day 1089 – Bangkok, THAILAND Today I visited another place that I had been passing by every single day since I had arrived in Bangkok, Wat Suthat… Generally quite unspectacular from the outside, Wat Suthat stayed rather in my focus because of two distinct circumstances. For once it was located facing the biggest open […]
Travel Day 1088 – Bangkok, THAILAND After seeing the un-touristic sight of Mahakan Fort yesterday, today I decided to join the masses of fellow foreigners and visit Wat Arun, the Temple of Dawn… Wat Arun happened to be another sight that I always wanted to visit when in Bangkok, but since it was situated across […]
Travel Day 1087 – Bangkok, THAILAND One place I constantly seemed to pass by over the last couple of days was Mahakan Fort and today was actually the first time that I decided to stop and have a closer look… During previous visits of Bangkok I had already passed many times a white wall adjacent […]
Travel Day 1086 – Bangkok, THAILAND When I was taking the skytrain yesterday from the embassy to Siam Square, I noticed something again that struck me already a few days ago: Bangkok was the future… Bangkok did obviously feel like the future already when I arrived from Nepal, but even after living in New York […]
Travel Day 1085 – Bangkok, THAILAND Since yesterday happened to be a local holiday in Thailand, today I was finally off to the embassy of Myanmar to apply for a visa… Actually for the longest time I meant to visit Myanmar or Burma, as it used to be called during the British era, and now […]
Travel Day 1084 – Bangkok, THAILAND My visit at Wat Pho had made for such a nice day, that today I naturally decided to visit another sight, What Saket and the Golden Mountain… Wat Saket was one of those places that I been seeing every single time when I was in Bangkok, but I never […]
