Back in Bangkok 

I’m back in Thailand, exploring Bangkok! I started my SE Asia trip here 2 months ago, but didn’t have much time to explore. There’s so much to see and do here, I wanted to make sure I allowed myself enough time.
The past few days I’ve been sightseeing in different districts, soaking in all the temples and buildings. It’s also really hot (way hotter than Ho Chi Minh!), so I pop into cafes and air conditioned buildings frequently!

I wanted to share some pictures I took – mostly of temples, but a few other sights as well. Sorry they’re not descriptive – I don’t know the names of anything!

The infrastructure is amazing here. They have a lot of these elevated walking paths. Not only do they keep you away from traffic, but in the heat they keep you sheltered and cool!

Today I’m headed to another hostel and will share a post on the gorgeous old town!

  1. Glad you’re getting out and exploring Bangkok. I remember how the heat and humidity could just feel overwhelming. We drank lots of Thai iced tea. Delicious! At least there are tons of coffee shops around where you can cool off a bit. Aren’t the temples just amazing? One is more ornate than the next. Your photos were beautiful. It looks like you are having nice sunny weather. Have fun. Love you!

  2. Beautiful pictures of the temples. Aren’t they amazing? And there are so many of them after awhile you just get a bit jaded…oh, it’s just another temple……
    The ornateness and the attention to detail are just amazing.
    Can you believe the energy in Bangkok? It’s incredible. 24/7. It never stops. Don’t know what it would be like to live there but a fun place to visit. We actually talked to some people that lived there and they loved it. Believe it or not, there are neighborhoods where you can get away from all the craziness….
    Looks like you made it to the other side of the river. Mom and I never made it over there. How is it? Nice pictures of the Bangkok skyline…
    Good idea to give yourself enough time to explore all of the different neighborhoods. If you get a chance, check out a bike tour. We heard they were really cool.
    Enjoy this crazy city. Mom and I thought it was one of the most unique cities we had ever been to.

    Love you!

  3. Beautiful photos. There are so many sights to see in Bangkok. Just the number of temples is incredible. Any every one is totally unique. No two temples are alike.
    Can you believe the energy in Bangkok? 24/7. It never stops. Definitely one of the more electric and alive cities Mom and I have been to.
    Glad you’re spending some extra time there to really explore all the different parts of the city. There is certainly a lot to see.
    Yes, the infrastructure is good with the Skyway and all the elevated walkways to keep you removed from the crazy city traffic. Can you imagine what it must have been like trying to get around before the Skyway was built? Insane!
    Enjoy your stay.
    Love you!

  4. Beautiful pictures! Can you believe how many different temples there are? And each one is totally unique. No two temples are even remotely the same. And each one is beautiful. The ornate details and the attention to detail is amazing. And the amount of gold on these temples is incredible.
    Can you believe the energy in Bangkok? 24/7. It never stops. Mom and I had never seen a city quite like this!
    Yes, the infrastructure is good. The Skyway, the elevated walkways…
    Can you imagine trying to get around Bangkok on the city streets before the Skyway was put in? Craziness!
    Glad you have the time to explore and the different neighborhoods. There certainly is a lot to see!
    Love you!
