Cruising with magical scenery in Bangkok, Thailand

    Referring to cruising, people usually tie it up with expensive price. And It is absolutely true that It costs you arms and legs to pay for it. In Thailand, It costs more than minimum daily wage of people in Thailand. Hence, It will be too far from reach for many people. Thankfully, I was wandering around my hometown Bangkok after finishing my class. And I found out that cruising in the river is not as expensive as I thought. It is actually quite cheap in comparison. Therefore, I headed up to Tha Praathit pier to hop on the boat. I planned to go to Asiatique. Even though I am Thai, I have never been to Asiatique before. It will be my first time to go to Asiatique 


    I have to get on the boat from 1st station to the last station to go to asiatique. I was hesitantly to go there as looking over my head, It seemed like it was going to rain for sure. However, I live in Thailand for the whole of my life so I know that sometimes the weather is unpredictable. Why thinking about the rain, why not going out instead and keep concerns to myself. So, I bought a ticket. It costs me only 30 bath which is less than 1 USD. It is extremely cheap compare to the view that I will be witnessing myself.



    Along the way to Asiatique, I have seen many tourist attractions that I know that there are but I have never been there such as church, hotels and etc. By the riverside, you will see combination between skycrapper and old style house which is quite contrast but perfectly match. And from time to time, you will see many restaurants that are decorated by lights and colorful things. 


    I spent like 2 hours in Asiatique to see many things and eat Taiyaki with hokkaido milk sauce. It was super yummy. After seeing many things in there. I decided to go back home. At first, I was going to use skytrain back home. But once I walked back to the pier. The beautifulness of riverside entice me to use boat instead. It costs me 30 baht again to back to my accommodation. And this time, the view is even getting more beautiful as the light from building shining through the surface of river. It was stunning.



    As I have said before that I have lived in Thailand for more than 20 years. And yet many hidden gems in Bangkok that I have never visited from now on. I will regularly check out my hometown and then see beautiful places. 




    For sure that every weekend from now on, I will go around Bangkok and see the places. and I know that the places that I have never seen must be very beautiful 


Bye for now. Next blog is going to be places in Bangkok.

Chiang Mai once, Chiang Mai forever.

Good day everyone. Our Songkran holiday has passed and we still have to work after a long holiday. I know that lots of people still want more holiday or wish holiday to extend.  It is sad but true. And today, I have a story to tell you, readers, that I visited Chaing Mai, province in Thailand, for two days. I honestly have never been to Chiang Mai. Eventhough, I am fully Thai and Chiang Mai is also the destination of Thais as well.  So It was my first time as well visiting Chiang Mai.     I was not planning to visit Chiang Mai at first as It was not on my wish list. I actually wanted to visit Phuket, province in south part of Thailand. However, my friend, she decided to drive from Chiang Mai back to Bangkok. And by that I don't have to pay for ticket to go back to Bangkok. So, I decided to visit Chiang Mai this time. Before going to anywhere, I usually take a look at the situation in that area and found out that in Chiang Mai during that time, Smog due to wildfire is...

     Once a week, there will be appointment with me regarding topic that I usually like to convey to readers. Today, I would like to talk about the dream. Since I was young, I wanted to see snow and play with it but due to lacking of money, therefore, I cannot travel aboard. Once, I saved enough money to go to Europe, I decided that this time is the right time for me. I booked the ticket and flew down to Oslo, capital city of Norway.       Upon arrival to Gardemoen Airport, I saw tons of snow beside the airport. I was so surprised and happy. Finally! I made it to Norway. However, the luck does not come to me always. On that day, It rains like cats and dogs, therefore, snow is not falling down. I counted since day one, and on Friday 22nd November. I guessed it because the temperature went down below minus 5 so, the snow was falling a lot. I could not express how my feelings has changed at that time, as the dream comes to me. I went outside with the dog ...
