Day 2: The Tworists

Jb arrived in Bangkok around midnight and we had to get out of the hotel early in the morning since we were planning to visit the temples. Yup, our first day together was spent to get the touristy stuff out of the way.

Thankfully, both Jb and I don’t like crowded places so he understood when I said I want to experience peaceful temples, should I ever need to go. And so that we did.

We had 𝙘𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙥�� 𝙥𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙖𝙠𝙚𝙨 for breakfast which was sold along the street going to the bus station. They look like mini tacos with sweet or salty fillings on what seemed to be melted marshmallows in each of the “pancakes”.

Turns out, I am the patient one between the two of us. Since the bus took a little too long, he decided we should take the cab. We got to our first destination which is the 𝙈𝙖𝙧𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙏𝙚𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙤𝙧 𝙒𝙖𝙩 𝘽𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙢𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙥𝙝𝙞𝙩 at Dusit district. Annnddd going early was definitely worth it! I loved this destination so much cos it was how I imagine temples would be – quiet, serene, peaceful. You can hear the birds and the trees; you can actually find peace and rest inside.

We stayed for an hour seated in one of their benches and just walking around. We left for the 𝘼𝙣𝙩𝙞-𝘾𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙪𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙈𝙪𝙨𝙚𝙪𝙢 next which was only a few blocks away from the temple. Unfortunately, it was still closed when we got there so we weren’t able to go around.

𝙂𝙐𝙔𝙎!!! On our way to the next stop we saw 𝙈𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙤 𝙈𝙖𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙧 shooting in an unmarked street. I use to dream about meeting celebrities randomly when I get to visit their home country but I never really thought I can ever see one. Definitely made the Thailand trip more memorable. 𝘖𝘬𝘢𝘺 𝘮𝘰𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘯

It was expected that our next stop was a more popular temple where tourists flock even at the peak harmful heat of noon. We had lunch at a simple restaurant near the destination and had our first actual Thai food together (It was superb!!! I will never ever forget how good Thai food is!!).

𝙒𝙖𝙩 𝘼𝙧𝙪𝙣 was packed with a lot of people but we were still starstruck. It was so beautifully detailed and it was just so gorgeous. I understood, at first sight a few blocks away, why it was so popular among tourists. You just cannot ignore it if you are in Bangkok.

After about half an hour of going around under the 35 degrees heat, we decided to rest at their café near the pier going to Wat Pho. We had iced drinks and discovered that their plastic cups were 100% compostable since they’re made from plants! We were so amazed you guys! 𝘗𝘸𝘦𝘥𝘦 𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘱𝘢𝘭𝘢!!!

The extreme weather and fatigue started taking a toll on Jb by this time so his migraine started again. And his migraine attacks are 𝘉 𝘈 𝘋. I made him wear my hat cos he forgot his back home. I asked if he wanted to go back to the hotel but he said he wanted to finish our itinerary and so we continued.

The boat ride going across the 𝙋𝙝𝙧𝙖𝙮𝙖 𝙧𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙧 to get to 𝙒𝙖𝙩 𝙋𝙝𝙤 was 4THB which is basically how much one jeepney ride cost in Manila. There was a market on the dock going to Wat Pho and there were several nice but a bit expensive cafés around. When we got to the supposedly 3rd temple, we became aware that their entrance fee doubled. So we decided to pass it up. We stayed for a few minutes resting in one of their benches instead.

When Jb felt a little ready, we decided to take the ferry going back to the hotel since his migraine was getting worse and I had to work. Lol. He was asleep almost the whole ride but I was able to enjoy it, people watching and sight-seeing.

The moment we got back to the hotel, Jb fell asleep. We weren’t able to explore our accoms area since he really can’t. So I decided to leave my room and explore by myself.

I had my quiet time at the 𝘾𝙝𝙞𝙗𝙞 𝘾𝙝𝙞𝙗𝙞 café which was right in front of our stay. After an hour or so of reflection and journaling, I explored the malls around us and bought dinner from 7-eleven and street stalls for both of us. I delivered him his dinner and decided to call it a night… at around 9pm

.

My 2nd day and our 1st day together wasn’t perfect and we weren’t able to go to all the places we planned to visit but it still worked. We had a great day despite his headache, he had an early night to rest fully, and I had my alone time.

For a first day of our first actual trip together, it was not bad at all. Tip: find someone who gets you. It would be a hell lot easier to travel with that person.

𝙄𝙏𝙄𝙉𝙀𝙍𝘼𝙍𝙔:

- Marble Temple / Wat Benchamabophit - Anti-Corruption Museum - Lunch: Kinnam Kinnom, now a Halal restau (food still good tho!) - Wat Arun - Wat Pho (would cost you close to 1k in pesos to get inside) - Phraya River ferry - Chibi Chibi Café - 7-Eleven dinner

There’s always first time for everything. 

First love. 

First impression.

First hello. 

First salary. 

First time for new experience. 

Like what I did today. Not my first trip abroad, but first trip for work purpose overseas. Seems promising, eh? But also nervous and clueless. 

Second time I visit Bangkok since 11 years ago. 

Hey Bangkok, please be nice. I whispered to myself. 

First time do something always give us mixed feeling. Afraid, worry, excited, curious. 

I don’t how my friends look like. I don’t know how their habits are. I don’t how we should treat each other. Because I haven’t met them yet. 

I think this is a good start to begin my 2020 journey~ Yeah I wish.

Day 1 Part 2: Exploration No. 01

After going through the unexpected happy incident of stay upgrade, I was finally able to walk the streets of Bangkok without worrying about major things. The only goal was: 𝘏𝘜𝘞𝘈𝘎 𝘔𝘈𝘓𝘐𝘎𝘈𝘞.

As a city gorl, 𝘥𝘪 𝘢𝘬𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘴𝘺𝘢𝘥𝘰 𝘯𝘢𝘩𝘪𝘳𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘨𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘬𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘨 commute system. I relied on google maps on what routes to take. There was a train and some bus stations near us so it’s already pretty convenient. Their public commute system was organized so it’s not bad at all.

My agenda for my only solo day was simple – go to their Kilometer Zero marker, visit the nearby galleries, have a quiet time near a scenic river, and get post cards. So, after a 15-minute walk and another 15-minute waiting time, I boarded bus number 9.

The only problem I had was that their signs were all in Thai! And even in google, the places were mostly in their language. I needed to keep showing their ticket person (basically 𝘬𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘰𝘬𝘵𝘰𝘳) my destination through my phone so they would know and let me know when I have to get off. Anyway, you can track yourself through the google maps app so it was already convenient. It was amusing and really commendable.

The 0 𝙆𝙞𝙡𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙈𝙖𝙧𝙠𝙚𝙧 is around their 𝘿𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙘𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙮 𝙈𝙤𝙣𝙪𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 which is at Pra Nakhon district. There are 2 galleries; Contemporary Art Gallery and The Queen’s Gallery, and an interactive exhibit; Rattanakosin Exhibition Hall, around the area as well.

After checking out their 0km marker (which is poorly kept, hehe), I ate my lunch at the most authentic place to – at Mcdonald’s! HAHAHA I know, okay!! But I had to get it out of the way cos I’m already there and I wanted to check out the fastfood menu. Sorry to disappoint!

Walking back to where I got off, the first stop was the 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙢𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙖𝙧𝙮 𝘼𝙧𝙩 𝙂𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙧𝙮! There was no entrance fee but you have to register. (Every door and desk you would approach have a hand sanitizer container free for everyone, even in buses and trains, so it’s somewhat reassuring to go around the city.) There was a fresh exhibit at the ground floor but they direct you to 3rd floor first, where the ASEAN Exhibit was ongoing.

I had fun going around the ASEAN exhibit since there’s no other visitors but 2 kids playing at the designated area. I went around and checked out the interactive displays (some details about the Philippines were inaccurate! Haha) and then the guard respectfully approached me to tell me he’d gladly take my photo if I need him to. I did give him my phone for a photo. It was nice how accommodating he was.

The interior of the gallery was interesting so I decided to take the stairs going down. I already thought of my artist friends holding their own exhibits there. Would be great if I could come with them next time, they’d sure appreciate it too.

There were more people at the ground floor exhibit which I later on found out to be an ongoing installation which would open for public the next day; Conflux, a five-artist group exhibit. The organizers let me go around, though. 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙄 𝙢𝙚𝙩 3 𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙨 𝙬𝙝𝙤 𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠𝙨!

I met 𝙂𝙪𝙢𝙨𝙖𝙠 𝘼𝙩𝙞𝙥𝙞𝙗𝙤𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙣 who painted gorgeous abstract pieces, 𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙬𝙚𝙚 𝙏𝙪𝙣𝙜𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙜𝙠𝙤𝙡𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙩 who painted realistic industrial remains, and 𝙉𝙪𝙩𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙚 𝙏𝙚𝙘𝙝𝙬𝙞𝙧𝙞𝙮𝙖𝙩𝙖𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙣 who painted details portraits of popular skin care activities. Thawee approached me and asked me if I’m there for the exhibit and I told him I was passing by and took my chance to explore the enticing installations. He was pleased to hear it so he introduced himself to me then the other 2 artists to me. They told me about the opening the following day. They invited me and we had a few more minutes of conversation before they left me to go around by myself.

It was already past 3pm when I got out of the Contemporary Art Gallery so I wasn’t able to catch the last interactive exhibit at Rattanakosin Exhibition Hall so I went to walk around for a while instead. I passed by the 𝙍𝙤𝙮𝙖𝙡 𝙋𝙖𝙫𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙈𝙖𝙝𝙖𝙟𝙚𝙩𝙨𝙖𝙙𝙖𝙗𝙖𝙙𝙞𝙣 and 𝙆𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙍𝙖𝙢𝙖 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙄𝙄𝙄’s statue.

I stopped by the 𝙋𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙛𝙖 𝙗𝙧𝙞𝙙𝙜𝙚 and just absorbed the stillness around. It was shady around the area so it was a good afternoon quiet time.

The Queen’s Gallery was closed but I wanted to continue my peaceful exploration so I continued walking the 𝙋𝙝𝙧𝙖 𝙎𝙪𝙢𝙚𝙣 𝙧𝙤𝙖𝙙. I passed by several cafes and quaint bars and stopped by Passport Bookshop to get postcards.

I found 𝙋𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙥𝙤𝙧���� 𝘽𝙤𝙤𝙠𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙥 to be one of my favorite stops the entire Bangkok trip because of the place itself. It was a small bookshop and café with lots of postcards from many people who once visited the shop. The postcards were sent from different places and I plan to send them one once this ECQ ends. There were so many interesting books with really creative covers but I didn’t get any since I’d be visiting more bookshops with the boyfriend in the coming days.

After the bookshop, I passed by a stationary shop and waited for the bus in front of it as the owner suggested. I was able to catch a non-air conditioned bus going back and got stuck in traffic for quite a while. I bought some food and fruits on my walk back to the accommodation.

𝘞𝘦𝘸! 𝘕𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘥 𝘥𝘪𝘯 𝘢𝘬𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘬𝘸𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘰! Haha And that is how my only solo day in Bangkok went. It was definitely one for the books. If you’re traveling to another country with someone else, try to ask for a solo day and see what amazing stories you might have throughout.

𝙄𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙧𝙮:

- Rang Nam Alley, Ratchathewi District (where accoms is) - Democracy Monument - The 0 Kilometer markter - Mcdo (lol) - Contemporary Art Gallery - Rattanakosin Exhibition Hall (Di ako umabot lol) - Phanfa Bridge - The Queen’s Gallery (closed on Wednesdays! >:c) - Passport Bookshop
