Bangkok: Part 3 - City Tour


Our first tuk tuk ride in Bangkok.. yippiee..

Not a bad ride but became our first lesson being cheated here.. should negotiate the fare before take the ride.. we learnt from this and moving forward, we negotiated to the lowest fare we can get




Some pics around the city. btw, we stayed at Chinatown area, so most of the shops selling chinese items


The Grand Palace
Didnt get into the palace area, place was about to close its gate





Just stroll around the palace


Snap some pics


Visitors Information - Open from 8.30 am until 3.30pm, everyday



Silpakorn University opposite the Palace. Along the street, you can find hawkers selling souvenir (cheap one, better than chatuchak) and coconut ice cream.. cheap and super nice



We continued on foot touring the city near the river area.. The first temple after the Grand Palace is the Wat Apo.. Same as the previous Palace,we just passed by the temple and continue walking to the river bank..




If we were here a lil bit late, sure we will enjoy the beautiful sunset along the chao phraya river..
but since we were really2 hungry, we opted to leave this hot spot earlier to MBK Mall, again by tuk tuk



Across the river is Wat Arun, the most pictured wat along this river.

Miss the sunset and cruise moment this time but sure when we back to Bangkok, will hop on the cruise.
