I said that I wanted to travel, so I did. Ladies and gentlemen, here is the culmination of a few months worth of drama. HAHAHA.
I stayed at Rambuttri-House, a guest house in Rambuttri Road, a street that's a few minutes walk from the wildly popular Khao San Road. I arrived at Bangkok at around midnight so there was nothing much to see, except the nightlife. Given the fact that our flight was delayed, I opted to rest because there would be a walkathon in the morning as we would be visiting the Grand Palace complex and the surrounding wat (temples) in the area.
Reading up on the places to visit is a must so you can appreciate the place even more and that you will have an idea on the ticket prices, rules, etc. I believe that forewarned is forearmed. I got up early and set off to the Grand Palace, which is about an 8 minute walk from Rambuttri Road. Tickets cost 400 baht. The Temple of the Emerald Buddha is one of the most sacred sites in Thailand so please wear appropriate clothing.
But having low tolerance for extremely large crowds, I did not appreciate the Grand Palace that much due to the slow human traffic secondary to picture-taking. As much as possible, I tried to avoid the general direction where people are going. Despite that, I have to admit that the structures are impressive and breath-taking.
