Thailand – Day 1: Temples in BKK


I prepared the itinerary of our adventures to TH for the entire 3-day stay.  

  1. Temples
  2. Floating Market
  3. Elephant Village
  4. Chatuchak (the huge retail market in town)

Joril had to work that day, so the four of us had to explore without a tour guide. We were confident that we can manage it because we are the fantastic four. Haha. The best thing we did was “ASK”. It is always the ultimate weapon whenever exploring a foreign land.

First stop, temples! We took a cab in going there. Thanks to Kuya driver for being so nice to us. He became our instant tour guide. Salute!

The power puff girls - Mgeno, Rjagd and me
We were on our way to the entrance gate of the palace, in this photo. Jdino owns the camera,so the models have to pose. Ahem!  

The temple guards marching
Welcome to the Grand Palace!

It looked like they welcomed us because this is what we saw when we entered the gate. Feeling secured. Haha. But yeah, guards are seen anywhere in the palace. It's pretty secure.

The Three - Jdino, me and Rjagd
I can't say power puff girls anymore in this photo. Haha.

Check out the temple design. Isn't it lovely? If you will get closer, you can see the effort put into the design and the love of  doing it.

Us against the golden wall
This golden wall exhibits elegance and power. The sticking of the small blocks together to complete the structure is hard work resulting to a pretty finish. We found comfort here from the tiring heat of the sun where the glow gave us strength to carry on to our next move.

The Fantastic Four - Jdino, me, Rjagd and Mgeno
Yes, we finally had our group picture. It was so hard to take picture of the entire group, except when a good samaritan is willing to assist. Yes, Jdino had asked a pretty lady, who was also a tourist to take a picture of us. If she was our friend, we should have asked for more clicks. Haha. Thanks Miss!


The entire area of the palace is clean. Trash bins are found in the corners in green color, so you can't miss them. Trashes are collected regularly by the industrious cleaners. Great job, Kuyas!

The 3 - me, Jdino and Mgeno.
 We were on our way to the exit gate in this photo and found this perfect spot for pictorial again. Hooray!
It was tiring but educational and fun all day temple tour. xoxo
