Bangkok: 01/06 -04/06

---

Our first steps bring us to Bangkok after a long journey from Paris via Berlin and Abu Dhabi.

Bangkok is a busy, lovely and charming place with lots of temple and history.

It is a very hot and humid place. Be ready to sweat from your eye-lids!

In terms of transport, there is 2 underground lines (RMT) and 2 skytrain lines (BTS) in addition of the river boats and tuc-tuc and taxis.

Easy to understand and to apprehend, we have been able to try them all.

For food, the best is to eat at the food market / stalls to eat with the locals. Local thai or chinese food: a pure treat! Rice or Noodles with plenty of vegs, fruits, tea and beer!

You will find stalls selling octopus stick, chicken satay, crickets...

Yes, crickets taste like pork scratching: don't be shy - you have to try!!

We visited the obvious: Grand Palace, Wat Pho, Wat Arun, the massive outdoor market Chatuchak Market, Chinatown.

It is just a pleasure to have a wonder on the streets of Bangkok.

4 days are enough to see Bangkok even if you can easily stay for much longer or much less for some people, I guess.

Our highligts: people are genuine, helpful and they smile ! Food is amazing - Such a pleasure.

Anecdote: We were waiting at a stall to have mini rolled pancakes with sausages and eggs when the previous customer offers to order for us as the merchant wasn't speaking english. What a nice gesture! and then he also offers to pay for us. What a surprise! Thank you again Mister! The pancakes were even nicer!

Bangkok: We will be back!

Now destination Indonesia: Bali here we come...
