Taking public transport and getting lost in Bangkok

Getting lost in Bangkok

As inspiration for traveling in Thailand, exploring Bangkok when in 2014 I was in Bangkok for a few days. You should know I actually have a love & hate relationship with Bangkok. When I am in Bangkok I love to be there for a few days but then I am also very happy to get out of the concrete jungle. And when I am in Bangkok I always try to get lost somewhere along the mighty Chao Phraya River. So I first took the skytrain as modern way of transport, then an old fashioned klong boat and last by not least a little bit walking between the soi's of a Chinese style community living along the old klongs of Bangkok. Like 50 years ago in the "Venice of Asia". And the weird thing is that this other Bangkok is just a few km away from the modern skyscrapers and shoppingmalls of Silom. Getting lost in Bangkok is highly recommended! And then there is always Google Maps to find your hotel again. If you need help in getting lost in Bangkok or anywhere in Thailand then send me a email at The Little Elephant in Thailand.
