Quick Stop in Bangkok

We arrived late in Bangkok late the night before and stayed in hotel not far from DMK airport called Louis Tavern. It was about 45 minute car journey out of the city, it was a nice hotel that looked to be recently renovated.

We got up early because we had booked a walking tour of Bangkok and our tour guide (named Nutty) was meeting us in the city centre by one of the subway train stations. The tour ended up only being my girlfriend and I so Nutty said we could decided what we wanted to see most but to be honest we didn't know a lot about Bangkok so we just had her take us to where she already had planned.

The tour lasted six hours and in that time we visited three different temples - no shorts are allowed in temples and woman have to cover their arms. At one of them we stopped and fed some turtles they had in the pond there. We went to street markets to look at the goods the locals sell and tried some food, that consisting of chilli catfish - which it was - jellied rice sheets which was sweet and frog, it tasted like chicken.

We requested the tour to end in China Town because our second tour was starting from there in an hour. First we went into the mall and got a coffee from the Starbucks, after all that walking we deserved a treat and a rest. Before the hour had completely passed we waited outside the mall where we would meet our next tour guide Tom. We a food tour with him through AirBnB. The tour was us and one other person following Tom around China Town and stopping at different street food vendors to try authentic food, we also stopped at a few small restaurants that had Michelin commendations. The food and experience overall was excellent.

After the tour we were so tired we headed back to the hotel to get a early night because we had another tour the next day.
