Bangkok: a perfect ending to the story

What’s Bangkok got to do with the trip? Objectively, not a lot. But personally, it has everything to do with our trip.

From the start, we set Bangkok as a place to cool down before returning to Indonesia. The only main itinerary we had in mind was Thai massage and Thai food. And we had a blast.

I cannot begin to tell you. I love Bangkok! Not only because the food is excellent, if you know where to go. Fresh fish, great vegetable dish, durians, etc etc. But also because I feel very safe traveling in the city as a tourist. They have great public transport, the train, the underground train and the bus as well as great places to stay. All great. Kuddos to Bangkok.

Our last night together. Sad. But happy to the possibility of returning home. After one month, we were ready to say "at last, the holiday ends.." We were determined to spend the last night together so we stayed up until about three in the morning, roaming around Bangkok. On foot. I supposed the old (Nepalese) habit dies hard. And enjoyed a hainan chicken rice at two o’clock in the morning in one of those street vendors. Was yummy as well. Imagine trying to order one plate of chicken rice, one plate of chicken and three cups of hot tea in a Bangkok's street food stall with zero ability to speak Thai.

ps: will try to find a suitable picture for this.
