Bangkok

A mix of modern and historic, crazy and relaxing, beautiful and disturbing - this city is definitely worth a visit!

We visited lots of temples like the Golden Mountain ("Wat Saket"), an ancient Buddhist temple on a steep artificial hill topped with a gold chedi, plus sweeping views. We visited lots of beautiful parks and tried the local street food (nice breakfast soups and vegetables:). We even tried some of the fried insects... ;D

We really enjoyed our evening visiting the Scala Movie Theatre, a beautiful place to watch a movie! It greets you with a huge domed ceiling, ornately decorated with large art deco bronzed flowers. There are double circular staircases, winding up to the second floor under a massive chandelier that hangs from the high ceiling to just above head height... We watched Jurassic World - haha that was funny :D

I did not see much of the nightlife, but I do not think I missed out on too much. There is all sorts of entertainment though.. from those famous "pingpong shows" to streets full of pubs, clubs and bars.

Bangkok has such a diversity of things to do, anyone can definitely find the right thing for themselves and their friends!Read more
