    Gatwick - Dubai - Bangkok

    3. joulukuuta 2024, Yhdistyneet Arabiemiirikunnat ⋅ 🌙 21 °C

    We had a lift with Leigh and Jackie down to Gatwick, it was a very early start leaving at 3.30AM. We were both super excited to be flying with Emirates and on an A380 airplane, the biggest plane in the world. It was a great flight with wonderful service and amazing food. We seemed to get to Dubai for our first stopover quite quickly.

    The last photo shows the size of the jet on this plane, must have been bigger than our van, the plane also had 24 wheels!!

    The plane was delayed by 30 mins which meant we had quite a rush to our next gate and to board our second Emirates flight, this flight was a little shorter but the plane was rammed and we ended up next to a family with a young baby so we knew it was going to be a long night. 😂.. Finally landed in Bangkok! The heat hit us as soon as we stepped off.. Thailand here we go!!    Lue lisää

    1. Bangkok

    4. joulukuuta 2024, Thaimaa ⋅ ⛅ 35 °C

    We had a private taxi waiting for us at Bangkok airport, we jumped in and headed into the city. We were so happy to be in the sunshine and the chaotic Thai roads. We headed straight to our hotel and they allowed us to check in 5 hours early, we both had a much needed shower and headed into the city for some nice food.

    We had abit of an explore and then headed back to our hotel, we had been awake for 29 hours by this time as didnt sleep much on the plane. So early night for us ready for dentist tomorrow! 😬😬    Lue lisää

    2. Bangkok

    5. joulukuuta 2024, Thaimaa ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C

    Today we both went for our Thai dentist appointment, we chose to have some work done whilst here due to their much more affordable pricing. Their dentists are trained in America so we knew the standards would still be high. After a 2 hour appointment, we were done.. I Was quite impressed Grace not so...😂. James has to go back tomorrow for another appointment , a long process but very thorough.
    After this, with a numb mouth, we headed straight into town. We decided to have a look around the huge shopping malls, these were all decorated with Christmas Anime which was fun, they had lots of lovely food stalls to look around with food luring us in on every corner.
    Afterwards, we decided to take a bus down to Lumphini Park, which is famous for huge monitor lizards in the centre of Bangkok. It had parts of the park lit up with lights, its so nice to explore Bangkok at night, seems to come alive. After a walk around the huge park we caught the bus back to the hotel.

    3. Bangkok

    6. joulukuuta 2024, Thaimaa ⋅ 🌙 30 °C

    Today James had an early appointment to finish off the dental work from yesterday. I was running a bit late so ordered a bolt moped ride to the appointment. This was great fun but slightly scary weaving in between all the traffic. I came back to the hotel to meet Grace.

    We took a train down to the riverside today as we had never been to this side of the city, we had some lovely food and a walk along the old parts of Bangkok. We then took a boat down to a Christmas market, Bangkok looked amazing with all the lights coming on, great experience and only 30p each. We got to the market and had an explore. Afterwards we got in a Tuk Tuk to go home, all was going great until a very clunky bang the gearbox decided to give up and I had to jump out and push us across 4 rows of mad traffic. The driver tried to fix on side of road but had no joy, he somehow managed to hike the price up aswell amd we still had a 15 min walk home.. Dont think so 😂.    Lue lisää

    4. Bangkok

    7. joulukuuta 2024, Thaimaa ⋅ 🌙 25 °C

    Today we decided to visit another part of the city which we hadnt been to before, called Silhom. The modern part area of the city with the coolest buildings. We decided to go upto the top of the tallest building in Bangkok called The King Power Mahanakhon. We shot up 314mtrs high in about 18 seconds in a super fast lift which made our ears go pop. When we arrived the sun was setting and it was a nice contrast to see Bangkok in daylight and at night. The glass floor was super fun but was a fight of the mind to enjoy being stood on there haha! Really great evening we were there for a couple of hours! Afterwards we took another Tuk Tuk back to our hotel and packed ready to move on to Khao Sak tomorrow night. We have loved Bangkok but so ready to get out of the city 🐒🌴Lue lisää

    5. Bangkok & onwards to Khao Sok

    8. joulukuuta 2024, Thaimaa ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C

    We checked out of our hotel and had most of the day to kill before going to our transfer in the evening, so decided to head to Chatuchak market. We took the train up and had an explore around one of the biggest markets in the world! We brought a few bits trying not to splurge and then have to carry everything for the next few months. Honestly if we spent £100 there we would come out with suitcases full. We are both contemplating bringing an extra suitcase back as we will probably fly home from Bangkok! ✈️ We walked through a massive garden part of the market which was awesome and had some (not so nice) food before heading back to our hotel and getting a taxi to our bus departure.

    Enroute we passed many of the sites of Bangkok passing the grand palace which we visited last year. When we arrived at the check in it was on Khaosan road which is a crazy party street, we dropped our bags went for a beer and some food here before our 16 hour overnight transfer.

    We booked a VIP bus which wasnt that VIP but both managed to have a fairly good nights sleep.    Lue lisää

    6. Khao Sok

    9. joulukuuta 2024, Thaimaa ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C

    We finally arrived in Khao Sok about 11am, it was a really scenic drive into the park. It felt very much like jurassic park driving in and this is one of the oldest rainforests in the world, at 160 million years old, in contrast The Amazon is 10 million years old!
    Our jungle hut room wasn't available until 2pm so after choosing the tour we were going to do, we headed into town for some food and an explore.
    Everything feels very jungly and humid, the noises from the surrounding trees humming like a soundtrack. It has a really clean river going through the centre of the village and loads of bars and restaurants to choose from. We had some lunch and headed back to get settled into our room. Our tree house room is awesome, such a great view from the front and very cosy and cool on the inside. After a power nap to keep us going we got ready for our outing tomorrow and had some dinner. Both slept really well listening to the monkeys and jungle sounds outside!    Lue lisää

    7. Khao Sok

    10. joulukuuta 2024, Thaimaa ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C

    Today we had an early start as we were heading into the national park. It took about an hour to drive there, the drive was so scenic!
    When we arrived we headed straight down to a thai longboat. We headed across the lake stopping along at certain viewpoints. It was a beautiful park with the 160 million year old coral reef jetting out from the lake with waterfalls and jungle scenes everywhere.
    We first stopped at a cave which was cool, it had bats on the ceiling, big spiders and a gecko camouflaging itself against the rock. We carried on to a floating mini resort, here we had a Thai meal and then had about an hour to explore the lake by kayak. After this the ones who wanted a jungle hike jumped onto a boat and headed off to a waterfall. Due to rain season coming to an end there wasn't much to see but was still cool to get into the jungle and experience the sounds and smells.
    We had a crazy thai driver taking us home, her overtaking was a bit scary! A great day in the park, now to decide if we want to go in for another hike tomorrow...    Lue lisää

    11. joulukuuta 2024, Thaimaa ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C

    We accidentally had a bit of a lie in this morning but it was much needed!
    Once we were up and sorted, we headed out for an iced coffee and some food. We decided that we were going to take a jungle hike a bit later on in the afternoon. If we bought a ticket to enter the national park later than 1630, we could use it for the next day too!
    We had a look around the shops and stalled some more time before heading to the national park entrance.
    We took a reasonable hike through the ancient jungle until we got to a little waterfall. we stopped off here for a while, wishing we had worn our swimwear as the water was so welcoming and blue.
    We carried on our circular walk for another couple of hours , hearing lots of strange noises along the way.
    Once we finished our walk, we headed back to our room for a much needed cold shower. We then treated ourselves to a penang curry and mango sticky rice in the evening.    Lue lisää

    12. joulukuuta 2024, Thaimaa ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C

    As we have stayed on an extra day we unfortunately had to switch rooms this morning. We woke up to a cooler day which was a relief for our jungle trek today. We went for some lunch which as always was delicious before meeting our guide called Boy, they gave us a lift into the national park in a truck. Once we had checked in showing our ticket to enter the park we headed off, sadly down the same paths we went down yesterday however having the advantage of being shown how to find the different wildlife enroute. We found a huge web spider, electric blue tarantula, Lemurs, Salamanders, Monkeys, Frogs, lizards and a fruit bat. Having a guide was a good way to see the wildlife and quiz about what's about. Wild elephants were here 3 days ago which was exciting as we were here then also! We stopped at some lovely waterfalls on the way. After the hike we had a few beers and we headed to our favourite restaurant and had a delicious Massaman curry and mango sticky rice. It was delicious, onwards to Khao Lak tomorrow.

    Just before bed a group of angry monkeys ramsacked our balcony whilst we were sat on it which was fun, Monkeys as they are so clever are actually quite scary!😂🌴    Lue lisää
