Coffee stop
5. januar 2025, Thailand ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
The bike shop mentioned that they only had rentals available for one day, meaning we would have to return the bike by 9 AM the next morning. However, we needed it for longer since our flight was in the evening and we didn’t want to be without a vehicle for the entire afternoon. So, we decided to skip this shop.

After that, we took a break at the next coffee shop to look for other options.Les mer

A sweet ride
5. januar 2025, Thailand ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
We found a shop near Chinatown that had vehicles available for two days, so we headed there. I booked a Bolt to the address, and when the cab arrived, it was unlike any other, stocked with snacks and other goodies for riders, with just one simple rule: don’t litter!Les mer

Deal on Wheels

The rental price was 300 Baht per day, but they agreed to 500 Baht for two days since we were returning it in just 1.5 days. The owner also warned us to avoid getting caught by Bangkok’s traffic police, but of course, we did!Les mer

Wrong turn & lucky escape
5. januar 2025, Thailand ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
On our way to Park Sathorn Restaurant, I mistakenly followed Google Maps into a restricted road where two-wheelers weren’t allowed. The traffic police immediately called us back. The first thing they asked for was our license—specifically an international driving permit for tourists. We showed them the FIR from Phi Phi, explaining that our license and IDP were stolen (even though I never actually had an IDP). Luckily, they let us go without any trouble.Les mer

An unexpected connection
5. januar 2025, Thailand ⋅ ⛅ 32 °C
We headed to Pratunam Market again, navigating its narrow roads on our bike. A young kid approached us, promoting an Indian restaurant. Since I was really craving Indian food, I asked if they accepted UPI, and he confirmed they did, so we followed him in for lunch.

Indian-owned restaurants in Thailand often accept UPI, making it easy for Indian travelers. Inside, the place was filled with Indian customers, all speaking Hindi. While eating, I inquired if they could exchange Baht for UPI transfers. Many did, but their exchange rates were quite high.

While searching for a better deal, we met two Indian guys, Dev and Vinay, who work in Bangkok and vlog on weekends (@DevBhumitoSuvarnaBhumi on YouTube). We instantly connected, and they generously withdrew ฿10,000 from an ATM for us at the normal exchange rate. We transferred the equivalent amount via UPI, chatted for a while, and then parted ways—us heading for shopping, and them off to film their vlog.Les mer

Shopping Spree
5. januar 2025, Thailand ⋅ ⛅ 32 °C
Now that we had enough cash, we headed to The Platinum Fashion Mall, a well-known shopping hub for clothes. While I mostly shop online, Sam prefers offline shopping, so this was more her scene.

The mall had separate sections for men, women, and kids spread across different floors. We split up to explore on our own. I quickly realized that the prices weren’t much different from what I could get in India, so I wrapped up fast. But for Sam, shopping was an event—she needed hours!

Since I didn’t want to wait around, we decided I’d head back to the hotel while she continued shopping. I installed the Bolt app on her phone, showed her how to use it, and left, knowing she’d make her way back later.Les mer

A stroll through Khao San Road
5. januar 2025, Thailand ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C
On my way back to the hotel, I parked my scooter near Khao San Road and decided to take a walk down the lively street. Known as the backpacker hub, Khao San Road is a vibrant spot that truly comes alive at night, offering a mix of street food, bars, music, and an electrifying atmosphere. It’s the perfect place to experience Bangkok’s nightlife in full swing!Les mer

MBK Center
6. januar 2025, Thailand ⋅ ⛅ 31 °C
Watching Sam shop so much, I started feeling a bit of FOMO and decided to give shopping a try this time. So, next we headed to MBK Center which is one of Bangkok’s biggest and most famous shopping malls. While MBK Center isn’t just for clothes, it features major Thai and international brands, which is costly. So we decided to head back to The Platinum Fashion Mall for some budget-friendly shopping instead.Les mer
