postcards from bangkok - part 1

On our way to Lisbon, we had 24 hours in Bangkok. It wasn’t by choice but ended up being a great experience. What I kept from it was the kindness of the people, who always tried their best to help and communicate with us, even if most times we couldn’t understand each other. The city’s landscape… well, it’s not exactly a reflex of the paradise that the word Thailand brings to mind, naturally. Those paradise views are somewhere else in the country, by the beaches and away from the noise and pollution of the big city.

It is really great to leave somewhere feeling like you’ve made the most of it. We only had 24 hours in Bangkok but we definitely made the most out of every minute there. And we did it “by any means” - trains, boats, motorbikes… both in the jungle (yep!) and through the chaotic traffic in the city. Stopovers are so much more fun when you get to actually leave the airport and go out exploring.

Estou mortinha por voltar à Tailandia! Tens razão, Bangkok não é bem a representação que um tem deste país mas adorei mesmo assim! E fizeste bem mais do que nó que estivemos lá mais tempo mas acabámos por não andar de barco :(

MUST.Go.Back.
