Our first stop was The Grand Palace since it was around the corner from the hotel we stayed at. However, we completely forgot about the clothing restriction To enter the Grand Palace you must be fully covered pretty much from head to toe. Cameron and I had decided to walk around the outside of the building & when we return to Bangkok we knew we would put this at the top of our list!
Here's a picture outside the Palace!
Once we passed the Grand Palace we decided to head over to the Reclining Buddha. To enter we had to pay 50 baht each which is about $4 each. Pretty cheap to see some amazing sites!
We LOVED the Reclining Buddha and would totally recommend this to anyone who is visiting Bangkok. Once in the grounds there was plenty to do! We saw the Buddha and then also toured the grounds and saw many other Buddha's and some breathtaking architecture! We spent about 2 hours touring through the beautiful scenery.
Here's a few pictures from inside!
After we checked the reclining Buddha off our list we knew we wanted to take a water taxi and head over to the Wat Arun. We decided to walk threw this neat little market where there was tons of shopping and street food! We stopped for some fruit & headed to the water taxi. The water taxi cost us 15 baht each and took us right in front of the Wat Arun. The Wat Arun was under construction so we didn't get to walk all the way up to the top to see it's amazing views. We still got to walk around the grounds and see the great architecture!
Here are a few pictures from the Wat Arun.
After seeing the few placed we wanted to see in Bangkok we knew we had to get over to the bus station to be able to buy tickets to take us into Krabi. We jumped in a cab that took us about 15 minutes to get to the bus station in Bangkok. Since we had done our research the night before we knew exactly which bus terminal to go to, to buy our tickets. Our tickets from Bangkok to Krabi cost 550 baht which is about $20. Not too bad considering it was a 12 hour bus ride!
The bus station was great!! Tons to do and see, there were many restaurants and choices for food. Even a KFC! & there were TONS of shopping options on each floor. We even saw there was a huge night market outside the bus terminal that started around 6pm and went almost all night! We loved sitting in the bus station and people watching! Mind you, the people in the bus station also loved watching us! Haha
Once on the bus Cameron and I slept most of the way. The bus ran over night and we arrived in Krabi around 9 am! It was perfect, we basically got a free nights stay and even some snacks and free water on the bus! We would highly recommend taking the bus over the train as we heard the train's are pretty non reliable.
Interested in what we get up to next? Keep checking back as Ill be updating you more on our travels!
Thanks for reading!
