I've been to Bangkok a lot of times but this is my first time visiting Damnoen Saduak Floating Market.
And by far, this is one of the nicest floating markets I've been to. It is
literally, a "FLOATING MARKET" where people can buy goods from the sellers
in the boats. When I first went to Ho Chi Minh, we are told that we will be
seeing a floating market in the Mekong River but what we imagined was different
from the actual floating market they have there.

It was our third day
backpacking and this I swear is one of my most hassle days in 2018. I am not
exaggerating that. We had a very stressful problem with our Airbnb host and
Agoda booking. But first, let me start the post by narrating how we did border
crossing by land!
I am always a fan of
border crossing because living in the Philippines means we don't have a
neighboring country that we could travel to by land so it was really fun
crossing borders and observing how just by one single border changes how the
way people live. This is most evident when we crossed the Laos-Thailand
border. The way the drivers navigate is different from both countries. In Laos,
they follow right-hand drive while in Thailand, they follow left-hand drive. So
you could literally see differences by just how we changed lanes when we arrive
in the border of Thailand. Little things like that fascinate me.

Our last stop in Thailand before we went back to Bangkok is the Kingdom of Ayutthaya. Actually, I never heard of Ayutthaya before so I really don't know what to expect with this city. I don't know if it's like Bangkok or Chiang Mai, or is it a small rural area? Ayutthaya is 80 km above Bangkok and is only 3 train stations apart, if I remember it correctly.

Chiang Mai is one of the must visit place in Thailand aside from Bangkok and Phuket. I haven't been to Phuket but I think it's a great place to unwind too. After visiting Bangkok and Mae Sot during the first 3 days of my tour in Thailand, I can already say that it is centered in Buddhism. With all that temples and Buddha scattered around the place, it's not hard to define Thailand as something that has high regards and respect with Buddhism. After visiting the Grand Palace in Bangkok, I was also able to have a glimpse of Thailand's history pertaining to its kings and relationship with Burma.

Finally!! I can now tick off Thailand from my bucket list. But I am looking forward to go back whenever I can as I believe there's still so much to see. I am also very proud to say that this is my first backpacking experience. Uhuh! It was awesome but kinda hard. I was travelling with my father and I am lucky enough because he's quite familiar with the places in Thailand as he used to be a volunteer in Mae Sot. That's the time I was living alone for almost a year. And I'm happy I get to see the place where lived and volunteered. But that's for another post. We're able to go to 4 different places in Thailand: Bangkok, Mae Sot, Chiang Mai, and Ayutthaya. For this blog post, I'll be focusing on Bangkok first.
