#getgoing2025 Yaowarat Chinatown in Bangkok is a place where the streets come alive with colors, sounds, and smells. I spent an entire afternoon wandering through the vibrant markets, sampling street food at every turn. The dim sum, fresh seafood, and stir-fried noodles were beyond delicious, and I even tried some new dishes I’d never seen before. The energy here is contagious, and the rich Chinese heritage of the area is felt in every corner—from the red lanterns hanging above to the temples tucked away in side streets. Yaowarat isn’t just about food; it’s an immersion into a culture that has shaped Bangkok in profound ways. 📍Chinatown, Bangkok, Thailand #thailand #bangkok #chinatown #nightmarket #localfood

Wat Arun Ratchawararam Ratchawaramahawihan, commonly known as Wat Arun, is one of the most iconic and revered Buddhist temples in Bangkok, Thailand. Located on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River, the temple is famous for its impressive central spire (prang), which rises 70 meters (230 feet) and is beautifully decorated with intricate porcelain and seashell mosaics. The temple's name, "Wat Arun," translates to "Temple of Dawn," and it is especially stunning at sunrise when the light creates a glowing effect on the spire. It is also one of the best places to view the sunset over the river. The temple complex features several structures, including the main prang, smaller prangs, and various pavilions, each showcasing detailed craftsmanship and rich Buddhist symbolism. Wat Arun is not only a significant religious site but also a popular tourist attraction due to its historical importance and scenic beauty. The temple is dedicated to the Hindu god Aruna, who is associated with the dawn, reflecting the temple’s connection to the rising sun. Visitors can climb a steep staircase to get closer to the prang and enjoy panoramic views of the Chao Phraya River and surrounding cityscape. Wat Arun is often combined with a visit to the nearby Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew (Temple of the Emerald Buddha) as part of a cultural tour in Bangkok. The temple is easily accessible by boat from the Tha Tien Pier, making it a convenient stop for tourists exploring the riverside attractions.#buddhisttemple #bangkok

If you're visiting Bangkok, you must try staying in a high-floor hotel to experience the amazing views! This time, I chose the up-and-coming hipster area of Ari and stayed at The Quarter Ari by UHG. The front desk gave me a corner room on the 28th floor, featuring large floor-to-ceiling windows with unbeatable views! I booked a deluxe king room, which is about 33 square meters, very spacious, and even has a small kitchen for convenience. The best part is the view from the room, which is stunning both day and night. Even the bathroom has large floor-to-ceiling windows, though it lacks a bathtub. Since it was a New Year's stay, I booked three months in advance and got a great deal, with two nights costing just over 7,000 THB. Now, a single night costs over 10,000 THB, and rooms are fully booked! As for the public spaces, the hotel has dedicated the best views on the 33rd floor to the swimming pool, gym, and bar. It's truly the best experience, and you must go up to the sky bar for a drink.

Stayed for three nights at Josh Hotel, a boutique hotel in Bangkok's hipster district Ari. The four-story building is painted in peacock blue with white window shutters and balconies, giving it a distinct hipster vibe. The first floor serves as the reception lobby, restaurant, and pool area, all designed in a very British Instagrammable style. The open and lively atmosphere is perfect for young travelers, and the pool is a popular spot. I booked a 6-ping deluxe double room, which has a small balcony. The walls are painted in a deep emerald green, giving the room a calm and elegant feel. There's also a rocking chair. The hotel pays attention to small details, like providing two bottles of water in the fridge, knowing Bangkok's weather is hot. I stayed over a more expensive weekend, including Christmas, and the three-night stay with breakfast cost only NT$5052! Yes, it's that affordable. However, despite its beautiful design, the hotel has some drawbacks: no kettle in the room (it's in the common area), the bathroom isn't separated into wet and dry areas, and the electric water heater has unstable water pressure. Soundproofing is also an issue. Another awkward point is that there's a Live Bar on the second floor, which gets loud on weekend nights. My room was right above it, making it feel like a concert. I changed rooms the next day, only to find the bar was closed that night! Overall, the value for money is high. Breakfast isn't a basic buffet but a menu from the restaurant, with freshly made dishes like Eggs Benedict, sourdough bread, and tortillas, with a choice of fillings and drinks. It's both visually appealing and delicious. Highly recommended!

#2024mapped The Giant Swing in Bangkok stands tall and majestic, offering a fascinating glimpse into the city’s past. The structure, which was once used in an annual Brahmin ceremony, is an iconic symbol of the city. Standing beneath the swing, I couldn’t help but feel awe at its size and the stories it holds. The area around it is filled with historic temples and buildings, and it’s a peaceful spot to reflect on Bangkok’s deep cultural roots. The Giant Swing isn’t just a landmark; it’s a testament to the city’s rich religious history. 📍Giant Swing, Bangkok, Thailand #thailand #bangkok #monuments #landmark #travel #thingstodo #myitinerary #citydaytours #sunsetview
