Looking at beautiful beach and sunset after that, we headed forward towards the Amsterdam Bar. Perfect place to chill and enjoy the vibe during sunset
We found a place to click some stunning sunset pictures on our way to Amsterdam Bar.
After we got attacked by some Thai Dogs, We had a tense situation and needed some peaceful place to stop and relax our minds.
We woke up at 10:00 A.M, had our breakfast and quickly got ready to explore the Island. We rented bikes near Thongsala Pier and moved ahead.
We went to Massage centre near the market called Pure Relax. I took the head, back and shoulder massage package for 60Minutes for 400Baht. They have an authentic Thai massage, that was very relaxing and peaceful. Post Dinner we had to attend our event Full Moon Party at Had Rinn…Read More
We had to struggle a bit to find this place at the beginning, but anyhow we managed to find the area within an hour. The stay was reasonable and just ok to sleep. They had a Restaurant at the ground level too which was good though. We booked it via…Read More
Just had my Bacon sandwich at a restaurant in front of the pier. Just before boarding our ferry to Koh Phangan
Leaving Koh Tao towards to our next destination Koh-phangan, there our main excitement is Full Moon Party. But to our surprise this island has alot to offer, not just the party scenes is what you have here.
Queen’s Cabaret, famous Ladyboys cabaret show in Koh Tao, dancing, singing and drinks. We had fun and a good time there with some good brews. MUST VISIT!
We had dinner at SU Chilli, Amazing Thai food. Tiger and Chang are local beers of Thailand, that you can find in every corner of Thailand
I had a fantastic experience of Scuba Diving first time in my life, and it was terrific, The Instructor from BBD Tom Schuessler was outstanding. He explained to us every point of Scuba Diving, from diving basics to the advance. He is a humble guy; he introduced his girlfriend to…Read More
The cab was waiting at the pier they took us to the Big Blue Diving School, they gave us the place to stay as well.
We had to board our ferry to Koh Tao. We checked in at Lomprayah office on Chumphon railway station, and we reached pier by Lomprayah Shuttle.
Chumphon train station in early wee hours, from here we are supposed to be transferred to Pier to catch our ferry for Koh Tao. We reached here after an overnight train from Bangkok to Chumphon. Next leg of the journey we have covered by Lomprayah ferry.
The train staff made our bed, which is something exceptional, the bedding was crystal clean and hygienic. The perfect way of setting benchmarks to visit Thailand again and again.
We had our booking in 2nd Class Air Conditioned coach. The seats were broad and comfortable. I had a good sleep and a pleasant journey.
Before boarding train, we got a chance to click pictures with my friend Yashu Mittal, excuse the weird pose. Picture credit- Mr Arjun Virmani
It was our train in Thailand to Lang Suan. I must say better service as compared to most of the national railways. The coaches were clean, platforms were clean and adequately maintained by the staff members. I had a comfortable journey experience with Thai Railways. The train left on time and…Read More
We were heading to Lang Suan Railway station to catch our train to Koh Tao. Main excitement towards Koh Tao is for Scuba diving with Big Blue Diving School. We shot this at Bangkok railway station just before boarding the train; the Thailand railway transportation is quite impressive.
Beautiful street view of Little India with a small river flowing through it. We took this shot from the restaurant only, where we were having lunch.
After some rest, we moved out to explore little more of Bangkok before catching our train. While we were heading towards an area in Bangkok called Little India, we came across a part of the city called China town. It has a variety of shops and food stalls, a good place to…Read More
I have heard that Bangkok is famous for various types of street food, but most of the times I saw such things which I have never seen in my life. In this picture, you can look at some crabs and god damn unknown animal meat showcased on the street. Just…Read More
Thailand is full of 7 Eleven stores. They were lifesavers for us, providing us with options to survive in every part of Thailand we went. We tried hell lot of things here. Some of them were good, some were very bad ( Food Spoiler credit- Mr Arjun Virmani).
Since this place is perfect on reviews and at walking distance from our location, near Bangkok Railway Station, so we decided to visit this cafe, and we ordered some pad thai noodles and local beer(Chang/Tiger). Graffiti on the wall is fantastic; you can see hand drawings of people from different countries.
These colourful tuk-tuk three-wheelers were all over the Bangkok city, in fact, most of Thailand. No doubt they are cheap and the best way to move around the city, BUT you have to bargain
One most beautiful thing I saw in Bangkok is cleanliness, the roads are pretty much clean and maintained. Traffic during the peak hour is quite painful but who cares, Bangkok is a beautiful city to enjoy, and that’s all that matters at the end of the day.
We have to change trains at an intersection in between, and while waiting for the next train, we took a selfie together. Because memories are what stays with us
After Reaching Bangkok, We headed towards our Hotel by Metro. Must say public conveyance is real smooth. People there were adorable and helpful. Its just a half day stay there in Bangkok, we departed for Koh Tao by train that very day.
Myself along with Arjun Virmani boarded our first flight from New Delhi to Bangkok (Thailand). One more friend Yashu Mittal also joined us from Bangalore; we met directly at Bangkok.
