4 DAYS ITINERARY BANGKOK AND CHA AM 2018
Dear my reader(s),
Its been quite a while, I havent posted any single post in my blog *sweeping the floor*. I dont know I have been always wanting to write here writing about my experience or just sharing my thoughts. But it always seems hard to find time. Because now I have the reasons to write, lets share something valuable here.
Going to Bangkok was always my wish after I already had fulfilled my bucketlist to go to Malaysia and Singapore (well I havent written those two trips in this blog, later if I find time, I will). I went to Spore on 2016 and Malaysia on 2017. So I planned in 2018 I need to go to another country, and the nearest after MY and Spore is Thailand. I already had looked for ticket since April, but I found the cheap ticket on May, so I asked around to look for companion, because I need to book fast otherwise, that cheap ticket will be gone, so once I found the companion, although only 1 person, that would do. So thank God, one of my bestie was willing to be my companion to go to Thailand, she also agreed that only she and I that will be going in this trip. So we bought that return ticket (pulang-pergi) for 1.1 million Rupiahs. It is super super cheap, considering the normal price will be starting from 1.7 million rupiah. And talking about the flight date, I asked the ticket seller (I bought from a private account selling cheap AirAsia ticket), if is there any available date, and finally we decided that we will choose December 2nd, 2018 as our departure flight, and Dec 5th as our return flight.
My bestfriend and I didnt talk about the trip after we bought the ticket because it was still far from the departure date. Towards to December, around early November, I asked her if she had time to plan the trip with me, I mean for making itinerary. So we met and decided on some places. Actually lucky me, my coworker just came from Bangkok in few days before the trip planning day. So I asked her if I could have her itinerary, and she sent me the link. My bestfriend and I checked the itinerary and we agreed to have some similar destinations but we also gave it a bit change because we wanted to go to different destination. Apart from plnning the itin, we also booked hostels and bought simcard, transportation card, and attraction ticket we will use there from Klook. The total days of our trip would be 4 days and 3 nights. The complete schedule along with the photos I will explain below:
DAY 1 - Dec, 2nd 2018
This day was our departure date. It was sunday, so I told my best friend to stay over the day before so she wont miss the flight, because her home is quite far from the airport. The flight was on 7 am, so my friend and I went to the airport at 5 am. My dad and my mom took us the airport. We arrived at 5.30 am, yeah it is pretty near. So we were waiting for the flight.
The flight took in Terminal 3 in Soekarno-Hatta International Airport. And the gate is quite far, I understood why its far because our airlines is AirAsia lol. The flight was nice and so so, and we also met 3 Jakartan girls who would gonna have 4 days trip in Bangkok, they sit next to me lol. And there was funnier moment but I'll tell later because we are still on Day 1. We touched down Don Mueang Airport at 10.30 am if im not mistaken. And we immediately took care the immigration thingy. And it took quite a while, so we only can get out of the airport at 12 pm. We also redeem our voucher from Klook to get our simcard in the airport.
So the schedule on the Day 1 is listed below:
- Check-in hostel
- Shopping in Chatuchak Market
- Redeem voucher to get transportation card in Siam Center
Going to our hostel meant that we have to get to Bangkok from the airport. So we took a bus from the airport. We took A2 Bus that is going to Mo Chit Terminal. Getting off from the bus, we looked for the Mo Chit BTS Station. Taking stairs by bringing our luggage was quite hard lol but we had to do it. Because we didnt have the transportation card yet or its called Rabbit Card, we had to buy the one time ticket. We bought the ticket with destination to Ratchacewi Station, because it is the nearest station to our hostel. If you guys are confused how do we know the map or route of the BTS, you can search NaviTime in play store or app store because I use that app. The BTS fee from Mo Chit to Ratchacewi is quite pricey, around 42 Baht or 21.000 rupiahs. Arriving in Ratchacewi station was another struggle for us, because it was scorching hot and we need to find the way to our hostel, we already use the google maps, but we stuck and turned out we were getting further from our end point. But after quite a while, finally we made it and we arrived at our hostel.
I'll continue the post later. But for now I'll post the draft anyway~ lol
