Bangkok days:Thailand Grand Palace

1/28/2015 | Labels: Bangkok, birthday, budget, budget travel, december, grandpalace, jcassielf, joanne cassielf, summer, Thailand, travel, vacation, wanderlust

One of the tourists spot in Thailand that you shouldn't miss is the Grand Palace.

Its my 2nd time here and i still find it fascinating. The designs are awesome, the history and once you're inside~ the royal and majestic feels is still there.

During this time we were lucky enough that there are buildings that were opened to the public.

Maybe because we went there during the King's birth month which is December, which is also mine too. In fact My birthday is December 4 while the King's birthday is on December 5.

My goal next time is to celebrate my birthday there and witness how Thailand celebrate the King's Birthday.

how to learn about the palace?

have a travel guide, or you could rent a listening travel device. you can find these at the entrance of the palace.

how to get there ?

just ride a metered taxi or tuktuk . Reminder: there are lots of taxi scams there, so it's better to ride a taxi that you're hotel provided for you or you could get there riding a tuk2.

dress code/food ?

please do observe the proper dress code but if u have missed it, in front of the palace there are lots of stores that sells or rental clothes so that you could get in. Basic : Wear pants and no sleeveless tops.

Keep in mind that you are visiting some religious spots so show some respect.

And since it's hot make sure to wear sunglasses and bring a hat if you could.

If you get hungry there are restaurants outside.

Travel Essentials: Pink Urban Luggage review

This is one of the best travel bag I ever used since I started traveling, the Urban luggage.
Inspired by Elle Fowler's travel bag, I've been searching for this for months
and finally found it in SM Davao Dept. store.
Though the brand from Elle's and mine is diffirent but the inside are almost.

This is my 4th or 5th travel bag, but this is the first time that I bought this type of bag.
Unlike my previous luggage, this isn't the cloth type nor it doesn't have any outside pockets.
And it is pink ~.~, I prefer red or light blue but they didn't have it.
