Nah, at first i thought i can't do it alone but I did it. OMG, i travelled alone, AWESOME!!!! XD. After i finished my training in Kasetsart university I decided to stay longer in Thailand and go for BACKPACKING!!! Yo, Backpacker!! A lot of responses i received when i told people that i'm going for backpacking alone,
"Are sure you'll be ok??"
"Seriously, alone???"
"Be extra careful, sumore you're a girl."
"Nah, i don't believe in you. Sure your friend will come right."
Hahahaha, i'm on this trip alone.. Everything will be just fine and pray for my safety throughout the trip. ^_*
Day 1 (1/2 day/): Traveled through Choa Phraya river using by boat. The places was very nice, just that a bit hot. I don't have problem with communication as I din talk to people. People tend to speak Thai to me, which 101% of the time i cant understand what were they trying to say, so i just keep quiet. Nothing much on the first day coz i arrived in Bangkok about half past 2.
Day 2: Ayutthaya, here i arrived. I woke up as early as 6 o'clock coz wanted to catch the earliest train to Ayutthaya. Because i heard from my new Thai friend, Thai's train is SUPER SLOW. I managed to get the earliest train which was at 7.00am. From my reading, i should be arrived in 2hours time, and who knows i only arrived at 10.30 in Ayutthaya. Then only i understood how SLOW is Thai's train. But the most important thing was that i made the trip safely, nothing more important than that. I rent a Tuk Tuk with a CHELSEA's sticker on it.. Gosh, m a Man utd fan, hahaha, Well, Man utd dun ride Tuk Tuk, they only take high class mode of transports.. XD. There my journey in Ayutthaya begun. Owh GOD, Ayutthaya is SUPER DUPER NICE. The city is very beautiful with all the historical Wats. I watched a movie on Ayutthaya before, and from there I already fall in love with the place and i can see the historical city of Ayutthaya was just right in front of me. Reminds me of KING NARESUAN, famous King of Ayutthaya. I visited few numbers of wats and the palace as well. I took me nearly 5hours to travel around Ayutthaya. Then I went to nearby city called BangPa-In. In BangPa In, i just went to one Palace, Summer Palace which took me about 2hours to round the palace, WALKING. Finished with Bang Pa In, i headed back to Ayutthaya and took a train to Bangkok.Owh forgot to mentioned, the train only cost me 2obaht/trip which in RM, about RM2. By the time i reached in Bangkok, I was super tired and running out of energy. But i used all the remaining energy to go to the Pat Pong Night Market. I bought nothing because I knw i definitely come back to the night market again the next days. zzzzzzzzz.......
Day 3: Because of tiredness from Ayutthaya trip i decided to just travel around Bangkok on my 3rd day. Day for animal visits. Supposedly, 3 new friends from Indonesia (who did their practical also in KU) join me for the trip but they cancelled in last minute because they got somethings on, so again i'm on the trip alone. But i don't care cause from the very beginning i was on the trip alone. LONE RANGER!!! I went to Dusit Zoo or the local called it "KHAO DIN", so please next time use "Khao Din" because the cab driver don't know what is Dusit Zoo, Luckily i picked up some local words from friends in the university. Nothing really impressed me in the Zoo except the fact that they had White Tiger and Seal Show, other than that, nothing more than Malaysia's Zoo. Even then, i spent almost 6hours in the zoo.. hahahhahaha... Well, i love animals, even the place doesn't impressed me at all , I still cant take your eyes easily off animal. They are just amazing, aren't they? That's how amazing an animal can be.
After Khao Din I went to Siam Ocean World, something like our KLCC Aquaria, but this one was bigger and the entrance fee is more expensive also. 1000THB, can u imagine. The RM22 Aquaria i also think twice whether want to enter or not. Haha, I went in, since i was there already. Pretty nice, coz the 1000THB included back house tour, Glass bottom-Boat Tour, Happy feet (foot massage). 4D movie and a cup of Pepsi + Popcorn. The collection was pretty nice and may i can say worth the money i paid for and i spent about 3 hours there. What a day, and again before i heading back to the backpacker's hostel i dropped by at Pat Pong Night Market...Enjoying the night life of Thais. And again, left with empty hand.
Day 4: Khao Kheow or Kanchanaburi? Khao Kheow or Kanchanaburi? Kanchanaburi or Khao Kheow... Damn, i cant make a decision coz I'm not a decision maker. I draw lots, and Kanchanaburi i go. Just like what i did in Ayutthaya, i spent the whole day exploring Kanchanaburi. I went to few temples and then followed by visiting 'remnant's of WWII. Visited the War Museums (two of them), the Memorial Park and also the River Kwaii Bridge. Planned to overnight in Kanchanaburi but i have to re-plan because i have to go to KU the next morning. So, took evening bus to Bangkok and again dropped by at Pat Pong Night Market. My favourite place in Bangkok and this time i came back with full hands. It was my last night in Thailand anyway. Khao Kheow, i will definitely come for YOU in the future.
Day 5: My last day, i was invited by the international officer of KU to come over to the main campus of KU in Bangkok. Took sky train to Mo Chit Station and grabbed a cab to KU. This was rather funny, i told the driver to send me to Kasetsart University and he looked at me with weird face. Then repeated for a few times still he can't get me. Until finally i said university in Bangkhen, then only he responded, " Owh, KASET!" What... Then we arrived at the main gate of KU, and once again he cant understand me..
"Uncle, go to Animal Hospital"
No response, i guess he don't know what hospital is.
"Uncle, go to MEOW MEOW Hospital" i really meow... again he put his weird face., Nah, how am i supposed to tell the driver that i want to go to Vet hospital. An idea striked, i took out pen from my pocket and i drew a cat with a cross sign next to it and the uncle responded,
"OOOWH........." at last, he dropped me in front of Vet Teaching Hospital, KU.
Before the meeting i had breakfast with the Indonesian student, a new friend of mine. Finished the meeting i gt back to central of Bangkok and went for Window Shopping. After few hours i went back to my hostel to check out and left to airport ant 2.30pm. Bye2 Thailand and i will definitely come back one day.
What a trip!!!!
