In Glourious Bangkok

After  a four months break in my parents house, in May it was time again to hit the road.

I first chose to go back to India, however turn out to be more complicated than I expected to get the Visa if you don't live in Milan or Rome, so I switched to a country where Visa was not required: Thailand.

Once in Bangkok, I met a  Turkish couchsurfer, Uygur. Even though I didn't know him, it was reassuring to be with someone in a city like Bangkok.

At first I was so confused, my head dizzy, overwhelmed by a flow of people, lights, loud music and vendors screaming at you trying to sell the most weird goods.

It was Kao San Road, one of the most peculiar street in Bangkok.

We decided to spend in Bangkok just few days.  We wandered around temples,  bargaining with people, sometimes also fighting with them when they tried to rip us off,  I was glad I was not the only temper person.

We visited temples, markets and many other exotic places in that beautiful polluted city…however my best memories are in the train market and the floating market.

The train market is something out of the ordinary. Just few seconds before the train pass by the vendors start to withdraw theirs goods and close the windows.

It is really exciting to see .

The floating market was lot of fun,  you are in a boat that brings you all around and vendors approach you in their boats or from the shore. I didn't buy anything as my trip just started and I had 4 months ahead of me, but my travel mate bought alsmost half market . He was like a kid in a candy shop.

Another interesting part of town is China Town, plenty of Chinese shops with the most scaring goods.

We spent 5 days in Bangkok and then our road split because Uygur wanted to attend the Full Moon Party and as we read in the online reviews, you are supposed to be there in advance and book at least for 5 days , otherwise everything gonna be fully booked.

I didn't want to waste 5 days just for a party in the beach, so I decided to visit  Erawan National Park.  I was alone not even for one hour, as when I arrived to the small train station, I met three Austrian guys that were heading there too.
