solo traveling: bangkok edition

Day 1: went to the airport 4 hours early and barely made it through. Got to bangkok by 6 pm. Checked in and started exploring right away. Made a couple friends and spent the night in khao san at a bar. Went to chinatown (such beautiful street lights) and back to khao son through a tuktuk where we blasted music and raced with our other friends. At khao son 3 friends and i surprised each other with explicit bracelets. Dranked and danced and talked till 3.

Day 2: woke up to go shopping with a girl from my hostel. Spent a couple hours doing that and then ate some food on the street. Went home real quick to relax and then go to a muay thai fight. Went to a rooftop bar. After that we went to elysium and danced (Drunk) but so much fun. One of the guy there was trying to hit on me ._. That was awk. But anyways tuktuk back.  Managed to fit 5 on us in one and made them all listen to grimes. We went home by 4:30 am.

Day 3: woke up bright and early at 8:30 am. Went to floating market but i was tired so i slept the whole entire boat ride… got some fresh coconut when we landed. Weekend market was next. I believe its known to be the largest flea market in thailand. Met up w 2 friends and suffered in the heat while we tried to shop. After that, we went to a temple to watch the sunset. It was nice and lovely. Ate dinner at a rooftop. I remembered my meal being really sour… there was 6 of us here. After dinner, came back home, got mango sticky rice. Down it in 5 minutes. Showered and get ready for night club: Tichuca. This was probably the highlight of my trip. Mind u this italian boy i met have also being dragging to every single bar for the past few nights and club so that was fun. Met up with a couple friends from the night before and some friends i made that day. Beautiful club. Incredible music. And such fun DJs since he kept feeding us liquor. Some other memorable thing from here was the DJs making the men strip too and that was hot. I also had a bit of a crush on this Scandinavian guy at the time since we were dancing together and having fun the whole night (HOWEVER JUMPSCARE IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS.) Danced till the club finishes and went to soi cowboy and found a bar. Sat w each other and talked also till the bar closes so we went to another “underground house” bar. This was 4 am. It was actually really nice. We also chilled by the “living room.” italian boy and i drew each other. He played guitar for us and then we got home by 5 am. Ps i vomited this night. Also i kept coincidentally bumping into the french boy 3 days in a row (next day also included so technically 4)

Day 4: i needed peace and quiet. Spent the morning shopping by myself. Got some flowers by a stranger. Explored wat arun with two friends. At night met up with everyone again and explore chinatown for some street snacks. We played never have i ever. This is was i found out the scandinavian boy who claimed he was straight got his peepee sucked by another male and pegged. Imo thats not straight so i was turned off…swear imnot homophobic though. Um drank and got home early like around 2. uh also cut contact w someone who wanted to be serious after 2 hangouts back home this day ._.

Day 5: woke up earlyat 6:30.had a walking tour around 3 temples and the city. It was beautiful. Finally my real first sight seeing. Ate crab curry and got 2 hours massage afterwards. And then met up at a sky bar with some friends where we get the view of the city. Ended early because iw as starting to feel sick.

Day 6 and final day: woke up around 8 and ran through the city onelast time. Explored song wat road and left to the airport by 3. however, really comteplated ditching my flight to go to chiang mai…after everyone’s convincing…

songs i want to remember during these moments:

Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom!! - Vengaboys: when we danced in the club with the beautiful scandi boy

Off the Wall - Michael Jackson: when we’re racing on tuktuk

Heart of Glass - Blondie: running around Bangkok in Song Wat Road one last time
