First Trip in Bangkok

I got a free day for today since in Thailand, students just going to school from Monday to Friday (In Indonesia we go to school from Monday to Saturday). From schedule that our supervisor gave, today we should went to Bangsen Beach but it’s postpone. So sad to hear that. But, our friend who teaching practice in Bodindecha (Sing Singhaseni) 2 School offer theirselves to call Name (our buddy from PNRU). So we decided to made an appointment to went to Chatuchak Market at 10.00 a.m.

Name took us to went around Bangkok from Chao Phraya river route by boat. So after we met in front of 7/11 we went to Chao Phraya express boat by bus. Because of there were reconstruction work, the road is stuck, and it’s tiring. I try to sleep but it’s kinda hard because of the bus kept brake, so I’m bump to the front. We buy ticket and it took 15 baht.

It took about 1 hour to reach BTS station. After the boat hanging around the dock, we go to the BTS ticketing right away. We feel very hungry back then, but we decided to bought food later. After arrived at Chatuchak Market, we walked in to see some things that we may could bought as a souvenir when we got back to Indonesia later. I got many interesting in soaps, bags, key chains, and many more. I thought to save much money back then so I can bought a lot of things in the end of my trip in Bangkok.
