Bangkok is amazing! It was my very first time visiting Thailand, and I have to say, it created many wonderful memories. About three months prior, my wife and I had planned a honeymoon in Thailand, but unfortunately, she couldn’t join me at the last minute due to work commitments. As a dedicated nurse, her job kept her from traveling. Despite this, my first trip was a fantastic experience, and choosing Wayha Hostel through Traveloka was a great decision. The staff were incredibly friendly and helped us find nearby tourist attractions. The hostel was also very clean and well-maintained. On my first day, I explored temples and local markets in Bangkok. Although similar to Indonesia, the Buddhist architecture offered a unique contrast to what I’m used to seeing at home in Bali.

I saw an unique preferable offering in Thailand which is Red Fanta. I believe it has a strong background stories since I try to find out the answer on the internet and it says it related to spirits and tradition.

Spending only five days in Thailand was not enough, have not exploring any other cities yet, such as Phuket, Pattaya, and Chiang Mai. Definitely will come again soon. Very soon!
