Bangkok Sightseeing

With daytime temperatures in the painful range, it’s worth it to get up early and do the outdoorsy stuff before it gets too hot. Couchsurfer Czharina joined me here in Bangkok and yesterday morning we went to do some templing. The central pier is just a short BTS ride from the hostel and taking a […]
