  1. Thats a lot of things to do and I myself have not yet done all of them. I have put some on my bucket list. In return I would highly recommend doing a bicycle tour in Bangkok. Some of those places you mentioned are included and while cycling with a guide you get to different places much faster.

  2. That’s a lot of things to ad on my travel program! Ahah! I am so looking forward to my trip in Bangkok… Thank you for sharing yr ideas! xxx
