799. Bangkok Part 5 | Exploring our Neighbourhood

We've been out of quarantine for a few days now and I finally have a bit of time to update! We've had quite an eventful few days (probably a combination of being stuck inside for so long plus there's sooo much to do and see in Bangkok) - we explored our neighbourhood a bit (Bang Rak), visited Iconsiam mall, visited Chatuchak market, visited Asiatique, visited Chinatown, and walked around a lot. We are loving the city so far and having an amazing time. The weather here is extremely hot but its bearable/I am slowly getting used to it. I really love the street food culture and the shopping! Everything is so cheap. The Thai people are also extremely friendly.

The photo above is the view from our place. I really love it. We are staying at State Tower which is the building where the movie Hangover was filmed. There is an amazing rooftop bar/restaurant which I'm excited to check out.

Quick photo of our place. I forgot to take more photos before it got all messy now so I'll take more after we have it cleaned.

Our first meal! There's street food stands literally everywhere here.

So many power cables everywhere

My first purchase - these Fila sneakers.
They were only $15 CAD!! (& they are real from an actual store - not fake ones I found on the street)

I think this is how the street food stalls wash the dishes and everything

Our view at night

First night's dinner

This congee place (Jok Prince) is really good! It's located right behind our building. We came a couple times for breakfast already. They have been in the Michelin guide for many years and is really inexpensive (like $2-3 a bowl)

Our building!

There's a lot of temples and shrines everywhere on the street

There were fireworks last night. Not sure what the occasion was..
