Bangkok and Ko Samui, Thailand
2024 Winter
I had the chance to visit Thailand recently through an invite to a destination wedding on the island of Ko Samui in Thailand. I travelled through Hong Kong before heading down to Thailand. It was about a 3 hour journey down to Bangkok from Hong Kong. We flew on a budget airline, Hong Kong Express to save some money. We spent 3 days in Bangkok taking in the sights.Even though it was January, it's still quite warm and short sleeve weather.
We took in these sights in our limited time in Bangkok:
- Wat Phra Chetuphon
- The Grand Palace
- Khaosan Road
- Terminal 21
We mostly relied on public transit such as the BTS Skytrain around the Thai capital.
It was a couple hours flight down to Ko Samui from Bangkok on an ATR turboprop plane. Ko Samui is a beautiful tropical island and it was bigger than I expected. I stayed 3 nights at the resort on the island. I did get a chance to head into the town and Fisherman's Village to check out the local restaurants.
