Bangkok 5-7 Jan 2017

Took a taxi to my hostel. all in including toll around 320-350baht
Once Again Time Hostel
500baht per night for female dorm (including breakfast)
Only milk and cereal for breakfast, I never touch any of it since Bangkok had plenty of nice food almost everywhere.
Note here to REMIND myself never book this hostel again.
Terrible maintenance and poor management.
Walked to the pier and explore inside the white walls.
Royal Pavilion Mahajetsadabadin
Saphan Phanfa Pier
8-9mins walk to the nearest pier
There are no MRT/ BTS in this area, flagging a taxi is also a problem in Old Bangkok as the traffic is terrible. the other next popular transporation is Scooter Taxi.
10baht to Pratunam Pier
Takes around 15mins
Someone need to hold on to the handle to avoid splashing of the river
Tried the HK wanton Mee in Soi 19 Phetchanburi
Pretty good HK noodle but will still prefer to have Thai style more when in BKK.
Some food truck in front of Novetel Hotel
