Krabi Island Trip - Explore south of Thailand
1 Day in Bangkok
Arriving in Bangkok in the morning, I took a taxi to my hotel, where I stayed for one night before heading to Krabi. Since it was around Christmas time, I wanted to make the most of my short stay and explore a few places in the city.
First, I discovered a fantastic Thai restaurant serving delicious, authentic Thai food at very reasonable prices. The flavors were incredible, and it was a great introduction to the city's vibrant food scene.
For dinner, I had planned to visit GEN, a popular Japanese restaurant. Unfortunately, it was fully booked, so I'll definitely make sure to return another time.
Later, I headed to Brown Sugar, a cozy jazz bar known for its live music and great atmosphere. The jazz performances were a treat, and the food there was surprisingly good, making for a relaxing and enjoyable evening.
It was a delightful evening in Bangkok, even though I didn't get to check off everything on my list—I'll be sure to return!
