Thailand - First Trip to Bangkok

My First trip to Thailand was with Michele, Mary, Bings, Jessica, Khid and Huiling. Well I think it was quite a unprepared trip because it was our first trip to Thailand and we didn't know what to expect. Well to begin with Bangkok is a damm packed city. There are millions of people moving around, roads that are jammed with cars for hours and the policing system within the city needs to be improved.

The trip was a 5 day 4 night experience/shopping trip to Bangkok. As it was the first trip to a foreign place with a group of friends, it was easy to accommodate to everybody's needs. We had a lot of problems negotiating with the locals, especially transportation with the '(in)flexible' transportation system of Bangkok.

However the most important lesson is that despite its beauty, Bangkok happens to be a place for the unexpected tourist... that would be us.
