(Note: this entry contains 82 images and would cause a long loading time.) It’s my first time venturing out of Bangkok throughout the entire trip. Ayutthaya was the ancient capital of Thailand from the year 1350 to 1767. It’s a province outside Bangkok, about 76 kilometres up north. When it...
Thailand Travel Blog: Bangkok Solo Trip (Day 6) – Grand Palace, Reclining Buddha & Baiyoke Sky Hotel
The day started off with me ignoring the alarm clock and waking up late. Had planned to go to Ayutthaya for the day. But when I got to the Hua Lamphong train station, it was already after noon. And if I caught the two-hour train ride to Ayutthaya anyway, it...
Gosh, I can’t believe I have to leave Bangkok in two days’ time. I have already gotten so used to living in my serviced apartment, walking to the BTS station to take the skytrain, exploring the city by myself, taking pictures wherever I go, talking to random strangers, etc etc...
People always seem surprised when they find out my trip in Bangkok lasts seven days. They tend to think that seven days is too long. But right now, I suspect I may have to extend my trip because there is so much more to do and so little time left....
It was a very fun day for me yesterday. I set out to Lumpinee stadium to watch Muay Thai kickboxing. But before that, I had time to check out the supposedly best khao mun kai (chicken rice) in the city. The shop was called Kaiton and I had some trouble...

Hi people, it’s me blogging from Bangkok! My blog entries done here would be extra detailed because my mum would be reading these to keep track of me. I didn’t really get to do much today because it took quite a while to get settled down here, and by then...
Getting this new layout implemented took much longer than I thought. And it’s not even fully finished yet. There are some more changes I have to make. But for now, I shall present to you version 8 of Sparklette, titled “purple dreams“. Again, this is another personal layout. The background...
New layout. This would be version 7 of the site, titled “alone“. Colours are duller than usual to reflect my current mood. I’m quite sure the guys wouldn’t like this one, but well, it is my hard work. A more personal layout with a lot of hidden meaning. As always,...
Hello people, this is my new layout for Sparklette, titled “summer lovin’“. My aim was to create a more cheery and summery theme to brighten up your day! It’s the monsoon season after all. The pink logo at the top left corner is the roxy/quiksilver logo. Hopefully no one from...
