Day 46 - Relax @ Bangkok

At about 1pm, I set off by public transport to the airport to meet my parents who are coming to Bangkok to meet me. Their flight is due to land at about 3pm.

Firstly to 'Petchaburi station/MRT' Cost: 29B. Next I had to walk over to the 'Makkasan station/airport rail link' to take the train to the airport. Cost: 35B. This is the cheapest and most efficient way to get to the airport. Taking a taxi there will cost me 400B to 500B at least and there's likely to be a jam in the city anyways.

Once at the airport, it really made me feel like just taking a flight home. I'm still about 30 minutes early so I went to have my lunch first. Food is seriously not cheap at the airport and. The duck rice set that I had for lunch cost me 187B!

At about 3.30pm, I finally saw my parents. So happy. We took a taxi to my hotel got them another room there.

Next, we went to the Yaowarrat area for a 'long walk' amongst the streets and alleys where there are countless small stores selling all sorts of stuff imaginable. Late night, we went to the Silom area and to Patpong night market.

Expenses:

Hotel - 750B
F&B - 400B
Public transport - 64B
