Landed safely at Bangkok airport yesterday morning at 10 am. Walking towards the exit of the airport, the familiar colours and especially the smells (good smells in this case 🙂 undefinable but good) welcome me to my Asian adventure.

It is funny to be back in this city which I have visited twice before. Not much has changed and still there is so much to discover. The hotel we are staying is situated close to the well-known backpackers street Khao San Road.

A little sleepy from the overnight flight, it feels good to change into a dress and flip flops and walk around the city. On our way to the Grand Palace we cross a festival with loads of food, music and cheerful people, organised in honour of the Kings birthday next week.

Having visited the Grand Palace twice before, it still impresses me and all wrapped up in a borrowed skirt, we wander around and pay a visit to the Emerald Buddha before we head back to the hotel.

So far for the first day, the rest of the evening we spent at the rooftop pool. With the buzz of the Thai life passing by, I enjoy the first Thai curry for dinner and slowly start to land in Asia.
