Thetraveljunkie.org – Here are some photos from our trip to Siam Niramit Bangkok with Thai Airways and Tourism Authority of Thailand. An extravagant show about the history of Thailand that involves stunning costumes, skillful dancers, entertaining music, state-of-the-art techniques and cutting-edge light and sound system; that what this 2,000-seat theatre has to offer.
Thetraveljunkie.org – Here are some photos from our trip to Thai Nakon Nielloware with Thai Airways and Tourism Authority of Thailand. Famous for its unique nielloware, Thai Nakon was established in 1926 as the first and oldest Nielloware maker in Bangkok. The ‘niello’ came from Thai word ‘niel’ for black, which is enriched on the smooth surface of stering silver after using acid reaction.

The temple was established in the early 1800s when Prince Mongkut, then a monk known as Phra Vajiranyano, became the abbot of Wat Mai, a smaller temple predating Wat Bovorn.
Thetraveljunkie.org – A great choice for lunch in Bangkok is Areesaa Lote Dee. Surprisingly, it’s a longstanding restaurant in Bangkok’s Bang lamphu neighbourhood, “Hollywood of the Past”. Tucked off the eastern end of Th Tani, Aisah Rotdee takes the form of a Thai-Muslim food court. We ordered the spectrum of classic Thai-Muslim dishes:

We were in charge of Thai music in Duriyapraneet House, where we danced and had a fab time!

Thetraveljunkie.org – One of the things that we love most about traveling is organising foodie routes in all the different cities that we go to. It’s the best way to get to know restaurants and cafés. We felt drawn towards the Blue Elephant Bangkok, a very cosy Thai restaurant. The restaurant is gorgeous and the food is to die for.
Thetraveljunkie.org – Bang Lamphu is one of our favourite areas in Bangkok. Its areas are the most photogenic and it’s best place to get lost in between the city’s tuktuk taxi and do some shopping. A short walk away, you will find Phra Sumen Fort, one of the two remaining forts in Bangkok. It was constructed during the reign of King Rama I in 1783 along with 14 other octagonal forts to protect the capital from invasions.
Thetraveljunkie.org – After a 2 hour flight with Thai Airways, we knew that our next destination would perfect for us to relax in. We arrived in Bangkok in the afternoon and after about a hour drive we arrived at our hotel: the Eastin Grand Hotel Sathorn Bangkok which will enable you to design your perfect holiday.

Thetraveljunkie.org – We woke up at 7am and we went to the airport. The Thai Airways was waiting for us to spend the rest of the day in the sky. We are off to Bangkok, Thailand. We booked our flights with Thai Airways and we are ready to continue dreaming. Hope you enjoy our pictures as much as we had fun taking them. The food, the staff, Thai hospitality… There is much more to come!
Thetraveljunkie.org – It is fantastic how We can be walking along a quiet path in a Manggarai forest… then suddenly I look over and there’s a beautiful Waerebo Waterfalls! And it’s, you know, doing it’s thing, as it has been for the last hundred years or so. There’s so much beauty everywhere.
Thetraveljunkie.org – A few posts ago we showed you some photos from the Waerebo. Here is another photo of the village. It’s super welcoming, has great architecture and more importantly, we truly recommend Waerebo coffee to anyone who visits the village.
