Bangkok Safari World

DAY 2

We visited the Bangkok Safari World, the biggest open zoo in Thailand, where so many different kinds of animals can be seen. It features hundreds of animals from all over the world... The best part of visiting this place is driving through the scenic Safari Park where you can experience a unique opportunity for the closest encounter possible with rare and endangered species of the animal kingdom.

Take a look and witness the breathtaking tour inside the Safari world. Animal lovers will surely love this place...

Ayutthaya, Thailand 2012

Hello Friends!

It's been a while since I last updated my online journal and this is because of my hectic schedule (work-school-biz-errands). Yes, my life is a bit crazier than usual since I started my mini business called "LaiCa Collection". And before 2013 comes, I like to share with everyone the highlights of my (4Q) 2012...

Last November, I visited Thailand together with my former manager slash travel Buddy, Fhatty. And we are very amazed with the different structure all over the city of Bangkok and in the old city of Ayutthaya. Come and take a look in our newest journey around Thailand.

 Note: When taking pictures of you and the Buddha head, make sure you sit on your knees to show respect, as it is considered holy by Thais.

How to get there:

There are 3 options to reach Ayutthaya; one is the Train at Hua Lamphong station, or you can take the Bus at Northern Terminal or the Minivan at Victory Monument Station.

Arriving Ayutthaya, there is already a TukTuk waiting just beside of the minivan loading station, we then asked how much is the Ayutthaya tour. We immediately agreed to a 4 hours Ayutthaya tour for 8 Temples for a price of 1000 Baht (3pax).

ITINERARY FROM PEX:

1.  Take BTS Skytrain to the Victory Monument station, and go right on the elevated walkway - keep on it until you cross a large road, then descend - the buses are parked at the side of the main traffic circle).

We chose to take the Minivan, it cost 60 Baht and only 1 hour ride from Victory Monument to Ayutthaya, this is the last stop so you don't have to worry. I guess this is also the easiest way to reach Ayutthaya.

2. Arriving Ayutthaya, there is already a TukTuk waiting just beside  the minivan loading station, we then asked how much is the Ayutthaya tour.

It's already past 12noon when we finished the Ayutthaya Tour.

Ayutthaya is one of the best historical places I've ever been. From its rich history to amazing structures, visiting this place is definitely worth it.
