Unique And Cheap Ideas That You Can't Miss In BangkokI’ll be honest, Bangkok isn’t a city I fell in love the first time around. I flew in to Suvarnabhumi Airport warming up to start my first solo backpacking journey, excited of all the possibilities and adventures that awaited ahead. I hopped into a taxi and headed straight to the backpacker hotspot of Khaosan Road to hook up with other like minded traveller souls. To my shock, I had my phone stolen by a sly pickpocket the moment I arrived. I ended up spending two days moping around my hostel over all the lost photos and memories the phone had carried. It’s a good reminder to backup your phone, important documents and photos while travelling.
