Thailand was our entry point when we went backpacking in four Southeast Asian countries, which covered Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia, for 10 days by land.
People would always mention that travelling is expensive. Yes, it could be expensive but with proper budgeting and planning, you could make your vacation or travel a worthy one without spending outside the budget. Thailand is one of the cheapest countries in the world and along with its rich culture, history and arts, it’s also one of the most visited countries. Our budget for 3 days in Thailand is only ₱3,000+ (US$60+) each.

Here’s our itinerary for three days and two nights in Bangkok, just before heading to Malaysia.
I found out I lost my GoPro when we were in the station on the way to Sutthisan. So I went back to Hua Lamphong to check if I left it somewhere there. I went through all the stops we had and found nothing. Luckily, it was just at the ticket counter and they gave it back to me! Apparently, I left it after inquiring about our possible tickets to Padang Besar for Malaysia. Thank goodness!

There are still many places to visit in Bangkok. I think we walked more than 10,000 steps on our first day and for me, it was a great way to start our Bangkok tour. We really didn’t have any idea where to go then. I just said that we go ahead and find out for ourselves. Google Maps was our best friend during that time. We walked with our bags strapped on so it was an extra challenge. We even went to unfamiliar places, like the smaller streets with residential houses, just to make a shortcut. It was crazy yet fun!
