Bangkok Day 1 - Drupal Tour 2016

By Eduardo García ● CTO | April 21st, 2016

For about two months the temperature of place I have been visiting fluctuate between 1 Celsius degree to 21 Celsius degrees; Yesterday I arrive in Bangkok, Thailand, and the weather punch me so hard, having 32 Celsius degrees is easy to avoid walk and use more taxi in this part of my trip.

For my sightseeing, I follow a guide prepared by Michael Ledu, a friend from NYC and married with a Thailand girl.

So, following his advice, I went out first into Jim Thompson House, which is an excellent tour of a somewhat traditional Thai house that is rare in Bangkok.

After that visit, I tried to walk, but as I said before the heat was overwhelming, so I took a taxi to the Rattanakosin Exhibition Hall. This museum is well organised, and they have three guided tours, but it’s literally a guided tour, room after room they have a person that explain to you what is the exhibition about, and they have devices to listed audios in English for the videos the present.

The list of tours are:

  • Grandeur Rattanakosin
  • The colourful Thai of living
  • The heart and soul of the nation

Indeed was a great introduction to Thai culture and their history.

Walking around, I found The Golden Mount, which is a is a Buddhist temple in a mountain, that place provides a beautiful view of the city, and I like the option of playing giant gongs.
