THAI ITINERARY (LOST IN BANGKOK)

Experience 12:48 AM

Im so sorry to write this post now, it should be the best time to post it 2 month ago when it was still fresh. Hahahahaha I am so busy, even I didn’t know what am I doing. But all I know there is 3 things that filled up my day this past 2 month. It is Chasse In The Trap, Internship, and Creative seminar. And all of them takes my time and my mind these 2 month.

By the way, I am so happy to share my Thailand’s Itinerary to you! I hope this can help you and you can learn from my bad things

Hahahha since me and my sister used to be a solo trip, so we prepare all the things by our own. Hotel, destination, transportation, including money lol. It was not easy but it was super fun yet. Before we went to Thai, my sister kinda busy about her job. So I find the hotel, destination and transportation all by my self. Alone. The most part I’d liked was the destination, bcs I’ve find it since 6 month before we go hahahhaa. I started to find the hotel a month before we go, and I stared to find the transport when we arrived in Thailand. Hahahhaha this is serious. We even didn’t know what kind of transportation, what number, and where we can found it in the airport when we still plane. That how we doing=))

But Thailand is not that hard, even they don’t really speak English, but they helpful and fun! By the way you can read about how I found the transportation after we arrived in Bahasa (HERE)

Well, honestly my itinerary didn’t goes really well. Why? Because I have not yet find about the transportation yet. I only set it up by the distance from the map. So the first thing you can learn from me is: DON’T BE LAZY to find the transportation and estimation from 1 place to the next place in you itinerary. Hahahhaha but seriously before I went to Thai I was so lazy to find about it=))

And yes it didn’t goes really well hahhaha we change it by the time we will go there . Oh if you curious how we find the transportation in Thai, we bought 1 sim card (we can use it for 2 by using personal hotspot and search the bus number or sky train with google map and choose with local transportation. They will tell you kind of transport you can use, the estimation and the cost is really possible.

Don Muang International Airport – Victory monument – Hua Hin

So we decide to explore the left side of out itinerary map first, it was Phetchaburi and Huahin. We go to Victory Monument (Vicmon) with bus (15 bath) and sky train and it takes about 1 hour (including confusing, getting lost, buying snack, etc) and after that we takes a mini fan (180 bath) to Phetchaburi for 3 hour! Whoops my ass totally crack while sitting in the car. Our last stopped is in a BIG C supermarket, and we try to see what was inside. We tried KFC, go to the super market and bought a sim card there. After that we asked to the sim card seller how to go to our guest house and kindly she help us to talk to the local motorcycle driver. It about 40 bath per motorcycle, and noted it we still bring our luggage hahaa. so we got our own local motorcycle to the guest house. And they leave us in the crossroal……. Luckily my sis saw the map already so we walk a bit more to the guest house.

We have a high expectation for the guest house, or literally I ha ve big expectation because I have already found so many good review about it. And yes White Monkey Guest House was totally super AWESOME! So we deciding to take some hour to rest after our long journey. Since we only sleep about 3 hour and got to the Airport at 5am and arrived at the guest house at 5pm. We have seen some restaurant close to the guest house and decided to take a night walking. But when we past the mini lobby we ask is there any place we can go to? And surprisingly they said there is a night market close from there. Wohooo I am totally blessed! Isn it? Mhh yes im hahhahha it didn’t finish yet, we saw some bicycle in front of the guest house and though that it was for rent, but it was guest house’s facilities. We can use it for 2 hour for free yipiii (don’t worry you still can use it for more than 2 hour I think coz we use it for 2,5 hour=)))

And its not night market I think, it is the heaven of the foodies! Heaven totally heaven! It is a semi indoor market and all the people selling food, snack, beverage and also fruits. We decided to try all the things. It was crazy! And I consider that the food in HuaHin was more cheaper than Bangkok. One portion of noodle or rice with so many vege/meat only cost 30-40 bath which is in Bangkok it’s about 50-100 bath. So I thing this place is a ‘MUST COME’ place for you!

The Itinerary:
Day1: Don Muang-Phetchaburi
Day2: Khao Luang Cave-Camel Republic-Swiss Sheep-Santorini-Bangkok
Day3: Bangkok Art and Culture Centre-Siam Centre-Chatucak-Asiatique-Pratunam Night Market
Day4: Palio Khao Yai
Day5: Siam Paragon-Choco Ville-Pratunam Night Market
Day6: Wat Phra Kao Yai-Nong Nooch Tropical Garden-Silver Lake
Day7: Grand Pallace-Wat Pho-Ananta Samakhom-Victory Monument Night Market

White Monkey Guest House | Phetchaburi Thailand

Review 2:35 AM

Jadi itinerary gue emang dibuat untuk pergi ke daerah Cha-Am dulu, yaitu bagian yang jauh dari kota. Bisa dibilang cukup jauh sekitar 3 jam dari Bangkok. Untuk penginapan disana gue udah coba cari beberapa tempat yang murah dan bagus, dan viola ketemulah sama guest house ini. Sebenernya letak White Monkey Guest House ini ada di Phetchaburi yang gak jauh dari Hua Hin tujuannya karna gue juga mau ke Wat Phra Kaew Yai di deket sana.

Guest House di pikiran beberapa temen gue adalah rumah orang lokal yang kita sewa rumah/kamarnya dan tinggal sama dia di rumah itu. But no… at all. Jauh dari itu, terutama guest house ini, bener-bener professional layaknya hotel-hotel tapi versi simple dan sederhana. Pemiliknyapun gue rasa ga tinggal disana soalnya pas pagi-pagi gue liat dia baru dating lengkap bawa tas kaya mau pergi kerja. Tapi mungkin sodaranya atau adeknya yang tinggal disana, and all of the was super huble and good. Di teras depan ada tangga buat ke teras atas buat guest duduk-duduk, trs pas masuk langsung ke mini-lobby yang di-design dengan minimalist yet cute. Banyak ada boneka monyet juga tapi lucu bentuknya. Design : YES!

Pas pertama kali liat ini di Agoda, gue udah naksir dan coba cari testi-testi di beberapa web dan testi jeleknya sedikit (fyi semua hotel itu pasti keliatan bagus, makanya testi yang jelek-jelek atau testi bintang 1 yang paling jujur). Ekspetasi gue pun cukup tinggi buat guest house ini.

Sayangnya dia belum punya web sendiri. Sebagai traveler yang ga punya kartu kredit, booking online adalah hal yang paling menyusahkan. Karna beberapa tempat ada yang suruh bawa kartu kreditnyalah, copy kartu + copy passport pemilik kartu lah, sampe nama yang booking harus nama pemilik kartu. Gue udah keburu males liat T&C nya. Akhirnya gue coba cara lain, mungkin kalo ditanya2 lewat email gue bisa kali ya dapet pencerahan. Emailnya ga dapet tapi gue dapet facebooknya. Dimana sekarang gue baru tau facebook punya massager yang super keren. Jadi aplikasinya beda sama facebook tapi tetep terhubung. Dan hotel/guest house di Bangkok banyak yang aktif menggunakan massager itu. Super!

So gue coba chat dan dengan cepat direspon deh. Awalnya gue masih berpikir pinjem cc temen, jadi gue cuma tanya mulai dari kalo bayar pake cc harus bawa apa aja, bisa titip koper gak, transport termudah buat ke sana, sampe key depositnya berapa, semua dijawab dengan baik dan cepat. So fast respon: YES!

Terus karna udah cukup hopeless dengan cc (credit card) jadi gue iseng-iseng tanya bisa gak kalo gue booking dulu dan bayar pas udah sampe? Dan ternyata bisa:’) luar biasa praise the Lord! Semuanya dimudahkan hahahahha. Dan gue pas tanya berapa harga delucxe room with AC yang sharing bath room? Dia bilang 800TBH/night padahal gue liat di Agoda lebih murah dari itu lalu gue coba tanya dan ternyata yang di agoda belum termasuk ppn kalo udah termasuk ppn harganya akan jadi sama aja. Btw gue nginep di guest house ini cuma satu malam, karna cuman sehari buat puterin Hau Hin. easy payment: YES!

Btw, mengenai key deposit. Jadi ada beberapa hotel di Bangkok yang key depositnya dihitung perhari. Kaya misalnya ada salah satu hotel di Pratunam yang harganya mirip2 sama hotel gue dia hargain key deposit 1.300 TBH/NIGHT! Gila ga itu sekitar Rp. 520.000 permalamnya, kalo gue nginep 6 malem berarti gue harus depositin Rp. 3.100.000 brekele bgt masa duit jajan gue gue depositin semua-_-. Jadi misi gue harus cari hotel yang bagus, murah, dan key depositnya normal. Untungnta White Monkey Guesthose yang super cute ini ga ngenain key deposit sama sekali wohooo. Key deposit: NO at all!

deluxe room with AC - sharing bathroom

Overall guest house ini bener-bener recommended. besih, nyaman, affordable, dan stuffnya baik juga helpfull. I really recomended this guest house for you:D

LEMBONGAN TRIP

Bali 4:23 AM

‘everyday is a holiday in Bali’ that quote was written in others people mind when they heard ’Bali’. But when you live here, its different. I’ve living in Bali for more than a year but I only do that ‘holiday’ rarely maybe in a month I only do it once or maybe no at all.

So this times I got a change to do the precious ‘holiday’ thing, even this still correlated with my collage’s subject. But perks is gonna be perks, whenever I want to see a beach I just need to raid a motorcycle and in a minutes I can see it.

2 years ago i have been come to Lembongan, but I used a Bali Hai Cruise. So everything was packed in one package like snorkeling, lunch, or bananaboat. And I paid for IDR 700k. You got welcome drink, buffet lunch and good facilities. That one was such an elite time. This one I do a low budget one. And omg it was only cost 500k for all, including the hotel and boat and transport and absolutely food for 2 days.

Well yes! I went to Lembongan Island plus Nusa Ceningan. OMG! So so fantastic. Everything is so cool. So let me tell you my story bout’ this trip, hope u enjoy

28.08.15

BOATing at 08.30am

I using a boat to crossing the island for only 50k but one of my friend was already know the boat’s stuff and we got a disc! So lucky isn’t? we only pay 35K , the Lembongan Island is a small island below Bali island so we go there through Sanur Beach. And to go to Ceningan Island we just need to cross a bridge it was so closed. But for go to Nusa Penida we need a boat.

9.23am

We arrived! Accidently we did a miss communication with the motorcycle rent. So we need to find a rent at that time. Luckily we found the cheapest one it cost 50k for a day for 2 person absolutely.

Lembongan or cenigan was only a small island with so many tourist, so there is so many rent motorcycle everywhere. But the funny things is, there is no police so we don’t need a license plate and there is no gas station, we ig we want to buy a fuel they sell it on a bottle. Everything look so traditionally awesome.

Than we go to the home stay and got some lunch.

1:00pm
We start our trip. I go to lembongan island with 12 peeps and than the boys didn’t stay for a night they back to Bali in the evening.

First place is The Cliff Café, this place was truly awesome-some-some. It was a restaurant with a huge view. It was located in Nusa Ceningan, but you can see whole of Nusa Penida Island by sitting in your seat only. Superp.

And I only bough a Banana Split (25K) hahaha

2:00 pm

We going to my Blue Langgon, it was my request and yup it was so cool, it was like a cliff but also looks like a huge coral and super windy. After that we need to come back to take my boys’ friends got to the harbor to back to Bali.

06:00

Me and my friend probably want looking for the sunsets but poorly the sun is hiding,

DAY 2

10:00 am

We going to The Devil’s Tear, hmm such a heavy name isn’t it? But still sound really cool.

And yes it totally awesome! If you know Water Blow in Nusa Dua Bali, this one the mother of water blow. I mean yes, it was superb. It seems like a huge coral with a little hole below. And when the wave come and it will hit the rock and get into that hole and than the water will spurting up. Its look like a miracle. hmmm

We really need to be careful when take a pic, cos the rock is so slippery and dangerous. But still best photo need more scarification;)

11:30 am

Next is ‘Goa Gala-Gala’ this one was a development place, so we need to pay the entrance ticket. It cost IDR 10k per person. My expectation was really different with the reality. But why not?

So we entering the cave, its dark and creepy. Probably it looks like a maze cave. Maybe you can read the story by ur self hahaaa im too lazy to write it down sorry;) also we need to pay the entrance ticket 10K.

13:00 pm

And the last but not least, it was Mangrove Tour!

Yippy! This one is really in nowadays. I mean everyone post their photo in the boat with mangrove view. So we probably do the same thing ahahaaha YOLO enough right?

17:00 pm

Back to bali, our boat was on 17:00 pm so we need to leave this little heaven. But I will back to visit Nusa Penida one day though!;)

overall i really enjoying my small holiday, umm i wish i could traveling around Lombok and NTT too! by the way i have a video about this trip hope you watch it!:D
ps: turn it into high resolution pls=))
