Here's a checklist for the trip:
Accomodations - Our hotel/apartment has been booked already by my brother's friend M. We're staying at the Fraser Apartments in Luangsan. Click on the link and see how amazing it looks! I can't wait already (Super giddy with excitement!!!!)
Tour - My friend W who's been based in Bangkok said that she'll do the booking for us - her apartment building's conceirge arranges the best tours (daw). We're taking the Ayuthaya Tour that is an hour bus ride up and on the way back to Bangkok - we'll be riding a ferry - I do hope it's an air-conditioned one!!
Itinerary - well, this part is still - non existent. It got me thinking - the first time I went to Bangkok - all we did was shop, there were no tours at all. This time, I think I'd like to see some more sights. I mean - 3 whole days in Bangkok (2 airport days) - that's a LOT of time already, don't you think?
I just hope that the weather is bearable. I'd have to bring my ever reliable fan again with me - to save me from the heat!!
I also just learned yesterday that October 29 - Monday was declared a non-working holiday to give way to the local Baranggay elections! Sweet! It means that - I will only be skipping 2 working days!! Yehaaaaaaaaaaa!! And when I come back - I'd still have one whole day to rest! Perfect!!!
Now, I wished that we had booked our trip on October 27 instead of the 30th!! We could have gone to Phuket! Dang it!!
Maybe next time....
BTW - Would anyone know how Bangkok celebrates Halloween?
