Old Town Bangkok *avoid tourist traps*

Today we caught the local water taxi from just near our accommodation (Marina Pier) to Old Town Bangkok (The Chang). We had read that when in Bangkok you MUST catch a water taxi and after doing it we can see why!

Once in the old town we were bombarded with people trying to get us to do a private tuk-tuk tour. As usual we just wanted to do our own thing, but to be polite we listened to each persons story right up until they finally said that they were selling a tour and named their price. Its hard for us to just say no, especially when people are being so friendly and start up a conversation. Prior to hitting the streets of Bangkok we had gone online to read about common ‘scams’ or ‘tourist traps’ that operate in Thailand. We had read a lot about people telling you wrong information about attraction open times, we didn’t really get why anyone would do that until today….

Anyway, all that aside, we ended up going to The Golden Mount - it really is a sanctuary in the centre of Bangkok. Its VERY cheap to get inside the temple and it gives you panoramic views of the city!

We said goodbye to our jobs, sold all our belongings, and left Australia on a one-way ticket to Shanghai with just each other and our backpacks! We plan to travel the world for a year, see as much as possible, meet as many people as we can, and most importantly MAKE OUR MONEY LAST!

When we left Australia we decided to make travel vlogs to share our journey with our friends and family back home. We also love watching other travel vloggers on YouTube, in particular Kara and Nate, The Endless Adventure, Way Away, and Flying The Nest.
