Having been on the road for several months, arriving in Bangkok felt very homelike. Not only because we\u2019ve visited this awesome city many times before, but also because we met up with Johanna\u2019s family there. We enjoyed our time in Bangkok by indulging in Thai food, doing some sightseeing, chilling by the pool and having a little holiday from all the traveling. We also needed a new plan on how to continue our journey, as the pandemic had ruined our original travel plans.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Re-union in Bangkok<\/h2>\n\n<p>The re-union at a street food restaurant in Bangkok felt almost surreal. Johanna\u2019s sister had arrived to the city already some days ago because of work. Her boyfriend had joined later but was about to fly back to Finland that night just after our dinner together. And Johanna\u2019s mom had just arrived the same day. So here we were, after us being on the road for almost half a year already, having a delicious family dinner Thai style on a busy street in Bangkok.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Things we did in Bangkok \u2013 a few recommendations<\/h2>\n\n<p>There\u2019s so much to see in Bangkok. As we\u2019ve visited a few times before, we didn\u2019t go crazy with sightseeing, but we did visit some old favorites as well as some completely new places for us.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wat Saket \u2013 The Golden Temple<\/h3>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" class=\"wp-image-4212\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/blog-P1210401-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/blog-P1210401-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/blog-P1210401-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/blog-P1210401-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/blog-P1210401.jpg 1900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n<figcaption>The Golden Temple<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\n<p>The Golden Temple, Wat Saket, is located on an artificial hill in the old town.

He was a passionate traveler and antique collector and his house is filled with fascinating objects to look at. The house itself is special as well, because it\u2019s built by combining many small traditional Thai houses. There\u2019s also a restaurant in the beautiful garden, where we had some yummy happy hour cocktails.

We took a small boat across the river from Khlong Toei Pier and rent bicycles straight on the pier on the island side. Even though we like the bustle of the city, a bike tour on the island was such a nice way to escape the busy city life for a while.

We have visited MBK shopping mall mostly because of its great food court, but they also sell pretty much everything in this huge shopping center. Two other malls worth visiting, not necessarily because of shopping but because of their interior, are Terminal 21 and Siam Centre. In Terminal 21, every floor is resembling a different travel destination, like San Francisco, Rome or Morocco. And the ground floor of the luxurious Siam Centre is decorated in a very innovative way, with rivers, trees and food stalls. Johanna\u2019s favourite night market, JJ Green, had unfortunately closed down, but we found a nice alternative, Talad Rot Fai (Ratchada Train Market).<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" class=\"wp-image-4219\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/blog-P1210582-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"San Francisco themed floor of Terminal21\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/blog-P1210582-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/blog-P1210582-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/blog-P1210582-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/blog-P1210582.jpg 1900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n<figcaption>San Francisco themed floor of Terminal21<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" class=\"wp-image-4218\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/blog-P1210557-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Decoration at Siam Centre\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/blog-P1210557-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/blog-P1210557-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/blog-P1210557-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/blog-P1210557.jpg 1900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n<figcaption>Decoration at Siam Centre<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" class=\"wp-image-4213\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/blog-P1210485-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"The Ratchada Train Market\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/blog-P1210485-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/blog-P1210485-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/blog-P1210485-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/blog-P1210485.jpg 1900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n<figcaption>The Ratchada Train Market<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Indulging in Thai food (and drinks)<\/h2>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" class=\"wp-image-4208\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/blog-P1200873-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Papaya salad, Pad Thai and spring rolls\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/blog-P1200873-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/blog-P1200873-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/blog-P1200873-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/blog-P1200873.jpg 1900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n<figcaption>Papaya salad, Pad Thai and spring rolls<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\n<p>One of the reasons we like Bangkok so much is the foooood. Nevertheless, this time we won\u2019t give any restaurant tips because you get yummy Thai food pretty much everywhere, duh. The city\u2019s street food culture is strong, and you can find surprising treats just around any corner. As vegetarian or vegan, the options are a bit more limited though, and there might be some fish sauce, oyster sauce and such things hidden in foods that seem vegetarian, so better ask to make sure. Also, food courts at shopping malls are great places to find cheap local food, and some of them have vegetarian stands, too. After all, we must give one restaurant tip, which is actually one of our favorite eateries in Bangkok, despite the shopping mall atmosphere: the above-mentioned veggie food stand at MBK mall with a sign \u201cGood Taste Vegetalian\u201d!!<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" class=\"wp-image-4209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/blog-P1200894-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Never mind the plastic trays and shopping mall vibes, this food at MBK food court is delishhh...\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/blog-P1200894-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/blog-P1200894-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/blog-P1200894-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/blog-P1200894.jpg 1900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n<figcaption>Never mind the plastic trays and shopping mall vibes, this food at MBK food court is delishhh&#8230;<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\n<p>During our stay in Bangkok, besides indulging in delicious Thai food, we also consumed alcohol maybe more than we would like to admit. Well, we were on a family holiday so why not&#8230; Mostly we just sipped some drinks by the roof top pool at sunset or sat on some small plastic chairs at markets or street restaurants, watching people pass by. On a few evenings we ended up at the infamous Khaosan Road. It truly is a horrible place one wants to escape, but at the very end of it we discovered a chill drink stand with a diy vibe called Gypsy\u2019s Lips. We also found a few nice and creative bars at the Nana Street in China Town. We dragged Johanna\u2019s mom with us where ever we went, and towards the end of the evening she would start questioning \u201cisn\u2019t this enough already?!\u201d, but we could tell that she was having fun, too.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" class=\"wp-image-4226\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/blog-IMG_20200217_213311-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Cocktails by the pool for our last night in BKK\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/blog-IMG_20200217_213311-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/blog-IMG_20200217_213311-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/blog-IMG_20200217_213311-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/blog-IMG_20200217_213311.jpg 1900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n<figcaption>Cocktails by the pool for our last night in BKK<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting stuck and re-planning our trip<\/h2>\n\n<p>Even though we didn\u2019t plan it, we ended up staying 10 nights in Bangkok. This was the longest stop we\u2019ve had after Hampi. We said our farewells to Johanna\u2019s family after a week but as we had some unfinished computer work, we two decided to extend our stay and work by the pool. Well, as we said, Bangkok is one of our favorite cities, so we really didn\u2019t mind getting stuck there for a bit longer!<\/p>\n\n<p>We also had to make a new plan on how to continue our journey. We were supposed to start our \u201cway home\u201d overland from Bangkok, by travelling towards China and Russia. At this point (February 2020) it had come clear that because of the Covid situation, we could forget all our plans that included China and that there was no chance to get home overland. We needed a whole new plan! It was disappointing to realize that we were not able to do the whole journey without flying as planned, but what comforted us was the fact that in 2013 we traveled overland from Finland to South-East Asia and finally to Bangkok trough Russia, Mongolia, and China. So, in a way we had now closed the circle. Instead of heading North we decided to try to get to the southernmost point of Asia one can get overland \u2013 Singapore. Of course, it was also unclear if we would be able to succeed in this, as the situation in Asia was getting more and more difficult. But we were not ready to go home yet. So, after Bangkok, we slowly started our way South\u2026<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3aa16ef elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-global elementor-global-3685 elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"3aa16ef\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a2fa5a0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-global elementor-global-3676 elementor-widget-post-navigation\" data-id=\"a2fa5a0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"post-navigation.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation\" role=\"navigation\" aria-label=\"Post Navigation\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation__prev elementor-post-navigation__link\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/en\/2021\/07\/08\/myanmar-thailand-border-myawaddy-maesot\/\" rel=\"prev\"><span class=\"post-navigation__arrow-wrapper post-navigation__arrow-prev\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-caret-left\"><\/i><span class=\"elementor-screen-only\">Prev<\/span><\/span><span class=\"elementor-post-navigation__link__prev\"><span class=\"post-navigation__prev--label\">Previous<\/span><span class=\"post-navigation__prev--title\">From Myanmar to Thailand overland \u2013 Crossing the Myawaddy &#8211;
