Places I’d like to visit & things I’d like to do

Important note: Just like every other plan regarding travels I’ve made throughout my life, this is merely a wishlist, a brainstormed compilation of places I NOW think that I will want to see (and make Mr A wanting to see them too). However, this is not a compulsory itinerary and we’ll quite likely end up not seeing half of the places for going somewhere else or simply enjoying a few days “off”.

In Bangkok

  • Wat Pho
  • Wat Phra Kaew
  • Imperial Palace
  • Haggle at Chatuchak Weekend Market
  • Do a Dinner Cruise (we have one planned for Christmas Eve)
  • Sip cocktails at a rooftop bar (preferably Lebua Sky Bar or at Vertigo Bar) - turned out to be distil AND Sky Bar at State Tower
  • Muang Boran
  • Wander around Siam Paragon shopping centre
  • Lumphini Park (sunset?) – no sunset but definitely worthwhile
  • Wat Arun
  • Walk the streets of Bangkok

Outside Bangkok

  • Dive the Similans – I snorkeled
  • Visit night markets (somewhere, anywhere, everywhere)
  • Take a half-day trip to the Floating Market in Damnoen Saduak
  • Take a cooking class
  • Visit Khao Sok National Park
  • Take a tour on a longtail boat – Phang Nga bay it turned out to be
  • Watch a sunrise or sunset on a sandy beach – many a sunset on Khao Lak’s Bang Niang Beach

 Maybe visit

  • Ayuthaya
  • Kanchanaburi
  • Sukhothai Historical Park           

In Cambodia

  • Have a drink at Aqua in Siem Reap
  • Spend a  day at Tonle Sap Lake incl. Kamphong Phlouk (flooded forest)/ boat ride / sunset at this particular temple whose name slipped my mind

Maybe visit

  • Koh Ker
  • Wat Athvea and Wat Preah Inkosei 
  • Prek Toal (water bird sanctuary)
