SOLO BIRTHDAY GETAWAY IN THAILAND! ANOTHER ONE TICKED OFF MY BUCKET LIST! :)

The idea of traveling solo has always come and go on my mind but i am too scared to go forward with it. I guess i am too scared of getting bored all on my own. At first my plan is to travel and celebrate my birthday with my bestfriend but something came up so she was not able to come with me as she had a different travel plan with her boyfriend for Europe. 
I don't want to calm my excitement down, so one crazy night i booked myself a flight going to Thailand alone. I chose to celebrate my birthday out of the country to reward myself, to make it memorable like i always want to and traveling alone is one of my bucket list items.

So YAY! I did it last November! My very first solo trip in a foreign country! 

After my solo trip in Thailand, I can confidently say that everyone should travel alone at least once in their lifetimes. There’s just nothing like it. The experiences you will gained from traveling alone is worth way more than the money you are paying for it.

Solo trip is a experience like none other. When traveling alone, you have all the freedom to do what you want, your mistakes are your own, you met lot of different amazing people from all over the world and especially your triumphs are more exciting and memorable.

Here are some of the pictures of places i have visited during my Birthday Getaway in THAILAND <3


I have added some travel tips as well for those who are planning to do the same trip.

KHAO SAN ROAD

  Backpackers Ghetto



How to travel from Suvarnabhumi Airport to Khao San Road?
The cheapest way to reach Khao San Road from Suvarnabhumi Airport is through BTS Sky Train and Taxi. If you are on a group (max. 4 person), i would suggest you to take a taxi but if you are alone the cheapest way is to take the BTS Skytrain from Suvarnabhumi Station and go to Phaya Thai Station as there is no direct train going to Khao San Road. From Phaya Thai Station take a taxi to Khao San Road.

Many tourist like to take the Tuk Tuk for the thrill and experience but taxi's are usually cheaper, unless you know how to negotiate. 

Transportation Cost: 
By Train: Suvarnabhumi BTS Station to Phaya Thai - 42Baht 
         By Taxi: Suvarnabhumi Airport to Khao San Road - 400 - 500Baht
        Phaya Thai to Khao San Road  - 70 - 100 Baht





Nothing is impossible with my loves. 
Thank you very much Annica, Tiff & Mitox 
for sending these flowers to my hotel room in Thailand<3



This is my dinner on my first night in Thailand. The food are cheap but it defends 
on where you want to eat. I spent a 180Baht for this meal but usually Pad Thai will cost you for only 25 - 50 Baht on the street.

Beers are cheap as well. 

Chang, Singha, Leo or other local beers cost
40 - 60 Baht per bottle


This is where i celebrated my epic birthday! 
A big thanks to THE CLUB for the free pass 
you gave me on my birthday. 


and especially to my new friend working in THE CLUB. 
I forgot her name but i am hoping to see her again 
when i get back to THAILAND.
