30 Days in Thailand: Part Two

<h2>Welcome to Bangkok</h2> It looks crazy doesn’t it? I can’t think of a better word to describe it. The population here is around 10.5 million, with traffic to prove it. There are a lot of sites to see within the city, but so far I’ve always flown in or out, and then made a quick exit. Some people really thrive on the big city life, but I personally prefer the peace and quiet of the countryside. <img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:700/0*I6uYMtwXkplvTsez" style="height:639px; width:700px" /> A few Western restaurants near the hotel. Photo by author. There’s an affordable hotel near the airport I booked once before. It’s not a five-star establishment, but it is clean, as well as convenient to a few stores and a 7/11. I had a taxi take me there, fully aware that the driver overcharged by 200 baht. It’s equal to five or six American dollars. It’s not enough to squabble over when you’ve flown for over 20 hours. <a href="https://medium.com/globetrotters/30-days-in-thailand-part-two-997f3f0ef64c">Learn More</a>
