My Thai Bucket List


In one month from today I will be boarding a plane to travel for over 27 hours to arrive in Bangkok. I’m not sure it has quite hit me how long I will be traveling alone, but I still have a month to prepare for that trip (Anyone have any travel tips?). I have begun a bucket list of things that I want to do in Thailand. Right beside my bed I keep a journal that I’m planning on using in Thailand to jot things down on to blog about later or things that I don’t want to forget. I tend to lay in bed at night thinking about my trip and playing out random scenarios that will likely never happen, but often lead me to think of something that I want to do that must be added to the list. The first page or two I have dedicated to my Thailand bucket list. It’s a running list full of things that I’ve most likely read about.

·      Ride an elephant
·      Visit Chiang Mai
·      Ride a tuk-tuk
·      Go snorkeling
·      Zipline
·      Visit a Buddhist temple
·      Go to the floating market
·      Take a boat tour of the canals in Bangkok
·      See the hill-tribe villages
·      Trek to a waterfall
·      Scuba dive (this one may not happen because I am not a licensed scuba diver)
·      Watch the sunset at the beach
·      Go to a theater show
·      Watch Thai Boxing
·      Experience a Thai festival
·      Get a Thai massage

I hope to be able to post pictures and/ or tell stories of each of these things after I’ve actually experienced them! Look for those in the coming months!

  1. Take a cooking lesson from Pipp at the Thai House. It is a wonderful way to experience the food.

  2. You have already accomplished one item on your list! Didn't you trek to a waterfall yesterday?
