What NOT to do in Bangkok, Thailand episode!
Bangkok, Thailand can be a place that people love or hate. And unfortunately for us…we didn’t love it. But we also realize that this is likely entirely our own fault. So we wanted to address what NOT to do in Bangkok, Thailand plus tips to have a much better time than we did!
Hindsight is 20/20 right? We made plenty of mistakes when it came to planning the last few days of our honeymoon during our visit to Bangkok, and we wish we would’ve been more prepared before venturing into the most visited city in the world. From lack of research to not managing our expectations, find out what not to do in Bangkok and how to have a great trip there!
