2008 - Bangkok

It was Ken’s very first time in Bangkok — and in Thailand. Like many backpackers, we began the journey with a night on Khaosan Road, the lively backpacker hub known for its nightlife and endless street energy. After enjoying the vibrant scene there, the next day we shifted into cultural mode, visiting several temples around the Old Town, soaking up the history and beauty of Bangkok’s spiritual heart.

Later, we moved to explore the modern side of the city, experiencing a completely different atmosphere with its malls, skytrains, and buzzing urban life. The most memorable moment, though, was celebrating Ken’s birthday in style at the world-famous Sirocco rooftop restaurant. Dining high above the city lights was the perfect way to mark his first Bangkok adventure.
