4 Days Bangkok Itinerary with KKday

Aaaah Bangkok, Thailand’s bustling capital! This city is known for being the street food capital of the world. (NETFLIX will definitely agree with this—but let’s save that for another blog). Having said so, Bangkok is not only about street food, there are so many things to do around the country’s capital and also places close to it.

For my recent trip, I partnered with KKday (www.kkday.com) to explore Bangkok and other notable destinations close to it. These can be done in 4 days. Of course, you can adjust these suggested trips depending on the days that you will be spending in the city.

On my part, these were done on 4 consecutive days from Thursday till the weekend.

Here we go!

Grand Palace Half Day Tour

 First things first, before exploring things to do outside Bangkok, let us focus on what to do in the capital.

Exploring Bangkok in Style with TBS 1978 from Hit The Road PH

Before leaving Manila to visit Bangkok for a few weeks, I was able to get a hold of a shoe brand called TBS 1978. I was really excited to add it in my OOTD. Normally whenever I travel, I just bring my trusty hiking boots and a pair of flip flops. This time around knowing that I'll be spending most of my days in the city, it is fitting to dress up a bit and be stylish more than the usual "backpacker get-up" (tho the rugged look is still my comfort zone haha).



To learn more about this brand,

TBS 1978 is a ready-to-wear shoe brand that is proud of its French heritage and has been introduced in the Philippines via Hit The Road PH. It is best known for leather sneakers that bring to you comfort, style and versatility as it integrates its active lifestyle design with premium full- grain leather to marry the need for everyday stylish comfort. 

Each pair is crafted with a cushion in-sole to increase comfort, a Technogrip patterned sole to ensure grip and a full-grain leather exterior that outlasts the test of time.

So now that I got to test it, I must say that it is very comfortable. I walked the whole day thinking that because it was brand new, it needed a little break-in (based from my experience) and I was ready to get some little bruises from it, but amazingly nothing! It felt as if I've been using it for a long time already.

Yilan County Taiwan : How To Go, Where To Stay & Things To Do

I’ve been planning (or let’s say tempted) to visit Taiwan several times last year, ever since they have lifted visas for Filipinos entering the country. I came close to booking a flight during one of the local airline’s seat sale but unfortunately, things didn't really worked out as planned (dreamed). Good thing, before 2018 came to a close, I got a chance to visit Taiwan, though not the capital, I still  got to explore country's northeastern town, Yilan County.

To be honest, before being invited to explore Yilan, I really didn't have any idea what to expect in Yilan. Is it a city buzzling with tall buildings, a small quaint town infused with a smell of rice noodle soup everywhere or a town close to nature where every environmental enthusiast will be happy visiting?

My friend Valerie (@missvalirietan) and I arrived at the Taoyuan Airport in Taipei and welcomed with this placard

Here’s my attempt to tell you what are some cool and awesome things to do when you visit Yilan.

First and foremost, let me tell you some facts about Yilan:

Yilan is situated in Taiwan's Northeastern coastline. Our local guide mentioned that Yilan is regarded as Taiwan’s backyard or backyard garden because it is surrounded by ocean and mountains, making it a nature-destination trip especially if you are coming from a busy city like Taipei.

It Is a famous tourist destination for a lot of local Taiwanese and currently getting some buzz from foreign visitors as well, thanks to the Hsuehshan Tunnel, Asia’s second longest highway tunnel. This tunnel helped in reducing the driving time between Taipei and Yilan to roughly an hour.
