Yes, we found it on AirBnB. Hahaha! Yup, we couldn’t really sightsee or walk from one place to another without getting wet.

Hey Wayne – that’s awesome about the studio apartment! I think that £25 per night for a whole apartment is pretty cheap for 2 people in Bangkok. Did you find the apartment using Airbnb?

Haha! Songkran Festival sounds like a funny – but also kinda annoying – time to be travelling :D

Thanks for sharing!

It’s definitely not cheap but we wanted a comfortable place to rest at night after all the water fight.

We had to walk for about 15 minutes to reach the nearest BTS station, but all is good until Songkran Festival starts. Silom Road was closed off because it was one of the main venues for a massive water fight and we had to get wet every time we wanted to take a train.

There were times we had to take a taxi or an Uber to reach a BTS station or the downtown area where all the cultural and historical attractions are simply because we didn’t want to get wet. :P
