Kabuhayan Tours

Everybody would agree with me that careful planning and atttention to details would make every trip easy, hassle free and thus very relaxing and enjoyable. However, even the well planned trip, especially in another country with a very wide language barrier would have some unplanned problems. Our recent trip to Bangkok was just like most trip...hours spent in the internet and careful planning didnt prepare us for Bangkok...its high humidity that would make even the most seasoned and cheerful traveller lost her cool, the language barrier, and everything. Thus we were very glad of the help given by Kabuhayan Tours.

We were searching for a place to stay while we are backpacking in Bangkok, when My, my co traveller, stumbled across this site on the net. It is located in Petchburi road which is just a stones throw away from Platinum mall and Pantip Plaza. For a place to spend the night and rest tired, aching muscles from too much site seeing and shopping, paying Php 600 per night per person seemed like a good bargain to me. Taxi and tuktuk drivers knew the place...if you are bringing a copy of the name in Thai, the breakfast is quiet decent for what we paid for, and the sheets were cleaned daily. But for me the most important part is the clean bathroom, the very cool AC and it is just across Kabuhayan Tours.

Bangkok and the 3 budget travellers

Of course its not only the new cam thats my indulgence for missing the christmas holiday. I have to have a some sort of christmas holiday! So I contacted 2 of my well travelled (takaw byahe) friends : Maricar and Mai-mai, we discussed several options and then booked the trip to Bangkok. Maricar and I availed of Cebu pac's promo seats for Php 5800+ round trip airfares for Mnl-Bkk, while Mai used her mabuhay miles also forking around Php 6k for the taxes.

We were blessed with good weather for the entire trip. Bangkok was hot, but very interesting, very exotic, and a wannabe's photographer's delight. The traffic is as horrendous as manila's. Only few of the locals knew good english but they are very accomodating with any enquiries. The streetlights at night is a kaleidoscope of colors. And the fruits and local delicacies is a gastronomic experience.
