Thailand is a traveller’s paradise. It is affordable and offers something for everyone. If you are looking to take a trip with your gang, simply pack your bags and book tickets on NokAir. They operate flights twice a week, between Guwahati and Bangkok. Now, it is not always possible to get a whole week off work, so you may need to keep your trip short. But is it possible to explore Bangkok in 3 or 4 days? We think it is a good enough duration for you to get a taste of everything that the city has to offer, but you will need to plan well. To help you out, we put together a 72-hour guide that will come in handy.
Day 1: Ready, Set, Fly
You will arrive at Don Mueang International Airport early in the morning. It is a good idea to take a cab to the city centre as it is the most convenient. You can head directly to the hotel, and if the hotel is not able to give you an early check-in. Simply ask them to store your luggage and head out.
Get something quick to eat from the closest 7-Eleven, they have a range of breakfast items like sandwiches and baked goodies. After enjoying your breakfast, get on the BTS sky train to get to the National Stadium station. Use Google maps to find the nearest station. Instead of getting individual tickets every time you use the BTS, simply purchase a Rabbit card that you can top up with as much money as you want, and use countless times.
One of Bangkok’s most talked about tourist spots, Jim Thompson House, is walking distance from the National Stadium station. It opens at 9 am, so you can take a tour early morning, before it starts to get crowded. Next, walk to the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre, which is 6 minutes away. Entry is free, and it is home to interesting exhibits and artwork. And if you get tired of all the walking, give your feet a break by enjoying a cup of coffee at one of the cafes in the premises.

MUSINGS OF A SOLDIER: TIT-BITS
People often ask me about my life out of uniform. Honestly, I have had no problems. Not so far. Instead, I find it quite refreshing. No routine, no parades, no briefing, no impending operations. Having donned the uniform since the age of thirteen until I hung up my boots last year, could I ever visualize life out of uniform? Not really. But, as I said, the transition has been quite smooth–no hang-overs, no regrets. People have been very positive in their interactions. Government departments have been responsive whenever I have approached for assistance.The genuine respect for the uniform is quite evident and it makes my heart swell with pride. Arunachal, to that extent, is the most nationalistic state in the country, I daresay. It has been kind of a revelation for me to experience the freedom of being a common man in an environment of positivity!
