In our itinerary, we only have less than a day to tour the city. Unfortunately our flight got delayed and then we had to wait for the check-in time in D&D Inn before we could tour because our bags were too heavy. So the "less than a day" became less than 3 hours to tour the temples. #squeezeit
While waiting for our check-in Kaye and I ate in Nat Guesthouse which was just along Khao San Road.
Pork with Sticky rice and Seafood Pad Thai
With just a map in hand and our cameras Kaye and I explored the temples in Bangkok.
We left the hotel past 2 pm and hurriedly went to the first Wat(temple) thats just at the end of Khao San Road. The beauty of our location is that its close proximity, walking distance level, to the famous tourist spots in Bangkok like Wat Arun, Wat Pho, Grand Palace and National Museum. If in case you get lost just follow where most expats go because they too are heading to the tourist destinations or you can also ask around. Thais are nice and approachable. Nobody shrugged us off when we were asking for directions but there was a bit of a language barrier so be patient and smile.
*Watchana Songkran
This is just in front of the Police station at the end of Khao San Road.
*City Hall Shrine
*Ministry of Defense
Not a temple but one you'll take photo of because of the beautiful facade and the big cannons.
*Wat Pho(100Baht)
With free bottled water
Reclining buddha
Stupas inside the temple 
Welcome to Wat Pho!
Ariela Arida, 24, Philippines!!
*Chao Praya River
2.50 Baht to cross the river to get to Wat Arun from the boat terminal in Tha Tien.
*Wat Arun (50Baht)
Excuse the metal railings. The temples are under construction.
Closer look of the stupas design.
More buddhas. There were actually a lot of things we weren't able visit while in Bangkok like The Great Palace, Clubs in Silom and Patpong to name a few. We went to Siam but it was almost closing time so we just ate at a Thai Restaurant inside Siam Paragon. After our dinner we went out to the sidewalks in Siam for the night market.
*The Grand Palace
We were not able to get inside the palace because it was already past 4pm when we finished Wat Pho so we hust took a photo from accross the street.
*Siam Paragon
The curry was so spicy that we curse it.
*Hello Kitty Cafe
Located at the back side of Siam Square if your'e coming from the train station.

*Siam Square
Entrance from the train station.
For our nightly shindigs, Kaye and I would just cruise along the street of Khao San with a Chang beer in hand and watch the expats dancing and fliriing and getting crazy.
This taste better than their Singha, another brand of Thai beer.(100Baht)
Fave bar in Khao San. People rally outside the bar to party.
