First-timer heads to Bangkok with friends, and sparks a new interest for travel


Wat Arun is a popular temple among tourists and locals.

I have never travelled overseas, so when one of my colleagues suggested that we go on a trip to Bangkok, Thailand, I jumped at the chance. I love photography so I thought this would be a good opportunity for me to take many pictures of new and interesting places and things.

When I packed for the trip, I didn’t really think much about what to bring because we were only going for three nights. But at the airport, I was detained for carrying too much liquid in my cabin bag! My shampoo was confiscated and thrown into the bin.
