Exploring Bangkok


If you guys are subscribed to my Vlog channel you'll probably know by now that I'm currently traveling Thailand and having the experience of a lifetime. You may not however know why I am here. So, heres a quick back story. But first subscribe to my vlog channel by clicking here ;)


BACK STORY

A company called RealGap sent me and a film crew (Reload Sessions) on a 10 day Bangkok to Beaches tour to film, explore and discover Thailand and all of its beauty. This is a trip myself, Reload Sessions and Real Gap have been planning for over 7 months so seeing all of our ideas come together is an incredibly rewarding feeling and I cannot wait to show you what we've been making and producing out here. 

But before the videos are released I'd like to share with you some pictures from our first stop, Bangkok.

On this particular trip we had 3 days to explore and film in Bangkok. When hearing about the city I was most excited to see the temples and learn about Buddhism. You guys may not know this but for the past few months I've found a huge amount of peace by inputting Buddhist teachings into my life, so for me, visiting the temples was a very exciting experience. 

Usually I'm not too keen on going to the main tourist attractions as I always feel like you don't get to see the place in its truest form BUT walking around the most famous temples was too much of an opportunity to miss, so that is exactly what we did and I can honestly say I would have hugely regretted it if I didn't go. Sure, its busy, its hot, its sweaty but oh my god, there is nothing more breathtaking than being surrounded by golden temples and practising monks whilst drinking from a fresh coconut and hearing about the history of Thailand. If you are ever in Bangkok, I seriously advise you to visit at least one of the major temples while you are there. The temples you can see in the pictures below are;

Wat Arun
Wat Pho
The Grand Palace






As well as visiting the temples myself and Reload Sessions filmed a music video for my channel on the busiest street in Bangkok.... it was an experience!! There was so much going on around us that Josh (the camera guy) nearly got run over by a motorbike and continuously got shouted at by angry Thai ladies and I just had to continue singing my heart out pretending nothing was going on haha! It was definitely one of the most challenging covers I've done because it was all in one take and there was a million and one things going on (including a man trying to lift up my dress) BUT I am so so so happy with the final video!

Thats all for now. Thanks so much for reading! I'll be posting more about my travels in the next week or so!

I just want to say a massive thanks to Real Gap for sending us on this trip. If you're interested in traveling Thailand I definitely recommend their Bangkok to Beaches tour. I also want to thank Reload Sessions for putting up with me for 2 weeks and for helping me create these videos!

Lots of Love
