Waking Up in Bangkok: Breakfast at Gecko Bar in Soi Rambuttri

Sawatdee Ka! It was a lazy Sunday morning in Bangkok, but we figured out that we shouldn’t waste our time. It is beneficial for backpackers to stay within the Khao San Road- Soi Rambuttri area because some of Bangkok’s most recognized landmarks are just a few steps away.

Waking up hungry, we left Thara House immediately and went straight to Soi Rambuttri to look for a good place to eat breakfast. It seems like everyone woke up late as almost every food establishments were full. We tried looking for a Pad Thai vendor, but we failed.

Thanks to that group of backpackers who left on our second attempt, we found a spot at Gecko Bar. What I love about the set-up is that the tables and chairs face the road. It’s fun to look at random strangers while eating your breakfast or while sipping your favorite morning coffee.

Another reason why I love this place is the Free Wifi. Actually, I suspect that one of the customers that morning is a blogger too. He was editing some pictures he took from Khao San Road and later on switched into a coding window.

Here’s what we ordered for our breakfast:

I spent 70 Baht for my meal (Fried Rice with Vegetables and Chicken + Iced Coffee). The servings were pretty big (for me at least) that’s why I didn’t really think of lunch. Now that our stomach is full, we are ready for some sightseeing and temple hopping!

CONFIRMED: He’s a blogger! I tried to lurk in his screen once more and saw a WordPress platform. I think he owns a travel blog in German or other European Language. Aside from his Bangkok-related adventures, maybe he is also searching for  a perfect holiday to magaluf  . This is a fun way to spot a co-blogger 😛
