The First Day in Bangkok


It was merely four days left when I received the mission which was the business trip for manufacturing exhibition in Bangkok. Although, there were not exactly the sufficient time to make the well preparation, I still had the great deal of expectation for this trip because it would be the first time I would be able to introduce and promote our developed product in the foreign exhibition personally. Last exhibition I had participated was the automation exhibition in Taipei, I had a formal presentation for introducing our new technical features and functions of our product, but in the following period there were fewer opportunities to stand on the front line to face the client and market. Fortunately, in the Bangkok, we had the complete branch where could provide the utterly support for the period when I stay in Thailand.

The next few days, I tried my best to study and receive any information about Bangkok via books and Internet. In the trip, I would have one free day and I have to responsible for my own transportation everyday in the downtown. Thus, I had to understand the fundamental profile of this city. In the beginning, the colleague in Thailand helped me to arrange the airport transportation and hotel. On the other word, I could arrive at the hotel where I would stay each day in the trip. The distance between hotel and exhibition center is suitable for the taxi. Unfortunately, there is no MRT station near the hotel that I could walk to, so I began to seek something special near the hotel. I had found the shopping center and night market where I could go after work in the evening. Truly speaking, it is impossible for me to go only one place in the whole six days trip.


However, as the departure day arrival, I still hadn’t made the sufficient preparation for this trip. I had taken a guide with me, but I finally decided to put it in the suitcase. I was still not sure for what would I do after I arrived in Bangkok for the whole free day. I got up early, and arrived at airport on time. The advanced process I had been familiar with, but I had got the special seat where located beside emergency exit. Although, it was not the regular seat I had sit before, the empty space is much larger so that I could straighten my whole leg comfortably. Except for this special experience, there were not any other things happened I hadn’t imagined. After four hours, we arrived at the Bangkok airport and I had dealt with the mobile Internet. Then, our corporation had arranged the shuttle van for picking up to the hotel.

Finally, I had arrived at the hotel about 1:00 in the afternoon. Even so, I thought I had lots of free time for me to hang out in this unfamiliar city all day long, I was exactly too tired so I began hesitate whether or not to start this short city tour. Fortunately, after the short nap,
I made the firmly decision to set out. I asked the hotel for calling the taxi, so I could go to the nearest BTS station. However, I still didn’t really know the major viewpoints in this city, under the deeply consideration, I decided try to go to the most lively part in the downtown. I took the BTS to the target station and get off the train to hang out in the city on foot. There were lots of department stores located here and I had also visited the major store and train station nearby. I had walked to another area, so I took the MRT which is another system of the underground in the Bangkok. This was the most exciting day though I was extremely exhausted when I got back the hotel. In fact, it was merely the first day of my six days business trip.
