Day 3: With Renee
Loha Prasat Temple Day three in Bangkok, and I finally understand what people mean when they talk about golden hour energy. Renee and I spent the afternoon exploring Loha Prasat, the Metal Temple. The moment we stepped inside, the noise of the city seemed to disappear. The temple felt calm in a way that’s difficult to explain—like peace you can stand inside. Outside, the sky was painted in soft shades of blue and gold. My cobalt blue outfit almost matched it perfectly, while Renee looked completely at home among the ancient architecture and intricate details that make this place so special. Travel has a way of slowing you down when you need it most. Today wasn’t about checking landmarks off a list. It was about taking a moment to appreciate where we were and how far the journey had already brought us. Afterward, I found a small local spot and ordered pad kra pao—no egg, of course. It was spicy enough to wake up my whole spirit. Small prayers. Big flavor. Another beautiful day in Bangkok. — Trina
