A few months ago, we had the opportunity to visit the world's metropolis.
We carried our first mirrorless camera in our life, went for a walk around the city, enjoyed the view,
and took pictures that weren't very pretty, hahaha. But I wanted to share them with you anyway..
First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Bow. I've never posted a thread before.
If the information is incorrect, please forgive me.


Anyway, please follow us.

The first one is our own page, which we just created. It may look a bit quiet, but we're secretly working on reviews.

We also have some pictures from a film camera to share with you. Please like them.

If you're wondering how interesting and worth visiting this city is,
follow us, and we'll take you on a tour. ☺


Before you travel to the United States, don't forget to apply for a visa. You can do this by visiting the website
http://www.ustraveldocs.com/th_th/th-niv-visaapply.asp
Submit a visa application, fill out the DS-160 form,
pay the fee and schedule an interview.
If you are interested, you can follow the instructions on the website.
But you have to prepare your documents.
When I applied for a visa, I was a private company employee.
I submitted my salary certificate and bank statement to the officer.
After I got my visa, I chose to use Korean Air.
The round-trip airfare is about 35,000 baht.

The flight was very long for me.
I watched Elsa, Zootopia, played games, ate and slept. 55555
Finally, I arrived. Yay!

But
I had jet lag for 3-4 days before I could adjust. Hahahaha
I stayed near the Subway station Jackson Height, Roosevelt Avenue in Queens.
There are a lot of Asians living in this area, especially Chinese and Thai people.
It is safe and there are many Thai, Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean and other restaurants.
And the prices are not as expensive as in Manhattan. ☺


If you are on a budget, you can find daily accommodation in this area.

But I admit that you may not see beautiful views like hotels in the city center.
Try searching for information in the group "Thai people's houses for rent in New York".
There are many rooms in different areas that are interesting and convenient to travel. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.


If you have a plan to visit New York City for no more than 9 days and have limited time,
We recommend purchasing a Newyork Citypass to visit various interesting places in this city.
Details on this website http://www.citypass.com
But let me tell you in advance that some places, such as Moma, are open for free admission every Friday from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
And some places we can donate money instead of paying full price.
So if anyone has enough time, plan well and don't buy it, okay. As for us, we didn't buy it, hahaha.


For transportation, we use the Subway public transportation system.
And walking, walking, walking is the main way to lose weight.
Don't forget to ask for a subway map from the major stations.
In case you get lost, because we got lost and took the wrong train 555555
Details can be seen clearly on this website http://web.mta.info/nyct/maps/subwaymap.pdf
And use Google Maps to tell us the route when we walk around, we won't get lost for sure.

Come on, our bodies are ready, let's go on a trip ☺


1 : Central Park is the largest park in the city. The weather was perfect when we went, not too hot and not too cold. It was a comfortable walk.

We walked around without any plans. Whenever we saw a good angle, we just pressed the shutter. Hahahahaha.

People often come out to do outdoor activities all the time. Some people paddle boats, sunbathe, play football, exercise.

Taking the kids for a walk, playing music, getting portraits painted, and cycling in the sun.

There were also horse-drawn carriages to ride around and enjoy the view, but we didn't take the expensive option. We walked, we walked, we walked almost all day really.

For more information on maps, activities, or other details, please visit >> http://www.centralpark.com

2: The Metropolitan Museum of Art This museum is a collection of art from all over the world.

Due to its enormous size, there is a vast amount of art to admire. Art enthusiasts will be delighted by the extensive collection.

If you want to walk around and learn, you should plan your time well. Just walking through it takes about 4 hours.

And don't worry about getting hungry, rumbling stomachs, or dry throats. There are small cafes in each zone to cater to tourists.

The price may be a bit expensive, but the taste is very good. Another thing is that we can donate money instead of paying the entrance fee to this museum.

More details here >> http://www.metmuseum.org

3: Guggenheim Museum, an art museum that you can find by walking straight ahead after leaving The MET.

We didn't go inside, so we took a picture of the building that looks like a snail shell.

If you are interested in more information, please visit the website >> https://www.guggenheim.org

4: St. Patrick's Cathedral This church is soooo beautiful. Seriously, it's stunning. It's located on 5th Avenue.

Free admission for tourists, or donations are welcome. There is a light bag check before entering.

There is an outdoor zone open for photography, but if you walk inside to the ceremony area, there will be a sign saying no photography allowed.

It is recommended to visit in the morning or afternoon, as some evenings may be closed to tourists for photography.

For more information, please visit >> http://www.saintpatrickscathedral.org

5th Avenue. This street is famous among shopaholics, with almost every store imaginable for everyone to choose from.

If you're looking for glasses, shoes, perfume, cosmetics, or watches, you can find them all in this area.

During American holidays, there are many attractive promotions and discounts.

The famous viewpoint building, a popular tourist destination, is also located on this road.

For shopping enthusiasts, another equally famous district is Soho. Some shops are so big that we got lost walking around, haha.

If you're up for it, get your legs ready for some walking. Or, if you'd prefer to stroll in air-conditioned comfort, head to Macy's on 34th Street.

If you're looking for bargains and don't mind slightly outdated or imperfect items, Century 21 is the place to be. We spent the whole day there and practically walked ourselves thin! 55555

We didn't take any pictures because we were really walking around looking at things all day.

6: The New York Public Library remains on 5th Avenue. It is a beautiful marble building.

Free admission for tourists. Bags will be checked. There are a wide variety of books to choose from.

Neatly categorized branches, anyone who likes to read books here will definitely be satisfied.

And there was one room we really wanted to photograph, the Main Reading Room, but when we went it was closed for renovations, so we couldn't take any pictures.

They walked away with their heads down, haha. For more information, click here >> https://www.nypl.org

7: Bryant Park, a small park located behind The New York Public Library



People like to come here to sip coffee and chat. There is also a ballet rehearsal. It is a shady garden with a cool breeze.

Let's sit down and rest our legs for a bit to regain our strength so we can continue to other places.

Click here for more details >> http://www.bryantpark.org

8: Rockefeller Center Many people must have heard rumors of this sightseeing building.

We were originally going to go up the Empire State Building, but there were a lot of people in line and my brother said that there was a cage blocking the view of Manhattan.

Without further ado, we walked to the building and queued up to buy tickets. We chose to go up around 6:00 PM.

The sun sets around 8:35 p.m. The reason I chose to go up so early is because all the later rounds were full. Hahahaha.

So I had to go up and sit and wait, enjoying the atmosphere up there instead.

The top floor has 2 levels. The first level has a glass wall all around with seating inside. However, the top level is open-air.

There's nothing blocking our view at all. Plus, the weather is good, the wind is cool. We took pictures all the time. We stood until nine o'clock in the evening.

I'm so tired, but it's worth it to come up here. It's expensive, so I have to make the most of it. My photos might not be very good.

The view is amazing! If you're visiting, don't forget to check it out. I loved it! 5555555555

More details about ticket prices are here >> https://www.rockefellercenter.com

9: Times Square Cut back to us walking shoulder-to-shoulder with tourists, plus during the time we went, they were doing roadwork around the area.

Everyone here must know each other well. The lights, colors, and billboards, both for clothes and Broadway plays, are truly spectacular.

It's a dream countdown location for many, befitting its status as the world's entertainment capital.

10 : Grand Central Terminal, a massive train station in the heart of Manhattan

The top wall is beautiful, but we couldn't really see anything in our photos.

There are soldiers guarding the area at several points. You can walk around the station comfortably.

There are many restaurants and desserts to choose from below. If you go on a trip, don't forget to stop by.

11: Chelsea Market is like a small indoor market that is very interesting to walk around. There are many things to buy.

Books, trees, souvenirs, music CDs, snacks, or even the famous lobster restaurant that everyone says is fresh and affordable.

Located in this flea market, I'm just sharing a few photos of the atmosphere. The battery is about to die.

12: High Line Park, a public park built on a former elevated railway line.


Walking out of Chelsea Market on the top floor, if it's a Saturday or Sunday, there are a lot of people walking around.

So it's better to visit on weekdays, right? There will be seats to relax around here.

The atmosphere is great whether you're sitting and enjoying the view, looking at the flowers, or eating ice cream.

13: The Flatiron Building is a triangular building that has stood strong for decades.


Anyone passing by must take a commemorative photo. We think it's beautiful, well-designed and unique.

The building is located near Madison Square Park, where we stopped to grab a burger at the famous Shake Shack.

The bread is soft and delicious, but we don't eat meat, so we didn't take any pictures. It looks like a regular chicken burger, without any melted cheese. 55555555

14: Union Square Park Continuing along the path, further south, we come across another park where many people are relaxing.


It's just a private garden, so I didn't know what to take pictures of. If anyone has been there and has anything good to share, please let me know. I didn't find anything good when I went there.

15: Washington Square Park, continuing our walk to lose weight around NYU, America's famous private university.

Found another park! New York City really has green spaces in every corner of the city, and I really like this park.

I sat and chilled for a long time, watching people walk by. There were tons of cute college students.

16: Manhattan Bridge, a suspension bridge popular among tourists for taking photos from this angle.

We saw them taking pictures, looking up at the beautiful scenery, so we took some pictures too. 5555555555 From here, you can easily walk to the Brooklyn Bridge.

As we went, the sunlight burned and damaged our skin a lot. So we tried taking photos against the light at the Brooklyn Bridge. We secretly saw the important economic district in the distance.

17 : Brooklyn Bridge This suspension bridge is located near the Manhattan Bridge, but next to it is Brooklyn Park, a popular spot for photography.

More people are sitting and waiting to watch the sunset. On the bridge, there are both cyclists and pedestrians walking around. Be careful not to get hit by a bicycle.

Because this bridge clearly divides the lanes for bicycles and pedestrians, we took a walk across it one day, and another day we came to watch the sunset alone.

It's romantic if you have a partner, but we don't, lol. It's a great viewpoint and you can see the world's major economic districts from a wide angle.

Gotta go now.


Are you tired from walking around? Don't get tired yet!
Come on, let's continue our trip :)


18 : MoMA The Museum of Modern Art This museum offers free admission every Friday from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM.

So, for those of us on a tight budget, come and get a free pass. 55555555 It is recommended to walk from the top floor to the bottom floor.

Because Van Gogh's popular and famous art is above, we walk around and there are many beautiful pictures.

Anyone who has time, come and see. Come and get a free card like us. It's economical, worthwhile, and makes you smile.

19: One World Trade Center, the towering skyscraper built to replace the World Trade Center twin towers that were destroyed in a terrorist attack.

The top floor offers a panoramic viewpoint with a video presentation showcasing the beauty of New York City. We enjoyed the well-made video.

There's a cafe upstairs where you can sit and watch the sunset. Don't worry about getting hungry. As for the waiting area, we sat along the edges of the glass. I was too lazy to stand, haha.

However, the top is surrounded by glass, which makes it difficult to take pictures without reflecting the interior lights.

We ducked and looked around for a good angle for a long time before we found one we liked. You can tell from the selfies we took.

The interior lighting is so reflective that it's almost impossible to see the view. Personally, I prefer the Rockefeller building.

More details on ticket prices here >> https://www.oneworldobservatory.com

20: National September 11 Memorial & Museum at World Trade Center

A large reflecting pool was built on the site of the collapsed Twin Towers. Nearby is a museum that charges an admission fee.

The area is surrounded by a small garden and shady trees. Around the pond, the names of those who died in the incident are engraved.

Some relatives brought flowers and planted national flags on their names to commemorate each other. We watched the news and remembered it. It was so scary TT

21: Trinity Church This church is located near the New York Stock Exchange, a major economic hub of the world.

The interior of the church is beautiful and very peaceful. There are many important American figures buried behind the church, but we didn't take any pictures of them.

We actually walked around the Financial District once, but didn't take any pictures. If anyone goes there, please share some photos!

22: Coney Island If you're bored and want to walk by the sea, come on, follow me! New York has a sea too.

This island is packed with people sunbathing. Westerners love to get tanned, while I'm here taking photos and avoiding the sun.

It's similar to Pattaya in our country, but it's still a place to relax and dip your feet in the sea. It's not bad, give it a try.

Follow the activities >> http://www.coneyisland.com/tourist-information

23: Empire State Building, the iconic building of New York. Everyone must come and climb up to see the view.

However, we didn't go up, so we took a picture from a distance to share with you. If anyone goes up to see the view from above, don't forget to take a picture and share it with us.


That's all for now! We've walked around and seen the city as much as we could. Actually, there are many more places to visit.
Some places we didn't mention, we went but didn't bring a camera or the battery ran out, so we couldn't take pictures for you.
As for the important landmark, the Statue of Liberty, we didn't go up to the island. Instead, we took a ferry across from South Ferry to Staten Island.
We saw the Statue of Liberty from afar without paying to go up to the island. We saved money, yay! 55555555
If anyone has plans to visit, please visit for us too.



Thank you for following us.
