1. Andrew's story shouldn't have ever come up! Pero dahil naging interesting din iyon character niya sa Vegas, I thought I should make him one--a main character, well, after ko kasing magsulat ng BL story last year, I thought I should write one again at si Andrew ang pinasok ko.
2. Heikenz name! Of course, mawawala ba ang famous ketchup? Ang backstory ng name na ito ay no'ng OJT days ko pa sa ABS-CBN. Na-kwento kasi sa akin ng head ko no'n na ang tawag nila sa previous intern nila ay tawag nila ay ketchup kasi Heinz ang pangalan which is 'yong brand nga ng ketchup. That name has been lingering around for me since hangga't sa nagamit ko perfectly for Bangkok!
3. Heikenz Suwari Parvati-- his last name came from a survivor winner called Parvati Shallow.
4. Franklin's guesting in this book is so out of nowhere, though hindi naman siya basta-basta pinasok na lang since it's part of his story dahil yes, in the future, he'll be having his own story din!
5. To be honest, I was really excited to write this story before, but all of a sudden, nawala 'yong spark, na-busy kasi ako sa work nitong time na 'to at halos weekends lang ako nakapagsusulat at may hinahabol akong deadline for another storry kaya ko siya napabayaan.
6. May mga ilang events at holidays na dapat mangyayari pa sa story pero hindi ko na nailagay. It would be a vital part of the story sana, but since nalihis ulit ako ng plot, naiba ulit.
7. Tatlong couple from other WTS stories ang walang guesting sa Bangkok! Paris, Manila, and Jeju! But I'm thinking we would see them in some of the special chapters in the future!
8. At first, I really have a precise plot for this story, kaso nga bigla akong nalihis and I just scrapped the plot I had in mind before, and just go with the flow. I never really had the intention of breaking them apart, actually, it had to be one of the sweetest things that couples would do, but I did the opposite thing.
9. AWIB should be matured, as in, may detailed sexual scenes sana ito. I've had it in mind since Andrew and Heikenz would start to discover their relationship, pero hindi rin nangyari. The only sexual thing that happened ay 'yong phone sex ni Heikenz kay Rune.
10. If Heikenz and Andrew ended up together, Tim and Robert wouldn't have to be in the story.

1. Bangkok is the shortest novel for the World Trip Series with only 76K words! Some were over 90K words!
2. It took me 3-4 months to complete this story. If I'm going to add up where it was first posted back in April, it would be five months. Mas matagal pa kaysa kay London.
3. This is the only story sa World Trip Series na hindi nagkatuluyan ang mga bida. But they still ended up on good terms.
4. Bangkok isn't on the original plan of World Trip Series, kung nanonood ka ng Thai BL series, mage-gets mo kung bakit BL din ang bida sa story na ito.
5. In this story, ito lang ata 'yong new characters na wala along pinagkunan sa kung among reality shows maliban kay Caroline, of course dahil originally Vegas character siya.
6. I have a plan that if Andrew wouldn't end up with someone else, ipapasok ko siya sa Continental Romance to find his own pair, but I think no need na 'yon ngayon.
7. Yes, there would be some of the characters here na lalabas din sa Continental Romance future seasons. Yup. Continental Romance Season 1 has already had its full cast.
8. Aside from the characters na mapupunta sa Continenal Romance, one of the characters would be having her own story sa 3rd Generation!
9. Why A Week in Bangkok? Ang unang pumasok sa isipan ko, dahil bisita lang naman ang gagawin nina Caro at Andrew sa Bangkok, it would make sense and whatever happened that week had a lot of story to tell. Pero lagi naman akong nalilihis sa original plan, but the title still makes sense eitherway.
10. If I haven't already had the timeline before, Bangkok would go first before Jeju.
And there you have it! As you've got to know some things that happened behind the scenes, it's to ask some questions to our beloved Bangkok casts!
