Chao Phraya River Bangkok

Nous sommes arrivés à Bangkok peu après 8h du matin par le vol de Dubai. Nous avons passé la douane sans encombres. Chargé de nos sacs à dos et après avoir pratiquement rien dormi dans le vol de nuit nous avons pris le train de l'aéroport jusqu'à Bangkok, puis le métro et enfin le "Skytrain". Carla fut très impressionnée et intimidée par cette …

Hi Friends and family!

I'm finally writing my travel blog. This post will be about Bangkok Thailand, where I flew into when starting this adventure. When my 27 hour flight finally landed in Bangkok, I was determined to still feel up for a sense of adventure and as recommended by Kur, I took the Bangkok Skytrain and a taxi to our luxurious …

We got up this morning about 9am. I wasn't feeling too crash hot but we went downstairs and had breakfast at the Novotel. This morning we got eggs on toast but the lady didn't speak English so we ended up with two really well cooked eggs, one broken egg and one under cooked egg. We split the good ones and then got some fried rice, little frankfurts …

The last week has been my longest time gap between blog entries. Why? I forgot about our travel blog. Why? Because we are in Bangkok.

Fabulous infinity pool at the Chatrium looking right up the Chao Phraya river. Maia and I remembered saying 'this time next week we'll be in Bangkok' when we were at …

Days 2, 2, 4 and 5 in Bangkok went a little like this.


I can't actually remember what order I did all this in but then it doesn't really matter.

Day 2 I decided I was gonna hit Chatuchak weekend market. It is a 45 minute bus ride from Khao San road and the bus stop is 30 seconds away from Happy House. It cost 15 Baht and …

Første møte med Thailand: Bangkok

En liten flytur fra Siem Reap så var vi i Bangkok. Mørket hadde for lengst lagt seg da vi landet, men likevel var det ikke vanskelig å se at denne byen skulle bli en
utfordring å feie gjennom på 1 og en halv dag:-) Vi fløy over blinkende lys i alle regnbuens farger, i mange mange minutter!

…and if you can’t travel with friends, Wat is it Pho?

The day started with my husband going to his professional conference in Asia, and me preparing to meet American journalist/writer/singer/actor and Bangkok resident Nicholas Snow—a dear friend and colleague for the better part of this century, as he notes in …
