Chatuchak Market Bangkok

Already two and a half weeks into our trip, this blog entry (and a few more to shortly follow) is coming to you late and will attempt to sum up the adventures we have been on so far. Emily and I spent one of those weeks in and around Bangkok, and the other in Chiang Mai/Chiang Rai. We are currently in Laos (but that is getting ahead of ourselves …

When we'd arrived last night there was really noisy construction right outside the hostel. Both of us were worried that it would keep us awake but those beers must have been just enough to send us off as neither heard a thing. Not working Sunday when we woke up.

Another hot shower - yay!!! Great cheap brekkie down in the lobby of the …

Today after eating our yummy cold pizza for breakfast we
went to Chatuchak market that was huge, now although my case is already
bursting at the seams with the amount of clothes I have brought with me, I
thought what the hell I might as well have a look :) Well hours later with 4
tops and 3 pairs of shorts later we decided …

This morning we finally arrived in Bangkok after another epic journey.

The journey started at 12pm with a taxi pickup and then involved a ferry ride, bus, minibus, bus and taxi ride finally bringing us to our hotel in Bangkok the following morning at 5.30am. The night bus was horrible, so cramped and uncomfortable that we didn't sleep at …

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.

The journey from Koh Samui to our hotel in central SIlom was almost seamless. It was easy and pleasant which are the first two adjectives I would choose to describe Thailand. However we have seen glimpses, …

Its day 4 in Bangkok. We've run out of toilet roll and Darragh is in the shower cleaning his **** with a hose.

Ive been bamboozled, enlivened, disorientated, rat-*****, ripped off, and robbed. Bangkok ate 5 days of my travel budget in the first night buying bucket after bucket of vodka redbull for myself and my new single-serving friends …

We arrived in Bangkok for the second time, and with our new found haggling skills got a tuk tuk into an area called Silom where we were staying for a couple of nights.

That night we went to visit the Chatuchak weekend market, which was huge so many different stalls selling souvenirs, food and clothes. After walking round a fraction of it …

Hello to everyone back in England!

We arrived in Bangkok pretty knackered after a really short overnight flight. On the first day we went to a big mall called MBK, it sells loads of fake designer clothes and ipods and things. We even went to the cinema here, the first time I've been to the cinema in a while! We watched We Bought a Zoo …

On the 9th we chilled in the hotel room for most of the day, coming out only to make a pot noodle and to get dinner at the restaurant we like.
Yesterday we caught the ferry back to Don Sak. From there we got two buses to Surat Thani train station, then boarded the 12hour night train to Bangkok. We should have pre booked as there were only third …

If you ask someone, what is special about Bangkok, than the obvious answer will be that the shopping places are out of this world. You will enjoy to the hilt shopping, exploring places and getting access to almost everything that you are looking out for. Once you are in Bangkok, you won't face any trouble in finding a good store or whatsoever you …
