But actually, Bangkok's weather just was perfect …

Vi planerade in en heldag för att besöka Chinatown i dag. Det blev ett besök på ett par timmar då regnet verkligen öste ner... Men det vi hann uppleva var att om vi har sett mycket saker för försäljning tidigare så var allt 10 gånger mer här.och det verkade även vara billigare. Klockor till förbannelse och om man mot förmodan vill få tag på …

Waving farewell to Koh Samui, and the last of our Thailand beach adventures, we get picked up at noon from the hotel then drive to the pier. The boat is late so we sit around for an hour and a half before piling onto the boat. We sit along the side with our feet dangling through the rails and look out at the rocky islands and calm sea. After a …

So today was my first full day in Bangkok, I woke up at about half past 9 and thought it was time to get up so i went downstairs to find some breakfast, which i found was provided for free by the hostel which was a nice surprise!

Whilst i was having my breakfast i planned what i wanted to do in Bangkok and where i was going to go today and …

Na onze eerste hectische dag in BKK hebben we het de tweede dag een stuk rustiger aan gedaan. Onder het gezoom van de Airco 's ochtends eerst lekker liggen lezen.

Om 12:00 had ik afgesproken met een jongen die ik via Couch Surfing had gecontacteerd. Helaas bleek het coffee house 100 children cafe wat moeilijk te vinden en kwamen we pas om …

We finally made it! We left Calgary at 12:35 pm on tues afternoon, and arrived at our first hotel in Bangkok just after 1 pm wed night. Very long journey! We made it safe and sound and it is warm I tell you …

We arrived in Bangkok at 11:30 pm Thursday night. The flight was long but easy. After sailing through immigration we got a taxi to our hostel. Lanes in the road seem to be more of an option in this part of the world. The road of our hostel was quiet but we weren't ready for bed. All I wanted was some spicy Asian noodles. Walking down only a block …

The trip has started. Departing Denver at noon on Sunday the day consisted of a random walking tour of San Francisco. Appearing from the BART we are greeted by a Free Tibet rally running up and down the street with a giant picture of the none other than the Dahli Llama..(insert cadyshack joke here) . Pier 39 and a magnificent crab and mussel dinner …

... lengthly purifying rituals- so special seating means they remain unsullied if the river gets choppy. Next stop was Chinatown, a major shopping experience. A maze of stalls and warren-like shops separated by narrow alleyways, Chinatown is the place ...

Leah says: My thoughts so far of Thailand is that Bangkok has been reminiscent of India and yet the people are friendlier and not as pushy. The hustle and bustle and busyness is pretty much the same as any large 3rd world city. The weather has been ...

I arrived in Bangkok Thailand, exhausted, sick, and culture shocked. It took me one week, two Thai massages and four days on the island of Ko Chang to regain my composure. My first night out in Bangkok, I was treated to dinner at an Irish pub with ...

... we should go. He didn't try and sell a ride on his Tuk Tuk as he suggested using the boats and he said "Welcome to Bangkok, welcome to Thailand" as we walked away from him; his grin left me with a feeling of guilt. We had got so used to people trying to ...

... was worth every penny! - As I walked from the station a guy stopped me to talk to him, at which point he offered to show me Chinatown and Indiatown, on his way home - and I thought why not? - Had an excellent tour, which I would not have found on my ...

... street converted the raw goods into beautiful arrangements for sale out front. Back on the boat, we made our way to Chinatown.  The streets were choked with the usual traffic and the sidewalks were unbelievably narrow due to the plethora of ...

... walked down to the river instead, and took the Chao Praya River Ferry all the way down to the end of its run south of Chinatown, and then took it back up and had lunch in Thonburi, across the river from the Banglamphu / Khao San Road area. After lunch ...

... for some reason...A testament to the power of the human brain I guess? We finished off the evening with a nice driving tour of Chinatown and--surprise, surprise--Khao San Rd, which Tii confirmed as a very trendy place for Thais to go and hang out. Go ...

... was not as easy as it sounds, as Bangkok does not always label its streets or have accurate maps. Eventually we were able to find Chinatown and the 'Thieves market' and negotiated some good deals on cds and t-shirts ( to replace 1 of the 3 we have been ...
