Khao San Road Bangkok

So we got done with the suits and the TAT, and decided to take a boat to the Tha Tien stop, to go do the Thonburi walking tour.

We saw Wat Pho. I had already seen it the day before with the Cali Crew, so I didnt need to take any pictures again.

Then we continued to walk around the Grand Palace, where the King used to live and also …

We arrived in Bangkok in the evening. After being in Vietnam and Cambodia for a couple of weeks it was surprising to see how modern the airport was. We arranged a taxi and headed to our resort (driving on the left side of the road). On the way into the heart of the city it was neat to see all of the skyscrapers. The hotel was nice and was located …

Apologies for the lack of updates everyone, to make up for it, here's some fun facts.

The population of Thigh Land is 63 million people, it's twice the size of Wyoming.

It's also incredible.

Bangkok has to be the craziest place we've been to so far. We've strolled into the city during Thai New Year. In Bangkok, we're in …

My first impressions of Bangkok were that it was incredibly humid and extremely busy; our hotel was on Khao San road possibly the busiest road in Bangkok!! Trying to manoeuvre round people, mopeds, street vendors and cars was to say the least stressful whilst carrying a heavy rucksack.............and this was my hand luggage rucksack, oh yes I …

So after finally finding the hostel i decided to head out on a wander today, being a backpacker i headed to the obvious point for all backpackers in Bangkok, the infamous Khao San Road.

It is quite incredible what you can buy here, ive seen everything on sale, from counterfeit british driving licenses and fake university degrees to odd …

Arrived safely - lush flight, with lovely plane food (hot breakfast and lamb pot for any interested - i love the plane food!). It flew by, literally, I was sound asleep in the window seat and Chris had to avoid falling on to the woman next to him.

Getting to the city centre wasn't as easy. After finding out that the direct bus was …

Phew! well we've arrived!

After an uneventful bus journey and flight we arrived in Bangkok yesterday afternoon.
First impressions of Thailand?? crazy. crazy and more crazy. Today we went to Chinatown on the river boat, the most amazing markets I have ever seen, all the weirdest foods I didn't even recognize, from sea slugs to deep …

Making the most of the 'free' buffet we gorged ourselves at breakfast and after thirds or fourths headed our to attempt a lonely planet dictated walking tour. Predictably within a couple of minutes we lost the route but found some great spots to visit. First was a walk up the Golden Mount with views over the city, and some slightly awkward bell …

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 …

...  llamas to monkeys, seals and sealions. I've chilled out on beautiful beaches, drank beer in the infamous Khao San Road, watched lady boys promote their show and seen a multitude of golden Buddhas in magnificent temples. All these experiences ...

Most visitors to Bangkok will head straight for Khao San Road, it's plain mad. By day the street is lined with vendors selling the best knock-offs you'll find and they're not expensive at all. By night it's lined with dodgy makeshift bars displaying ...

... nbsp; We eventually found something clean and spacious at the Green House in the section of Soi Rambuttri parallel to Khao San Road.  Ross convinced Lauren that it was best to try to forego air-con in order to save some money and get ...

... drinks instead!?!) As we had chosen to stay in an alternative backpacker location, we felt obliged to see the infamous Khao San Road (where Alex Garland's The Beach begins). The eclectic mix of the weird and wonderful was certainly on show! ...

... the first time we came here. Oh yes we've got this hotel thing sussed now. 10mins walk from Khao San Road and the backpacker hubbub. We'd got to Bangkok on the Sunday so we could go to the Chatuchuck Weekend Market. It is perhaps the biggest market ...

... who ever had cornrows who didn't look repellent was Bo Derek and even then it was offensive. While walking down Khao San Road I passed about two fistfuls of morons shamelessly sitting right out in the open while young Thai girls tightly braided their ...

... laundry done, having showers (my hair is clean again!), enjoying Thai food and doing some last-minute shopping along Khao San Road. We noted that there were still some posters of people who were missing from the tsunami posted in various restaurants ...

... 't actually slept in it, because it's so hard I can't!!!! We are staying in the street parallel to the infamous Khao San Road which is enormously touristy with pubs and clubs and stalls and touts everywhere. We booked our bus ticket for tomorrow to ...

... beautiful! The Palace had some amazing topiary, monks and some guards in suitably silly dress. Stomachs rumbling we set of to Khao San Road, the place to be for backpackers. It was really odd being around so many white faces again, we though were ...

... you" and I really detest that. It's like me saying to you, "God I hope that the Pham Ngu Lao doesn't turn into KSR (Khao San Road) and loose all its charm -- that would be dreadful." Now if truth be told it really would be dreadful because I love the ...
