Patpong Night Market Bangkok

So after having a big day yesterday we decided to have a sleep in today and this morning I slept like the dead I did not wake up until past 8 o'clock. We struggled to get ready and when we went to have breakfast we locked our key in the door. Well done you! Honestly. So we shrugged our shoulders and went to breakfast. OK the breakfast has more …

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, …

We made it to Bangkok local time 12 midnight, fairly wiped from long journey. Our ride picked us up and drove us to our guesthouse right in downtown Bangkok. We didn't sleep much, just lied there like a dog waiting for its master's next command, which for us was 6 am hot shower and breakfast downstairs. We had the entire day to decompress and …

Saya berangkat dengan pesawat pagi. Sesampainya di Suvarnabhumi Airport Bangkok, saya mencari Bangkok Airport Train City Line untuk pergi ke daerah Silom, karena HQ Hostel (hostel tempat saya menginap ada di sana). Mengapa saya mencari penginapan di Silom, dikarenakan Silom adalah tempat yang terkenal dengan kehidupan malamnya, terutama di …

Today we decided to take it easy as we are going to be out partying to the 'break of dawn' for NYE... well, not really, but we are still a bit jet-lagged. We hit the streets around 730am and went for something safe for breakfast, Starbucks, just so happens it's across the street and near the train station. And it seems that everything get's a late …

I've been to my fair share or capital cities in South East Asia but nothing had prepared me for the non-stop, 24 hour madness of Bangkok and Khao San Road!

We arrived after a very comfortable, 2 hour journey from Ayuthaya into Hualamphong Train Station in Bangkok. After reading about all the Tuk Tuk scams and violent, untrustworthy …

Our third day in Bangkok started badly. I was down with stomach ache, thanks to me being too nice and adventurous the evening before. In front of our hotel, there was a convenient store. Usually these kind of stores (like 7-eleven) will definitely have something simple for pain or simple ache. My friend was kind enough to walk across to street to …

Today I am flying from Siem Reap to Bangkok.

Lucky is at a wedding today, so his brother gives me a lift to the airport.
Pretty uneventful flight to Bangkok. Yet again I try to get some money out with my cash card, and again it gets turned down - so I change some of my remaining dollars to get the express train from Bangkok Airport …

Today Ali arrives in Bangkok, which means the accommodation standards go up and so does the daily rate of expenditure :-)

I move from the Urban Age hostel to our new accommodation for the next 3 nights, the Amari Watergate.
I stayed in this hotel almost exactly 10 years ago with David Baisley. When we arrived in the room, we found a …
