Cette journée était l'occasion de visiter Bangkok avec un guide cette fois. Au matin j'ai visité le Grand Palace et le Buddha d'émeraude, le plus vénéré aujourd'hui. Pantalon obligatoire pour entrer, avec 35 degrés et une humidité énorme, j'ai sué comme un bœuf sous un soleil de plomb, t-shirt trempé avec mon sac à dos. Le palace est …

Saw a rare sight today....the sun!!!....was great to get the legs out & flip flops on.... Did a bit of touristy stuff today - first we met Mr Com & he took on his James Bond boat (apparently 1 of these style boats featured in a Bond film) down the klongs (canals) which was really interesting, lots to see and saw some great sights - a few …

Y llegamos a Bangkok a la tarde de un día de semana…se notaba que era semana porque estaba tan llena de autos como la avenida más ocupada de Santiago…llena hasta los topes... y con un terminal de buses horrible, propio de toda gran urbe.

El hostel que habíamos reservado estaba cerca de ese terminal, pero no tanto para irse a " …

Hi everyone.
We've become really sucky on writing to our english speaking friends the last couple of years so we thought we'd try a new thing called "A Blog". Riveting stuff!
It'll be fairly brief, to start anyway, but we'll see where it goes.

So, we're back in Bangkok again. Most of you might have picked up on the fact that we …

I arrived in Bangkok after the most pleasant short haul flight from Singapore. This was in stark contrast to the majority of my fellow Real Gap travellers who I met at the airport who had just flown in from the UK and were definitely feeling the effects. The first 'Hello's and conversations were just as predictable as expected (I mean, who is up …

Today is a roaster!

We get a meterde taxi to the Khao San Road for brunch.
Again, it is great for people watching. We feel slightly old watching all the backpackers making their way through the Khao San Road.
All through the holiday I have been making a list of movies I must see as a result of this trip - Apocolypse Now, Good …

... the book only forwards instead of backwards and forwards, we'd have had a miserable time. There were even signs posted around the Royal Palace warning "BEWARE WILY STRANGERS", "Don't trust locals who offer boat ride, Lucky Buddha, or tailor shop", or the ...

Rewinding again back to the 28th, following our walk around the Royal Palace/Old Town and evasion of the touts, we took a bus + subway to Lumphini Park in hopes of catching a boxing match. As we exited the subway, we asked a lady running one of the food ...

... it's something like 25 metres. Bit gaudy for my taste but the architecture was amazing. Next port of call was the royal palace- I certainly saved the best til last. It was stunning, decorated with really intricate mosaics. Lots were ceramic, which ...

... bad nights sleep which was very hot, and, well cockroachy. We packed up and headed out for our rather expensive trip around the royal palace, gardens and the siver pagoda. It was a really nice and peaceful morning. We thought we had seen the king, who ...
