Sky Bar, Bangkok

We wake up around 9 and stumble down for breakfast. Now that we feel a bit better, we take a taxi to Siam Square and Sukhumvit with only one thing on our minds... SHOPPING!

We start off at a luxury mall with shops like Chanel and Versace it's a great place for buying nice outfits, but not so suitable for the bargain shopping everyone told …

For our final night in Bangkok, we decided to head to the ritzy hotel area of the city. After convincing the boys that yes they wanted to put on dress shirts and closed toed shoes in the 90 degrees humid weather to see an amazing view, we jumped on the river taxi around sunset and headed to Sky Bar. The bar rests sixty-four floors above Bangkok at …

After eventually showing up at the right terminal, I ended up with a free upgrade to business class for the first leg of my journey, Manchester - Dubai, which was a great way to start my trip. unfortunately the luxury didn't last long and I was packed back into economy for the next flight.

I arrived in Bangkok and the first thing that …

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 …

We woke late and had to rush to pack so as not to incur a fine. What's worse is that we (I) didn't book the Novotel, so we had to go to I Residence hotel in Silom. The taxi ride took 30 mins and cost 200 Baht, the meter went off as we entered the cab.

On arrival we were upgraded to a junior suite on the 9th floor. Including internet ( …

Early start this morning to make sure we could do all the temples in time setting my alarm for 7am waking me and half the hostel up!

Arriving by Tuk Tuk we arrived at the Temple of the Emerald Buddha. Its amazing. So much detail has gone into the temples with tiny jems and mirrors coating the buildings. We then walked to the reclining …

We arrived in Bangkok at 4am in the morning and my friend Kiri had to get a taxi to catch her flight at 10am. We had a bit of a panic with her flights when she realised that she booked it to early and had to rush around trying to sort things out but she managed to catch another flight so all was fine in the end! I really wasnt up for doing much as …

What a mad place. Crazy drivers, nutty tuk-tuk pilots, dodgy food stalls and ridiculous heat. Thank god we could take a break from it all at the nice pool in the hotel …

October 29th: very early wildlife safari to Khao Yai Natural park. We were looping at some fresh elephant ****, when a bull elephant rushed our of the bush, not more than 5 mt from us, scaring the hell out of one of our guides. We saw some deers, monkeys, leguans and a flock of Hornbills. Afterwards we travelled to Bangkok! Drinks at Skybar and …

A busy day visiting the Floating market, River Kwai and Tiger temple.

At the market we were taken around in a paddle boat, while the locals sit on the embankments of the canal and try to sell their goods. They have metal poles with hooks which pull the boats into the side so they can go for the hard sell! It was really interesting and …
