Messing about on the river
This is a top pick! ... from a peanut-induced stomach upset, I dragged myself out of my nice air conditioned hotel room to explore the sticky steets of Bangkok. This time, I was determined to avoid tuk tuks and was armed with a much better map. I decided that the most ...
In Search of the Lucky Buddha
This is a top pick! ... . The view from here is breathtaking. Between the decorative roofs of the Temples are the homes of the working class of Thailand. The differences between the opulence and simplicity is extreme. In search of the Golden Buddha we came back down ...
Bangkok Hilton
This is a top pick! ... !! A good old KFC again....can't beat it! My healthy eating has gone right out of the window - today I had a doughnut for breakfast!! Bangkok Day 1 We made our way to the grand palace to look around, but was told by someone official looking that it was ...
Bangkok - Part one
This is a top pick! ... nbsp;but stay away from the elephants etc, it's just plain cruel. We have had a couple of great nights so far, Thailand is definately a good place to meet other travellers easily, it was much harder in Vietnam. Thai food blows all other ...
Tour for Thai friend
This is a top pick! ... you have someone to speak the language. She hadn't been there since she was a kid. Only had vague memories of Thailand's most important cultural sights. It was a treat to see her eyes light up. Her appreciation was obviously a ...

Ooh! Alcohol...
This is a top pick! With no sleep since Dharamasala two days before, I found myself on the airport bus to Khao Sahn road. Though I was very happy to be heading away from India, I was not looking forward to Khao Sahn, and was planning to leave for an island as quickly as ...
Bangkok 'Living the Thai Life' - 28 April - 5 May

Busy Bangkok
This is a top pick! 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 very ...
Somewhere over SE Asia
This is a top pick! ... to be just the sidekick this trip's title suggests, I'm really excited by the promise of collaboration. We're just approaching Bangkok. After announcing it's a balmy 33C outside, the captain goes on to say Delhi passengers have to stay in the plane for ...
Crouching Tiger.. not so hidden elephant
This is a top pick! ... but we decided to follow him and take him up on his offer of free entry and 100 Baht (just under 2 quid) for a drink... expensive in Thailand but we decided it was fine seeing as we didn't have to pay entry. We were let into a seedy little club with ...
All roads lead to Bangkok
This is a top pick! ... way again. So, here we are in Bangkok- again, enjoying a 24 hour lay-over before heading up to Chiang Mai (north of thailand) tonight. Our week in Siem Reap was really wonderful.... one not soon to be forgotten. We wrote last that we had been invited ...
The Bustle of Bangkok
This is a top pick! 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 ...
Culture Shock in Bangkok

Delhi belly in Bangkok
This is a top pick! ... up. When one did we booked a minivan/taxi combo to Siem Reap in Cambodia leaving the next day. So we had a day to kill in Bangkok and we ended up doing it in rather unspectacular fashion as I proceeded to be violently ill for the rest of the day, so I ...
Bang! Bang! in Bangkok - days 39 to 48
This is a top pick! ... , though, making-up for the let-down. We needed to escape our boredom, so needed to escape Bangkok, and indeed Thailand entirely given the unrest being released in other provincial cities. We could have taken one of the numerous ...
Bright lights of Bangkok
This is a top pick! ... It was vibrant and lively, but we returned to our hotel across town glad to be able to retreat. Getting around the Bangkok at street-level was interesting but tiring, in part due to the 80% humidity and 35’C heat. The carriageways were ...
Lingering in Limbo
This is a top pick! ... have their work cut out for them if they came to Bangkok. It seems we'd all but forgotten that we were in Thailand as our conversation was so engrossed in the politics of America and then suddenly Wendy pointed out that an elephant was walking down the ...
Bangkok, meanders of life
This is a top pick! ... this sense of belonging doing what they have always done and they do not seem to mind the rest of the crowd. Noisy, dusty Bangkok! Cars and people everywhere...and if you go on a small boat to visit the klongs, one can better witness how some people live ...
Let the Games Begin

Back to Bangkok but not for long
This is a top pick! ... very long couple games of rummy, thank god for cards!! The night bus south was a LOT worse than the one from Chiang Mai to Bangkok. There were more seats which meant less leg room and we ended up between two seats of guys, the ones in front of us jamming ...
Bangkok
This is a top pick! ... behaviour on both sides of many exchanges was disappointing to see. Sadly, such a relationship is now scarring much of Thailand. The day was rounded off with a true Kim Chrystal Shopping Frenzy! Items included: "North Face" Backpack (x1) ...
The final countdown
This is a top pick! ... for the next 4 months at least. Here goes, We got to the train station suitably early, so as not to miss a Train in Thailand again. The station was suitably empty except for a few monks and people who like us were erring on the side of timely ...
Coup de Etat
This is a top pick! ... the bar screaming, "The Communists are Coming, The Communists are Coming!" I though to myself, oh sh-t the Chinese are taking over Thailand. But, as most of you know, such was not the case. The coup occurred on Tuesday evening here in Thailand. I was ...
