The last four days and so much excitement
Sunday 24th October We arrived in Bangkok 7 hours late, the reasons for this are described below. Bangkok is a mixture of the very modern and some very poor bits, not my style however we shall return when we have more time. We have had a nice tour this ...
Touch-down Bangkok
13 hours later we landed in Bangkok, a short hold up on the runway as we allowed a couple of golfers with their caddies to cross the tarmac onto their next tee. We can feel the heat already as the planes doors are opened and we take our first steps as ...
Bangkok - City of Rims
After an arduous journey of 11.5 hours, of incessant babbling by an OAP aussie woman sat next to me, the relative silence of immigration was very welcome. After extensive debate (about what I have no idea... they could have been discussing whether the ...
I'll be back
... the city. Gotta wait a few hours till i head for my 11 hour flight to london. Just a few random thoughts about Thailand. -If you come to Bankok, under no circumstances take a taxi or listen to anyone who walks up to you at a temple. Get taxis everywhere ...

Up in the air
Am aboard the QF1 on my way to Bangkok with a greater goal of reaching London. Am not quite halfway into the journey yet, but it's been a nice flight so far - fairly smooth, good inflight entertainment, finished an ok book, a lovely meal of braised ...
So Long and Thanks For All the Fish!!
Today will be the last post from Asia... wow. So seeing as how the Khaosan epitomizes the backpacker brigade lifestyle (at least the conformist sheep poser backpackers), I've decided to comment on this place of wonder and uniformity. Tom Robbins says ...

In the land of Thais
Well we are here, another adventure! They say that 'Freedom is a road seldom traveled by the multitude' but in Bankok it is like their version of the concrete jungle. The food is excellent here but I found this city very hard to get around. ...

Starting out...
... it was hardly cool. IN fact there were no windows and it felt very much like a prison cell. Perhaps this is the true 'Bankok Hilton'... But what could we do, so we settled down for an awful night on rock hard mattresses and pillows that felt like little ...

Bankok and Autyathaua
... nice. There was supposed to be a max. of 12, but i'd say we got our moneys worth since there are only 6 of us ! In Thailand, a foreigner cannot do tours alone so we will have a Thai guide with us wherever we go. I think that is great b/c then we get ...
