What a Wonderful World.......27th May 2011
This is a top pick! In the words of Lennon and McCartney it’s been a 'long and winding road’ I’ve travelled since stepping foot in the ancient Inca capital of Cusco, Peru back in September 2010. I have travelled thousands of miles across 5 continents, ...
Day 88, Pt.1: The Aftermath
This is a top pick! I woke up drenched, shirtless in the sand, having deployed said shirt as a makeshift pillow and splattered with Unknown Liquid at some point while I slept. Not slept actually, half-hearted nap is more like it. I looked around, Jeff was nowhere to be ...
Thai Time...
This is a top pick! ... walks and afternoons on the beach. Last night we went out for a seafood barbecue which is really popular on all the Thailand Islands, every restaurant displaying there daily catches in front in a boat display usually with the fish surrounded in ice, you ...
Messing about on the river
This is a top pick! After spending all day in bed yesterday, suffering 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 ...
Chiang Mai - Up North
This is a top pick! ... ( a sunday) was spent wandering around the weekend market which has brilliant food and craft stalls. This is how I expected Chiang Mai to be, charming and interesting. I guess nowhere in Thailand can escape the inevitable effects of mass tourism. ...
Bars, Beaches, Buddhas & Ladyboys - 6 May - 21 May
This is a top pick! ... concentrating on the southern part, the north part is undeveloped…but for how long I wonder. I must admit before coming to Thailand I never realised Phuket was an island I just assumed it was a beach resort on the mainland. It is however the ...
Ao Nang
This is a top pick! ... The time has come to move on, we've had an amazing time in Thailand but just recently we've been dying to feel intrepid again. Thailand offers a hedonistic blur of beaches and bars but has sold its soul in many ways. I want to find places a little more ...
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 ...
A New Year, and a new country
This is a top pick! ... of the guest house was gorgeous, in the foreground the sleepy border town of Huay Xai, in the background a small river crossing and Thailand :) I also had some good news to find out that the Christmas presents i had sent home to my family had ...
Oh-man we're in Bangkok (Claire hates this title)
This is a top pick! ... bout 4 years ago and no one in Englnd likes them) songs also playing loudly on the TV overhead its quite the introduction to Thailand. We go to bed very happy to be here and excited to meet our tour group tommorrow! 31st August: Claire jumps straight ...
Day 84: Roast Crickets & The Cargo Ship
This is a top pick! ... The ferry ride was pleasant enough but arrived in Krabi too late to catch a cross-isthmus bus to the other coast. Geographical lesson: Thailand has two main island paradise coasts: the Andaman Sea, home to Phi Phi, Phuket, and "007 Island," and the Gulf ...
Giving Thanks for Life Abroad Part Deux
This is a top pick! ... It's true I live in a crime scene filled with ants- but the chalk serves its purpose well. The Council for National Security, Thailand's current government reported that it will be lifting Martial Law in more than half of the country's 76 provinces - ...
Day 86: The Sweatiest I've Ever Been
This is a top pick! ... in a park featuring a local Thai rock band. Their music sounded vaguely Latino and helped add to an overall impression of South Thailand being the sort of "Mexico of Asia." Also present was a chubby balding old white man lost in a hopeless stupor who ...
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 ...
Thai Cuisine - The Spice of Life
This is a top pick! ... , Oh well, the pad thai looked good! Bringing me to the concept of outdoor cooking. Not all, but mostly all, kitchens in Thailand are outside. I gather there are a few reasons for this. For starters, it is a tropical climate thus being hot and humid ...
Bangkok 'Living the Thai Life' - 28 April - 5 May
This is a top pick! ... after Rama II ascended the throne. The 94,000 sqm compound encompasses over 100 buildings and is quite simply stunning. This is Thailand’s most important and sacred temple. It houses a tiny Emerald Buddha…well it’s actually made out of ...
The Venice of Thailand
This is a top pick! We got up on the friday morning at 4.15am (Not much time for lie ins this week.) We were picked up at 4.45am and were on our way to the World famous floating markets just north of Bangkok.( www.thailandguidebook.com/floatingmarket ) We arrived about ...
Busy Bangkok
This is a top pick! ... very hot and humid and it makes me wonder how on earth I coped last time in India for 6 weeks? Our arrival into Thailand was somewhat unexpected with airport hiccups seemingly a recurring theme of this trip so far. We left Kelly and Anthony´s ...
Royal Flora with a French and a Scottsman
This is a top pick! ... celebrations of His Majesty's Accession to the Throne in 2006 and the 80th Birthday of His Majesty the King of Thailand in 2007. Perfectly manicured lawns and beds of colorful flowers create an appeasing setting tainted by sausage stands and ice ...
Somewhere over SE Asia
This is a top pick! Technology is mesing with the flow of this travelogue! Most of my time so far has been on planes or subsumed by the IBM Project That Won't Go Away, so sorry for these odd iPod-transmitted posts. I'm now en route for Delhi via Bangkok. I spent my morning ...
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 ...
Ciao Ciao Chiang Mai
This is a top pick! ... and it is the most beautiful thing I can take away from having been a part of this community of NGO's in Northern Thailand. I fondly recall winter nights around the fire with the girls singing old anti-communist songs, cooking western food for our Thai ...
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 ...
How Not To Get To Malaysia
This is a top pick! ... spend all our remaining Thai Currency on snacks before we were again on our way, heading for the south west border crossing. We walked from Thailand to Malaysia, as we have found that this is more fun and less hassle than trying to get a bus or taxi or ...
The Bustle of Bangkok
This is a top pick! ... Buddah. Sitting atop a golden altar, the diminutive figure is always cloaked in royal robes reflecting one of the three seasons of Thailand. As I walked inside Wat Phra Kaew, it was not so much the Buddah that intrigued me, buttThe sounds of those praying ...
Bright lights of Bangkok
This is a top pick! An Air India farce From Kathmandu we flew to Bangkok, via Delhi, for our next leg around S.E Asia, and we were clearly reminded why, environmental implications apart, we hated flying. We were flying Indian Airlines / Air India who, it seems, can’t ...
Ko Tao - Beach Life!
This is a top pick! The bus/boat trip from Bangkok to Ko Tao was pretty uneventful, surprising considering dodgy transport has become a recurring theme on our trip, the VIP bus runs overnight and despite hearing all the horror-stories regarding being drugged and the ...
Delhi belly in Bangkok
This is a top pick! So after arriving on the train in the wee hours of the morning, we waited till a travel place opened 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 ...
Luang prabang to Chiang Mai, Thailand
This is a top pick! The original plan when we came to Chiang Mai was to only stay for a week; however, we ended up staying for two and half weeks. So, here are the highlights of our time there. On arriving at our destination it became clear that Nic was not well, ...
Day 82: Battered & Drained, We Find Heaven...
This is a top pick! The journey to paradise: 14 hours had passed since we first boarded that Singaporean sleeper bus the night before. I woke up uncomfortable and sweating like a dog, having long since forgotten what it feels like to have a sore-free butt. There was ...
