Travel Blogs from Thailand
We're going to the beach!
This is a top pick! DOMINIQUE HERE: Day : 178 Temperature : 30 degrees Weather : Hazy sunshine, cloudy afternoons We didn't know what to expect coming to Ko Yao Noi. From what we've heard Phuket is heaving with tourists and the beaches in Krabi are now covered in rows of ...
Talc Beaches & tattoos and the Shots can't lose!
This is a top pick! ... really needed to go to a proper clinic with real doctors for his disease on his back as some of the 'professionals' in Thailand were nothing more than a glorified shop assistant that just happened to work in a pharmacy. The first doctor we saw took one ...
Simple Pleasures at Simple Life
This is a top pick! I have caught up, but it's only really by cheating. I have managed to buy us an extra day, by making sure I didn't have anything additional to write for today's exploits - making my job a lot simpler to catch up. The reason we haven't done anything ...
B-B-B-Bangkok
This is a top pick! Well, since we last wrote we indeed partied. When they say "free drinks" at ladies night in HK, they really mean free drinks! The boys were paying 5pounds/pint and we were paying.. nothing.. for anything. Oh my. We of course did not drink too many of ...
Ow you bar-steward
This is a top pick! We decided to take a trip around the 5 islands, including a trip to the Emerald cave. We were up for a spot of snorkelling, nice lazy lunch on the boat before heading back into Koh Lanta. We had a bit of a splish splash, spotting numerous fish in their ...
PHUK ET
This is a top pick! So we got up early to head to Phuket, the ferry was quite uneventful and same same. Got a minibus to Kata beach to try and find somewhere to stay. We deliberately chose Kata beach as oppose to the lively party beach of Patong as we thought a couple of ...
Little Fish and Big Cats
This is a top pick! DOMINIQUE HERE: Day : 186 Temperature : 32 degrees Weather : Scattered clouds Wow, wow, wow! What a great day! Where do I begin? Kevin decided that he would have a common "treatment" here in Bangkok.....the "fish massage". This is essentially a big fish ...
More than one night in Bangkok
This is a top pick! He Said: A short flight from Langkawi brought us to the Thai capital of Bangkok. Forget any illusions you might have about Bangkok being exotic and mysterious. Maybe it once was, but now is very much a pulsing, sprawling, modern metropolis, complete ...
The Land of Smiles
This is a top pick! "The Land of Smiles" is to the best of my knowledge something cooked up by the Tourism Association of Thailand and is used quite often as a moniker for those in the know and is now bastardized even worse by the pretentious who type "LOS" in message boards ...
Time to get back on the road
This is a top pick! Its nice to be caught up. It finally gives me a chance to write in the here and now and not having to remember back. Its been about 4 weeks since I've been able to do that. Sitting on the balcony of our room in the Simple Life Resort I've turned on the ...
From The Rubber Triangle to The Golden Triangle
This is a top pick! ... France and Germany combined; from its headwaters in the Tibetan mountains, it runs through the Yunnan province of China, Burma, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia. The Mekong is second to that of the Amazon River, in its diversity of plant and animal ...
Phuket - and some 5 star living
This is a top pick! AAAAANnnnnnnd Reeeelax......Haaaaaaaaaaa Oh My God ! this is living we could definitely get used to. We arrived at the airport and took a taxi to the flagship JW Marriott and Marriott Beach Club Resort. On entering the lobby we were ...
Krabi
This is a top pick! ... food freshly and pathetically cheap on the streets, a bit like hot dog vendors but you at least know what you get in Thailand!) We ate heartily, trying some fried mussles. Johanna, a VEGAN was persuaded to try the mussles. Once she said you have to ...
happy birthday to me!!
This is a top pick! July 1 As I write this we are on the 'high speed ferry' (and that's debatable) heading to Penang, Malaysia. Our Indonesian visas expire tomorrow...US citizens get one month to be here...which is hardly enough to fully explore this extensive chain ...
The Long Haul Back to Bangkok
This is a top pick! ... ? Oh, this one looks nicer and it's this bus, yes? Excellent. And this bus will be waiting for me after I cross the border into Thailand, yes? Great. So, how long is this going to take? Ten hours? So, if the bus leaves at 8:00a.m. I will be in Bangkok ...
Doi Suthep- Part III: Being Hungry
This is a top pick! The meals at Wat Phra That Doi Suthep are simple but good. At 6:30 a.m., we have breakfast, which usually consists of some flat or transparent noodles in broth with lots of green vegetables. Lunch, which is served at 11:00 a.m., is centered ...
Doi Suthep- Part XIV: Leaving the Mountaintop
This is a top pick! At half past three in the morning, on my last sleepless night at Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, I carefully crept up the mountainside to sit in the temple before the throngs of tourists arrived. This had become ...
Doi Suthep- Part V: Dreaming
This is a top pick! Dreaming, they say, is the mind's playground. At Doi Suthep, where I don't even allow my mind the luxury of getting up and stretching its legs during the day, dreaming becomes more like Disneyworld, a rollicking and ...
My attempt at Thai cooking
This is a top pick! ... sweet "Masaman Curry" the first time we came through Bangkok and we have been back many times since. So with little time left in Thailand and a desire to take a Thai cooking class, I signed up. I met May this morning to go to the market with her for ...
Scooters Save Lives
This is a top pick! "What you got?" -- Rebel Without A Cause Khanon is a small town on the east coast of Thailand, just south of Surat Thani (the main port town for jumping to the holy trinity of Kho's Tao, Pha-Ngan and Samui) and managing to be thoroughly off the ...
Ready for Doi Suthep
This is a top pick! I slept in this morning....until 6:00 am, that is. I had some great kao sawy at Daret's last night, walked around the Night Bazaar for a while, got an awesome 30-minute foot massage ($5 USD!), and plopped down in my bed around 11pm. In about ...
Election day
This is a top pick! Today the Kingdom of Thailand goes to the polls, and as a consequence many shops and businesses have shut down for the day. This election has almost become a referendum on Thaksin, the current hugely unpopular PM, and with passions running high if he ...
Doi Suthep- Part VI: Practicimitation
This is a top pick! ... --------------------------------------------------------- Bangkok Times January 8, 2008 Man Reaches Enlightenment in Under A Week! Doi Suthep, Thailand: In a startling development that has rocked the religious community, Buddhist monks at ...
Back in Chiang Mai
This is a top pick! Well....hello there and greetings from beautiful and sunny Thailand! I completed my 21-day foundation course in vipassana meditation at Wat Phra That Doi Suthep this morning and arrived back in Chiang Mai a few hours ago. It was an amazing ...
Day One: Bangkok
This is a top pick! ... pointed out the window down the street. "You see man with elephant? Pharmacy behind elephant, OK? Bye-bye, welcome to Thailand, OK?" I walk for hours more in my new neighborhood, invigorated, astonished, and slack-jawed by everything. The jet ...
Thailand from top to bottom........
This is a top pick! ... Pass. The whole railway was built in the Second World War by the Allies and local labourers, under Japanese command, to link Thailand to Burma through dense forests and jungle. Thousands of men died building it and there is a memorial museum near Hellfire ...
Mae Hong Son
This is a top pick! ... I've been relaxing for the past few days. It's a neat little town of about 8,000 residents in Northern Thailand, only a thirty-minute flight from Chiang Mai and just south of Myanmar's border. The population here is ...
Boat Trip Around Island
This is a top pick! A one hour car ride south to the pier at the town of Ban Phe and a 45 minute boat ride landed us on the island of Ko Samet. This place is close enough to be a quick escape for locals from Bangkok, to be able to hit the beach for the weekend. The ...
