Travel Blogs from Thailand
Goodbye Pai!
This is a top pick! Good morning! I'm back after a fantastic few days exploring Pai in Northern Thailand. By the time I arrived in Pai, my sinus infection was history and although I was still licking my wounds from the now-infamous motor scooter debacle, my ego ...
Slow boat on the Mekong
This is a top pick! From Louang Prahbang, its possible to travel to Thailand by taking a boat upstream along the Mekong River. From other travellers we hear that the boat trip is a highlight of their time in Laos, so we buy a couple of tickets for 170,000 Kip (GBP 9.00) each ...
Big shop in Tesco
This is a top pick! We've got no plans, we've just got to Bangkok and we've got no idea what we're going to do. So we go to Tesco. Tesco Lotus to be exact, and the first Tesco Lotus Extra to open in Bangkok. It's exactly like Tesco at home but with a little Lotus sign and ...
Lady boys, and little tops
This is a top pick! Well we have arrived in Thailand, third country on the list and thank god it's warm again! The biggest shock when we arrived was it was 31 degrees at 7pm and everyone was walking around naked! Well not naked but compared to India and China they were and ...
Flip Flop Fever
This is a top pick! So next leg on our perpetual lazy drunken run, was down to the island of ko tao, which we booked before my tattoo, when we still could have dived, but the mills (should 'mills' be in quotation, or is that to much third person) wasn't allowed in the ...
Back in Bangkok
This is a top pick! ... four seats, I am now back in the capitol. My ten day visa extension expires tomorrow so as much as I'd like to stay in Thailand a few more days (to do some more diving in Koh Toa) I have to make arrangements to leave tonight. You are not allowed to ...
Anti-gravity geckos
This is a top pick! Hello! Just writing a quick hi before I find food (the smell of curry from next door is appealing....). Can't believe I'm actually here! After years of boring everyone about how I want to travel.... I've been watching lizards running up the wall. ...
Back in BKK
This is a top pick! For the whole time I had been back I had been telling C that we we're flying to Bangkok on he same day but that I hadn't been able to get the same flight as her when I booked last minute from Laos. But it was just a fun trick so I surprised her at the ...
I wish it could be christmas every day
This is a top pick! ... 7 of us squashed in a motor bike rikshaw going to a different bar at 10 miles an hour. We toasted the New Year in Australia and Thailand but could not quite make it for the UK at 7am! Hope you all had a great New Years and wishing good things for 2006 ...
Bangkok by any mode of transportation
This is a top pick! I fly into Bangkok by cover of night and surface from customs around 5:30am. I grab the bus downtown as the sun rises in east and get a great overview of the city on the way in. The infrastructure is absolutely impressive by any ...
Day 68, Pt.1: "Beware Wily Strangers"
This is a top pick! I'm going to rewind for a little bit back to the "Dark Knight" IMAX watching, 'cause I forgot an important detail of the screening. At the end of the pre-movie commercials, the audience stood up with their hands on their hearts and a very slick, almost ...
Day 68, Pt.2: Man & Woman Makelove
This is a top pick! Rewinding again back to the 28th, following our walk around the Royal Palace/Old Town and evasion of the touts, we took a bus + subway to Lumphini Park in hopes of catching a boxing match. As we exited the subway, we asked a lady running one of the food ...
"Salad Beach Resort"
This is a top pick! From the pier a 1 hour "fast ferry" to our next stop moving south, the island of Koh Pha-Ngan. Found a great resort from the people at the pier and took a taxi to "Salad Beach Resort" at Haad Salad ...
leaving SE Asia
This is a top pick! After travelling through Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos, we came full circle and arrived back in Bangkok. After roughing it for the past two months, we were ecstatic to be staying at the luzurious Westin Grande in Bangkok. Ironically, it was the ...
One night in Bangkok...
This is a top pick! ... in (100B for a dorm bed) and walked down to where the demonstrations are being held against Mr Taksin, the current Priminister for Thailand. My timing could not have been better - I arrived just in time to witness a stand off between the Thai Chief of ...
Back to Bangkok
This is a top pick! ... we decided to check out what sort of medical facilities Bangkok had to offer. I had heard rumors about the glories of Thailand's private medical system-- that this is a global center for transsexual operations and the like. Well I wasn't going that ...
Phi Phi - Thai new year (Songkran)
This is a top pick! We weren't aware that we would be celebrating two new years when we set out, but here we are in Phi Phi and it's Songkran (Thai new year). Essentially, the Thai people (and everyone else) drench each other in water for a day or two; water ...
Thailand - Overview
This is a top pick! ... over a misunderstanding about the variety of sweet chilli sauce used! It is disgusting, if not embarrassing, to see. Thailand's popularity is simply that it offers a convenient package (far from as cheap as everyone pretends). ...
The Beach
This is a top pick! ... a few hours this morning so we headed to Tescos to get breakfast. Bread isn't something as tasty nor as freely available in Thailand compared to Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. We bought some freshly bake croissants, a jar of jam and a little magnetic game of ...
Hammock life
This is a top pick! The ride to the island was amazing. After Nepali and Indian buses it was overwhelming, and I was almost moved to tears. Picture it: a huge bus, with enormous, padded chairs that fully reclined. Only 10 people in the bus. They showed a movie. There was ...
Chiang to-the Mai baby
This is a top pick! ... the pictures taken so they can show them to the future generations and say: "Yeah, when I was a wild child backpacking in Thailand..." Anyway, we stumbled off the train and not two seconds later were assaulted by a woman I like to call Admiral ...
Trekking in Northern Thailand
This is a top pick! Chiang Mai is Thailand's second city, but it has a 20 times lower population than the capital Bangkok, giving it a small-town relaxed feeling. Chiang Mai has many attractions including some beautiful temples and monasteries. We take some time to wander ...
We're 'very bad' in Haad Salad!
This is a top pick! ... the boats that pass in and out of the bay, which is a real shame but unfortunately not the first time we've seen it in Thailand. The funniest part of our 2 days there was when we passed an ultra-pricey resort with a fantastic pool. We were both hot and ...
Bears, Boxing and Bald heads
This is a top pick! ... Danny the next day and spent the night there before taking the million hour night train to Penang in Malaysia. So farewell Thailand its been fun maybe see you again soon but hello Malaysia and your new sewage system, ringgits and hairdressers.... Take ...
Andrew, don't you dare flip this sea-doo
This is a top pick! After Ko Lanta we decided to go to Ko Samui, which would give us the option of hopping islands to Ko Phangan for the full moon party if we decided to later on. Getting to Samui wasn't too bad but did take a while. 7am departure from our lodge in Lanta, ...
City of Wats
This is a top pick! ... shake). This morning I am feeling a little better but still not up to trekking for hours in the hills of Northern Thailand. After some Rambutans for breakfast I went looking for another place to stay. The Moonlight Guest House is very nice but my ...
Anaconda!
This is a top pick! ... a half as they walked downstream. it wasn't that comfortable, but it didn't really matter considering we were riding elephants in Thailand! After that exciting moment we met up with our bamboo raft and rafted the rest of the way down the river. Bee ...
Tales from tropical wonderland
This is a top pick! We have just spent a fantastic 10 days holidaying on a tropical island with Phil and Wendy (friends from home) and had the laziest but best time! Just to backtrack first...we had a brush with fame at Beijing International Airport before flying to ...
From KL to KL by air water and road
This is a top pick! ... we liked so much in Singapore. The flight leaves on time, and it takes us a short ower to get to Krabi international airport in Thailand. We had a Scandinavian couple with the brain the size of a shrimp in front of us. The woman did not seem to understand ...
Day 88 Pt.2: Back to the Mainland
This is a top pick! ... looking tin cans from the Cold War these things were; I would not want to be an overnight passenger in the 3rd class section. Thailand is still a developing country and it was nice that they even had a semi-reliable train system at all, so I can't ...
