Bangkok - Day 75
This is a top pick! I arrived in Bangkok in the early hours of this morning. Headed straight to Khao San road and checked into a cheap air conditioned box room with no window. Never too bothered where I stay as long as I have a shower and a bed. Was expecting Khao San road ...
Bangkok - Day 76
This is a top pick! Visited the grand palace with its colourful ornate Buddhist temples, and moved onto Wat Pho which is where the massive reclining golden Buddha is housed. The temples in the grand palace are a bit tacky and kitche, not my kind of architecture, too fancy ...
We have arrived
This is a top pick! Hi everyone.just a quick one to let you know that have arrived to a hot and humid Bangkok. We arrived at out hotel at around 5. The room is small,hot,tasteless...well worth the 3 pounds. So far we have gone shopping along Khao san Road where everyone ...
Bangkok's Green Lung
This is a top pick! ... around all day. The small paths have mangroves on both sides and take you through sections of houses reminiscent of rural Thailand. Then we went over to the park and rode around some more while Jackie and Samuil kayaked in the lagoon. ...
Things to do in Bangkok (or near to)
This is a top pick! ... a huge market full of all sorts of stuff. National Museum - I haven't been yet, but think it'd be worth a visit. Thailand Culture Centre - I haven't been yet, but think it'd be worth a visit. Suan Siam -Near our place. Follow the boat directions ...
A rebound from the Chinese affair
This is a top pick! To keep up with the good tone of my previous entry ... here I am in Bangkok. Landed at 1 am - not exactly my preferred time of landing in foreign country, but at least still current on my Chinese visa, so I can go back. No hotel reservations, no nothing. ...
Banal Bureaucracy
This is a top pick! ... 5 days minus the weekend waiting in line, expressing frustration at nonresponsive embassy employees, and taking hour long taxi rides through Bangkok's traffic (which we recently heard is one of the top ten worst in the world!!)we also have had to once ...
Sat 27 Jan 2550
This is a top pick! ... and the guy loves it, it will be good for Antipodeans and for me, as hopefully more people will want to come to volunteer in Thailand. So I didn't cancel it and about a week ago Jaree said she has one place that will take him. But at 700B per night. ...
Grand Palace with Manny and Josh
This is a top pick! They both liked the Grand Palace a lot. As they should. It's cool. For info on it, see one of my pods from one of the other 4 times we've been. ...
Songkran Water Festival
This is a top pick! Yet again, I will leave it up to Lindsey to tell you about Songkran. Her post: The biggest Thai holiday is their Thai New Year called Songkran, or astrological passage. But it's not just a one-night party like our New Year. It's a ...
29 March 2551
This is a top pick! ... 't last long. Mainly she just wants a cuddle and some milk. She is good and no problems. It is getting pretty hot in Bangkok now, so I think she gets a bit hot at times. Kanchana mentioned one night that she feels pity for mothers that have to take ...
Chinese visa
This is a top pick! ... since I had to abandon my travel plans and leave Chengdu in a hurry last November because my visa has expired. I took a cab across Bangkok. 45 minutes and 85 Baht later, I am in East Bangkok. It is 7 am and there are very few people waiting in ...
Stuck in the middle. What should I do?
This is a top pick! ... . China remains elusive and unattainable. I see myself from a distance - I tiny dot on the world map, South East Asia, Central Thailand, Eastern Bangkok. No purpose, no plan, no real reason to be here, or anywhere else. For first time in many, many years, ...
People + Noise = Bangkok
This is a top pick! ... no one tells you about it until you get to the immigration checks and you have to go all the way back to pay it. Anyway, Bangkok definately wasn't as bonkers as a lot of people led us to believe. It's madder than Dublin alright, and very noisy, but it ...
Sightseeing in Bangkok
This is a top pick! ... , which is the original one? In contrast Wat Phra Kaeo has the most beautifully decorated walls of any wat I've seen in Thailand. The paintings are wonderful and much more photo worthy than the Emerald Bhudda itself. The whole site can be toured in ...
Road to Bangkok
This is a top pick! ... little more knee-room provided, and they all have toilets (not a universal truth on the buses). Chaiya was a treasure, my favorite place in Thailand so far. There is only one hotel, and it is clean and has character and we got a room with two fans (!!) ...
Bangkok Is Turning Japanese, I Really Think So
This is a top pick! ... to a perfect city-break (no Heaven for me at this rate). It would be a sad day tomorrow leaving Bangkok. A 45 minute flight north to Chiang Mai awaited, Thailand's centre for culture and trekking. Sawadee-khrap Ladyboy Gaz & Manlygirl Soph ...
Wedding phase 2
This is a top pick! OK. We arrived back at the hotel for the second session. It started in a similar way to the first in that we were pushed around and told what to do and many people took pictures of us and told us to smile. Hmmm, never mind. I started to become numb ...
New Year's in Bangkok
This is a top pick! ... leaving SE Asia after almost 6 weeks. Although we only saw selected parts of Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand (only Bangkok), Shari's favorite was laid-back Laos. For Frank, it's a tossup between Cambodia with its ancient temples and ...
More Thailand pictures
This is a top pick! Hi - here are some pictures from the last month or so. ...
Travel days are boring...
This is a top pick! ... government not to fix the road I came in on! The evil plan works as I've now paid $144 for a flight back to Bangkok when a flight from Phnom Penh to Bangkok costs $40 despite being twice as far away. Back in Bangkokˇ I'm getting used to ...
Wat's that?
This is a top pick! ... infested rooms above Go-Go Bars. How disappointing! But we did get hustled a few times (more of that later). What to say about Bangkok? It's noisy, humid, very polluted &, &, & that's about it really. It's not a bad place & it's not that we don't like ...
New Plan
This is a top pick! ... in Feb and March. I hope soon to book in a few more dates and work in Australia until about mid May and then return to Thailand. Hopefully by that time I would have made and saved enough money to pay for the rest of my year in Thailand and I will have ...
One Night In Bangkok..........well 6 actually
This is a top pick! ... , which gave me a chance to reply to emails, and then walked a couple of miles to Siam Centre - main shopping centre area of Bangkok Saturday 19th June 2004 Day of the temples today - walked down to Wat Pho, where, as a major tourist place, there ...
A night in Bangkok
This is a top pick! The hour-long journey from the airport to Shanti Lodge gave us the opportunity to reaquaint ourselves with Bangkok's rush hour traffic. By the time we got to our hotel, we were ready for food and ac. The lodge was beautifully decorated, ...
Same Same But Different
This is a top pick! ... hung out and watched people, which means that I saw about 900 prostitutes today before lunch. What are the hookers wearing in Bangkok nowadays you're asking yourself? It varies but a very short skirt is de reguer this season paired with clunky Lucite ...
The (mis)adventures of Sukhumvit
This is a top pick! ... hilarious. There were indeed two robots on duty, making sure everyone was taken care of. It was on the expensive side, for Thailand anyways, but it was a once-in-a-lifetime thing, so we ordered from the little computerized menus and the robots got busy. ...
Back to Bangkok
This is a top pick! ... this case, that was being charged for blood letting. Massages here are about $10 an hour, which is a hell of a deal, and Thailand is famous for (well for lots of things), but particularly for massages. I'll take this time to point out that these ...
Family Day in Exotic Thailand
This is a top pick! We only had one day to check out the capital before Derek had to fly home. So we hit the most important sites: Grand Palace, the Chao Praya, a museum, and then food, massages, and shopping. It was a full day. I didn't take my camera, so ...
