Blurry in Bangkok
This is a top pick! (Em here) Spent today feeling sorry for ourselves again (not due to the alcohol I hasten to add) as we still don't feel 100%. Spend the day wandering around Khao San Road trying to buy cheap supplies before we go. Move to a nicer hotel (Siam Palace) ...

Shopping and Shiny heads
This is a top pick! Another stop on my crazy Thailand roundabout, and I take the long journey up to Bangkok (again?), waving at Kate on the way past. Arrive on Koh San at the rather pleasant time of 1.30am and managed to hole up for the night. I have been in a shopping ...
Sudden Return to the Real World
This is a top pick! ... leave a place that felt so incredibly distant in both time and culture and find ourselves in the modernity and familiarity of Bangkok. It was a mixture of relief at leaving Hanoi and remorse at being torn from the beauty surrounding Ninh Binh. But ...
Things I hate about travelling...
This is a top pick! ok ok ok..... Firstly, it's not the actual travel I hate. It's peoples conception of what travel actually is. I only have 2 points to make at this stage, but as and when others come to light, they'll get a random walk on part throughout my ...
Oriental City
This is a top pick! ... of temples which are gleaming in the sunlight. Built in 1785 as the private royal temple, this is the holiest site in Thailand and houses the most important image, the Emerald Buddha. We walk around a maze of different buildings which are used for ...
Muslim funeral
This is a top pick! ... there was a lot to do, whilst the family was still expected to be hospitible and also arrange for the funeral. Muslim houses in Thailand are often like Malay houses. Quite large rooms and airy. I had a drink and .... (I can't think of his name right ...
One Night in Bangkok
This is a top pick! ... don't know what kind of preservation techniques they have here, but American mortuary science could probably learn a few things from Thailand. I asked how many citizens had come to pay their respects, and she responded that the palace receives over ...
Wet and Wild
This is a top pick! ... quickly set off in the other direction to shouts of ' love you long time', gulps. April is the hottest month in Bangkok, so its a pleasure to participate in local traditions and keep cool at the same time. We have really never experienced anything of ...
Simmering Thailand
This is a top pick! ... over the River Kwai still stands. I was dumbfounded by the amount of soldiers who lost their lives here when the Japanese occupied Thailand and forced prisoners to build a bridge and railway to Burma. It was so horribly hot and humid, I couldn't imagine ...
Off to Thailand
This is a top pick! ... and we are through. From the relative calm of the 'passengers only' section, we enter the chaos of the Bangkok Airport arrivals lounge. The place is shoulder to shoulder - a few passengers and hundreds of assorted Thai people seeking their ...
Asia's Venice
This is a top pick! ... cities of Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai, overwhelmed by the relative wealth of the country, along with its westernization. Although Northern Thailand is known for its hill tribes and trekking, we knew we had seen the most authentic and beautiful villages & ...
A 'dancing road' brings us back to Bangkok
This is a top pick! ... off to sleep. After all the shocks and surprises, chaos and contradictions of Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia, being back in Thailand seemed like arriving in Europe - super-civilised, calm and efficient. And Thanon Rambutri in Banglamphu, Bangkok, felt like ...

New Year's Eve
This is a top pick! New Year's Eve was pretty chill. We didn't even head out until after 10:00. We had a couple of beers as we walked a few blocks to Central World, the main gathering area. I guess it's the equivalent of Times Square. We never drink, ...
A Huge Metropolis
This is a top pick! ... as well. We met up with a friend of mine from the Sunshine Coast of Australia while we were in Bangkok. She and her sister and niece were touring around Thailand for a couple of weeks. I met Rosslyn in Portugal in 1981; she and her cousin had been ...

These Legs Were Made For Walking
This is a top pick! ... felt actually overwhelmed and unhappy with my decision to come here, but that was mostly because of the day I had. I'm sure coming to Bangkok with it's heat and congestion after spending a week away from home already had something to do with it, and I was ...
A Close Distance - Protests in Bangkok
This is a top pick! ... a journalist wheeled into the hospital who had been hit by a grenade. The whole experience was close but distant. It's hard to explain. It was surreal. http://matadornetwork.com/bnt/2010/05/24/a-close-distance-the-bangkok-protests-from-an-expats-eyes/ ...
Riding the Thermocline

Loy Krathong
This is a top pick! ... Lights. It's an old tradition where Thais pay their respects to the river goddess for the abundance that she provides. In Bangkok they now do it more as an apology for the pollution and abuse of her waters. But in rural areas, the ...
Same Same
This is a top pick! Arriving in Bangkok we decided to save some money and get the train into town. At the airport we were hassled to get a tour taxi, but eventually found the train station via Terminal 1. Arriving at Hua Lamphong Railway Station we found out the local tuk ...
Two Days. No sleep
This is a top pick! Getting into Thailand we made our way firstly past the usual "taxi?", "taxi sir?" and "do you need a taxi madam?" and walked through from the international to the domestic terminal. At the domestic one we wanted to checkout the availability of a flight ...
Thai Handicrafts
This is a top pick! ... Dinner Theater Smile or a Bus and Truck Tour Smile there'll be hell to pay I can assure you. The upside to staying in Bangkok for longer than I expected is that on the 8th at the Ambassador Hotel across the street they're celebrating with a full floor ...
