A Visit from Amy
This is a top pick! ... away our backpacks for a while, but Amy decided to visit and give us an excuse to head south and check out some beaches first. We spent a couple of days in Bangkok seeing what must be seen, then we took an overnight bus and ferry to Koh Phi ...
Thai Boxing
This is a top pick! Today we decided to have a laid back chill out day and basically bum around. We both slept in and finished off the books we were reading. Updated our web blog and uploaded some photos. This took a fair bit of the day. For fun we decided to get a ...
The Grand Palace
This is a top pick! The Grand Palace was just that. Ah, but which? Grand? A palace? I'll never say. I will say that it was shiny in all the right places. It actually hurt to look at it. And I don't mean hurt to look at like a Gaugin painting, I mean the sun reflecting off ...
Back In Bangkok - last time :-(
This is a top pick! Again, not sure on the date here. We really should've had a few more days ...
Bangkok - Day 96
This is a top pick! ... bed as soon as I checked in, didn't really sleep to much on the over night bus. Visited the eye specialist in Bangkok this afternoon. The hospital was amazing, like a 5 star hotel. Great service, ultra efficient, and the best infrastructure and ...
Misguided
This is a top pick! ... wandered around aimlessly hoping to stumble upon it as I realized I was walking around Patpong, one of the "Go Go" areas of Bangkok getting plenty of directions but not to the kind of places that handle plane tickets I reckoned. One lady stopping to ...
Low Tide, Some Bad Luck, and More Visitors
This is a top pick! ... chestnuts in coconut milk served over ice, mango with sticky rice...). The next day, Jeff and Allison's last in Thailand, we made a trip to Bangkok's gigantic weekend market. The two of us had gone there the previous weekend, before Jill and John had ...
Thailand - Bangkok
This is a top pick! ... funky Thai name so we have no idea where or what it was - sorry! One thing we have noticed in Thailand, and Bangkok in particular, is that the Thais REALLY love their King. To be fair it's not hard to spot! Every lamppost is adorned with ...
Some shopping before we finally leave SE Asia
This is a top pick! ... in Krabi our moods were improved when we lucked out and managed to grab the last two seats on the Lignite 24 seater overnight bus to Bangkok. The bus departed at 5pm and so we spent our time relaxing in a hotel and watching some DVD's. In the afternoon we ...
The Major Players
This is a top pick! ... , really -- they really are the fashion police and they've got guns for crying out loud. You don't want to screw with the Bangkok Fashion Police because they will blow your damn brains out. White shoes after Labor Day? Don't even think about it. The girl ...
Mollycoddled
This is a top pick! ... want when away from home but mainly made up of bars and tour agencies offering too-cheap-too-be-true prices to destinations around Thailand. Walking the length of the street I could see it's appeal to those fresh in the country or about to leave but was ...

All roads lead to Khao Sahn... umm... road
This is a top pick! We arrived back in Bangkok and headed straight to Khao Sahn rd. Macdonalds, Hungry Jacks, lots of alcohol. It's still a dirty city, but it has its benefits! We spent a while looking for a decently priced room that didn't look like it was decorated by a ...
Still in Bangkok
This is a top pick! ... . There are white folks from Australia. So many from Australia that I am wondering if maybe the two countries of Australia and Thailand didn't just trade their citizens with with one another. The King doesn't look at all like Yul Brynner from the King and ...

My Daily Routine
This is a top pick! I've just finished my 1st six months as a kindergarten teacher. I must say I feel pretty tired and in need of a break. Teaching and looking after more than twenty 4 year olds that don't speak much English is a bit tiring although often lots of fun ...
Vegging Out
This is a top pick! ... . Squat. Zilch. Bugger all. Zip. And I loved it. May had the day off and instead of wandering around the sights of Bangkok we spent it sitting in front of the TV, eating, talking, sleeping and more eating. Feeling a little guilty about lounging ...
Ho, ho, ho from Bangkok
This is a top pick! Ho, Ho, Ho and I'm not referring to Santa Claus. By 1968, around 45,000 US troops had been deployed in Thailand. The nation was a staging area to conduct bombing missions in Laos and North Vietnam. The economy flourished. It created new and varying ...

This is a top pick! ... is miles away from the railway station, where we caught the bus from the other day. We have a full day in Bangkok before our evening train, which we would probably rather not have because the thought on trudging around these polluted streets avoiding ...
one of these things is not like the others...
This is a top pick! ... fishermen pants (like the ones they sell in Israel), sandals, candles, jewelry- literally, everything. We have heard that "everything in Thailand is so cheap"- but you can't believe it, until you walk away with a new pair of Birkenstock sandals (whether ...
Off to China
This is a top pick! After two hours of sleep, I have to get up and pack and get ready for my minibus to the airport. I fly from Bangkok to Xi'an, ...

This is a top pick! ... their necks, back to the six-year-olds who call you a ladyboy when you refuse to buy flowers/jewellery/laminated maps of Thailand/giant Zippo lighters from them when they hassle you whilst eating, back to more fake designer goods, David Beckham shirts, ...
Back to Thailand
This is a top pick! ... kicked things, spit on parts, and cursed just enough to get our dusty heap moving again. At Poipet we crossed back into Thailand after 5 months away and felt like we were suddenly back in the First World. Paved streets, AC, 7-Elevens. We ...

4th of July and Stacy's Going Away Party
This is a top pick! Stacy had to go back to America. Apparently UPenn is better than Bangkok Technical College. So we combined our love for Stacy with our love for our country in one super party. I was hoping we'd just listen to Lee Greenwood's God Bless ...
Tantalizing THAILAND!
This is a top pick! ... driving here.) We ended up at what can only be described as a shopping megalopolous called Bangkok Future Center. This place was overwhelming... isn't Thailand a developing country? What's with all the shiny floors and new stores and the supermarket ...
