So as some of you have already noticed, we here at TravelPod have developed a new game to help test your Traveler IQ. I will warn you, it is VERY addictive. I thought I knew geography but turns out I don't know JACK compared to some of you Earth savvy TravelPodders!

If you wanna get in there and try your hand at this fun new application, click the following:

No, 20 Baht cannot. No same same. 20 $ OK?


I didn't eat Pad Thai. I had my favourite. Som Tam Thai, and BBQd chicken and cat fish and sticky rice and cabbage leaves and beans... and coke with ice.

Hmmm, maybe this is all part of the solution to your adictions.

$20 - a good price for your health and sanity

You got all that for 20 baht!
