31 March 2008 Day two of our Thailand get away. We started with buffet breakfast in the hotel then we took a cab to our first destination. The Wat Pho, it's one of the popular temples in Bangkok, just a short distance away from the Grand Palace. It is home of scenic architecture and the biggest reclining buddha. My good friend and travel buddy, ...

Ich bin um 0500 aufgestanden, immer noch muede. Took a taxi to the airport. Though it wasn't even 0700 but the sun was rising and the sky was bright. We had our breakfast after checked-in. The line to the immigration counter was **** long and the woman was damn slow. We had to run to the boarding gate coz we were late! Echt bloed but luckily we ...

From Hong Kong Airport to Bangkok onwards to Northern Thailand- Chiang Mai!!!!

We arrived in our hostel at about 8pm on Thursday evening. We got a tazi from the airport this time which took a while but showed us some good views of Bangkok. However, when we got off the motorway we could see just how dirty some of it is. It is not the nicest place I have been to but I have definitely been to worse - Dover for starters. The h...

Before flying to Hanoi to catch up with our very good friends Derek and Michelle--how fortunate are we to be able to see them twice on this trip--I feel I must acknowledge that you have not seen any pictures of the fantastic Wats in Bangkok, the Grand Palace, the marvelous Buddha images, etc. Unfortunately when Kate and I first arrived to Thaila...

Well we're just finishing our 4th day here and flying to New Delhi tonight at 8pm. The weather has been the best surprise.  High 20's and lowish humidity, which is wonderful when you know how much Rob and I HATE the heat.  Our hotel is in a great spot close to the skytrain and the ferry terminal and has cool breezes blowing off the river all day...

Aloha, here I am again. Back "home" in South Korea. I just came back from 3 awesome weeks in Thailand. What a marvelous country that is. I had the best time ever. On the 31st of July I flew from Incheon to Bangkok (BKK). Arrival in BKK airport at 22:00 pm and from there I took a cab to my guesthouse downtown. My first night in BKK I thought I ne...

It's all really happening, it's ending. I'm going home. I'm scared of going home, still. I like who I've become -- someone happier, more confident, less stressed, more able to meet people, easier-going, really almost carefree. My stresses here don't seem to get under my skin and become part of me, as they used to at home. I want to keep that. I ...

Return to Bangkok Back in Bangkok for our last few days in Thailand before flying to Hong Kong and the next main leg of our journey. The weather by now was getting intensely hot and so we decided to treat our selves to an air conditioned room - luxury. Again we stayed on Khoa San Road which is a brilliant place to just hang about. There are stal...
