I switch to my own room in Shanti Lodge, and feel instantly better. It's a luxury but the aircon is heaven. The food here also more than makes up for the nasty experience in the dorm, it's fantastic. I'm slowly finding my feet in Bangkok. Bangkok is notorious for traffic jams, so it's a matter of finding the quickest (and coolest) routes around ...

Hey Thailand is really different! Masses of people on the street selling their wares, busy, noisy, but really nice Thai people. Went to see Emily and was totally amazed and in awe of her very worthwhile project Nightlight who try to help bar girls come out of prostitution by offering them alternative means of employment, ie jewellery making. The...

February 11th, 17:50....what can I say about Bangkok??? Exhausting is definately a word that comes immediately to my mind. This city is all hustle and bustle! I don't know if I'd ever be able to live here. From the moment that I arrived in Bangkok, after my stint in Chachoengsao..I've noticed all the differances. For one thing...I will NEVER com...

Sa-wat dii!! (Hello in Thai) We landed into Bangkok on Dec 5th around 10am after a layover in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The international airport in Bangkok is brand new and is fabulous!! There is about three floors of shops and food stalls. After collecting our luggage, we took a mini-bus into the heart of Bangkok about an hour away. We were to b...

Quite a lazy day. Popped out for breakfast at one of the little old ladies who cook Pad Thai on their little carts on the street. 20 baht which when there are 70 to the £ is a real bargain, add a bit of sweet chilli sauce and it's my kind of breakfast. Took a half day trip around Bangkok's river and canals. The water is the life-blood of the cit...

Well we saw another side of Bangkok by visiting Siam Square and all of the shopping centres. There was even a shop selling lamborghinis....and fashion shows taking place on the ground floor. Crazy food halls selling all sorts that we didn't have a clue what they were. We did not visit a single temple on this trip to Bangkok though - instead we e...

Good evening from Bangkok. And a very irritable April Fool. This morning I left Siem Reap in Cambodia, bound for Ko Chang, which is on the Cambodia/Thailand border (but classed as Thailand) to meet Stina, the Norweigan girl I met in Saigon. Up I got at 5.30am after about 2 hours sleep, boarded a bus at 7am and set off on my way to the border. No...

Anyway...what've i been up2!?! I spent Sunday and monday killing time really, it was post-donna (my nurse saviour!)...

We're gonna stay in Bangkok for a few days so Todd can check the gong show that it is... We're gonna gorge on western food, watch a coupla movies in the deluxe luxury movie theatres, do some summer clothes shoppin' and check out the town. Then we're gonna head straight for the beaches of Koh Samui down south. See ya!
