All right give me a break. Is it really possible to be in Bangkok and not have "One Night in Bangkok" in your head at least a couple times a day? If you can do it then God love you but I can't and do you want to know what's worse? Today I had "Getting to Know You" in my head, too. While I'm at it I want to assure you that I've yet to see a Thai ...

I was going to miss Cambodia. I loved it. I loved the people, the food, the amazing things I saw and learned there. It was everything I hoped it would be and so much more. It is for experiences like the ones in Cambodia that I embarked on this journey in the first place. That experience being the antithesis of what my world is all about. I wante...

So I ended up meeting up with my uncle Dave's friend Adul, whih turned out to be a really good thing for me. Up to that point Ihad really only seen one part of the city where Ko Sahn Rd was located, and frankly I was getting kind of sick of it. Just walking out of the guest house was a whole process because that street is so hectic. I guess the ...

Thursday Oct 30th I'm not sure what 'Phimera' means in English, but as it was the name of my plane maybe it means 'to sit for 11 hours squashed between 2 large people with bladder problems and behind screaming one year old.' Such was my flight to Bangkok. I eventually arrived safely and checked in to my hotel (I've decided to immerse myself gent...

Wednesday November 26th I was not looking forward to today. So far, all of my travels have been relatively easy and have gone more or less according to plan (with the exception of the psychlo driver in Vietnam and the interminable trip up the Mekong), but I knew that today would be a challenge. I had to get back to Bangkok and the only way to ge...

Well I've come back to the mad metropolis that is Bangkok. Back to the stifling heat and humididty, back to the haggling with the tuk-tuk drivers who rip you off with every toothy smile, back to the pimps on street corners offering massage happy hours, back to blind beggars singing badly through amplifiers strapped around their necks, back to th...

KT: We spent just under a week in Bangkok as we were sorting out our Chinese visa. We stayed in 2 parts of the city during this time. Our first few days were in Sukhumvit in a great hostel with lots of atmosphere (although the taxi man tried to stitch us up getting there - the old 'forgetting to reset the meter' trick). We enjoyed it there as it...

Happy New Year! Can't believe it's 2006. Just writing a quick post to let everyone know that we arrived safely into Bangkok. 14 hours to Tokyo, a layoff long enough for a quick sushi lunch in Narita airport, and then another 7 hours to Bangkok. We spent the first night at Sukhumvit Soi 11 (www.suk11.com), a really cool guesthouse comprised of a ...

Hi all, Sorry it's been so long since our last update. These things take a few hours for us to write and while internet cafe's are all over Thailand, they are often slow and would take too long for us to upload pictures. So, here we are with an extra day without plans, ready to fill you in on the next leg of our trip! We flew into Bangkok and sp...

Yes - im here again! 28/5/06 The trip was ok, we got a taxi from our lovely deserted beach in Ko Phang Ngan at 10, were on the boat to the mainland by 1 and in Surat Thani by 5. We waited till 7pm and then got an overnight bus to Bangkok. It was ment to last 12 hours so we would get in at a reasonable 7am, however, we arived at 4am! Somehow!! We...

First stop Bangkok. Checked out the markets, palace, Jim Thompson house¡K On Ed¡¦s recommendation we dined at a tasty little restaurant situated in a disused petrol station ¡K. I ate possible the hottest and tastiest soup ever¡K Every spoonful was a mammoth effort, a combination of sensational flavours and a chilli burning sensation... I had to ...

Woohoo! I'm in Thailand! After a rediculously long 20 hours of travelling I have made it. I've now been here almost 24 hours, and so far I love it. I arrived last night at around midnight. Shared a cab with a guy I met at the stopover in Tokyo. He lives here and has so far been a great resource. Plus sharing the cab saved me about 100 baht. Ok s...
