We land in Bangkok at about 11:00 PM, wait a long time for my bags to appear from the belly of the airport onto the luggage carousel, and set out to walk to our hotel. On our way out of the airport, we get stuck in the rotating exit doors. It turns out to be a longer, less direct walk than expected. We do, in fact, get stuck in the mud with our ...

We were sad to see Dane's family leave.  Trips go by so quickly!  But we felt very grateful that they flew so far to see us and we got to share our Thai experience with them.   A few days after they left, we were expecting another visit from a friend from Austin, Amy.  She had been reading Dane's travelpod and decided she had...

The main purpose of staying in Bangkok was to visit my friend, Heb as well as visit the Asia Dive Expo 07 (ADEX 07). This is my friend, Heb. She was not working at the moment, so we went to the Forensic Museum opposite the Chao Praya Rivertogether. Initially Wee thought that she was abled to bring us around as she stayed in Bangkok for so long...

Well I have arrived safely in Bangkok and met both Laura and Katherine at the Airport. Have been in Bangkok for two days now yesterday we went on a tour round lots of the temples in Bangkok. And today we went to the floating market which was great. I have taken lots of photo's that i will try to put on now...

Since we'd spent longer in Indonesia than we'd expected and had already added Borneo to the trip, we reckoned it was about time we got back track with the trip we'd set out to do, so we got a flight to Bangkok.  From a comfy lounge near Khao San Road, we worked out a rough sketch of a plan, and made bookings along with that, something we'd ...

Landed at 6.00am feeling fairly human after a 5 hour leg from Abu Dhabi. While waiting in line for passport control, a man claiming to be from the airport advised us to stash our well over-the-limit duty free in our hand luggage to avoid getting caught by customs. We thanked him and did so. Big mistake! After the usual baggage roulette we emerge...

Friday, October 27, 2006 Bangkok / Gay District Familiarization Dear Readers: We say farewell to Cambodia this morning and catch a flight to Bangkok, Thailand. There are no overage charges for anybody's baggage, and I am a little surprised at that. All soon becomes clear after we have checked in and are hanging out in the boarding lounge. The ma...

So after saying goodbye to Emma and meeting up with Larrissa on our last day in Kathmandu and finally finding a cheap taxi to take us to the airport, we said goodbye to the land of hope and tranquility (not too sure about Kathmandu), but the Himalayan beauty and entered what it seems like chaos! Bangkok. The flight to Bangkok was with Thai air, ...

It has been a long three days! As some of you may know from reading this or just knowing about my life, weeks ago I lost my passport. Now this you would think wouldn't be such a big deal. One would just have to go to their consulate, apply for a new one and they would be off and running. This however, was just not the case and the number of hoop...

Well it is now day 4 since my parents have left. They were very nice and let me stay in our hotel for another couple of nights which helped as I managed to have a minor freakout when they left. Then I moved over to Khao San Rd like any respectable backpacker might do but Im sorry to say I dont really like it! I think it might be more to do with ...
