155/1 Soi Mahadlekluang 1, Rajdamri Road Bangkok, Thailand, 10330, 2-690-1888
After some stressful weeks in Japan and China I met Mausi at Bangkok airport to spend three days of our X-mas holiday there.
(Jim) We arrived in Bangkok very late last night, after the whole comedy of errors with the delayed Jet Airways flight. Our plane arrived in Bangkok at 2 a.m. after a three-and-a-half hour flight. When we de-planed into Bangkok airport, we all exhaled. The airport was modern, spacious and above all clean. I think we did not realize how oppressed we were by the filth of India until we left. Thailand's GDP is $8,000 per capita, compared to $2,700 per capita in India -- a world of difference. Ad...
Bangkok, Thailand oneyearawayEarly start, up at 8.30 with so much to do. Can't believe we are going away for 5 weeks the day after Christmas Day! Didn't get home from Mum & Dad's until 1am after a great Xmas Day. Sarah's mum came around to help with the packing and so on! Somehow got ready to leave by 4pm after Mum & Dad arrived. Had a nice coffee with the parents at the airport before it was off on leg 1 of the journey down to Heathrow. No problems with the flight down, had a nice buttie on the plane, got to Hea...
Bangkok, Thailand robnsarahozBy the time we landed, it was around 4.30pm Bangkok time, and by the time we got through customs, got the bags, found the bus to the city and got to the hotel (the city seemed ages away), it was about 7.30. Hotel is smart, only about a year or so old, so thumbs up to the Marriott Courtyard Bangkok. Massive room with a King size bed. Modern deco with mirrors everywhere. Shower was fantastic after a long journey. It has an open-air pool and whirlpool, which may get a run out tomorrow. After a s...
Bangkok, Thailand robnsarahozHad a good sleep and slept through the alarm! Rob made a coffee and we very leisurely got ready. Went to the Big M for breakfast, but steered clear of the muffins, had a nice caramel macchiato, and shared a banana cinnamon roll & a chocolate croissant! Explored the huge shopping centre by the Chang bar from last night, CentralWorld and had a good wander. Despite being in Bangkok, there were plenty of familiar shops, Dorothy Perkins, Next, Boots, Zara, TopShop! Lunch was a bizarre creation...
Bangkok, Thailand robnsarahozOnly kind of heard the alarm again so got up at 10.30. Packed up and had our usual late check-out by about 12.30. Were given a welcome voucher worth 500 Bart which bought us some lunch, had a nice steak sandwich while Sarah had a chicken and avocado wrap. Were planning on heading to the airport around 4.30 so didn't want to stray too far, as it took us about an hour to get from the airport last time. Took the Sky Train to Victory Monument and wandered around the street market there. Felt a lo...

After about 30 meters in it just went pitch black for <br>about 50 meters. Once we got to the end of the cave, the water lit up as there <br>was an opening at the end of the cave. Our guide told us there ...
Bangkok, Krung Thep, Thailand thai-discovery... of a roundrobin of tourists all meeting up in the same shops as we were each in turn taken to the next shop. Fear not however, nothing was bought (we waited for Hoi An) but we did feel a bit sorry for our driver who was a bit depressed as he drove on after this. Back to the palace- we did get in to see it, we had thought ahead and worn 'appropriate attire' which is basically long stuff and managed to jump the queue in front of ...

Bangkok, Krung Thep, Thailand astoreonline... the monk was a couple with a young child. Actually, more a baby than a child. And later on as I tried to fall asleep the most awful smell started to fill the top deck of the bus, I opened my eyes to try and figure out what it was only to look across and see the couple changing the nappy of the child. I am so glad I was not ill during that trip as that would have sent me over the edge. The smell was horrendous!<br><br>Arrived in Chiang ...

I have a friend in Aussie who has offered to potentially put me up for a little bit and I am strongly considering it. <br><br>I came across a boy sleeping in the most disgusting of sidewalks. He<br>was much closer to being in the street, but the cars drove around him<br>fine. The area smelt quite putrid and he was absurdly skinny.
