D&D Inn Bangkok

BANGKOK We got in our first taxi out of Bangkok airport and within 20 mins our driver had fallen asleep at the wheel during rush hour..after a few pokes and several sniffs of a dubious looking smelling salt we were on our way again - arrived at D&D Inn Kho San Road, checked into our ant ridden room and so immediately left and went for a massage to relax us...got led upstairs and told to strip - lauren was lucky enough to get a male masseur who particularly enjoyed resting her head in his ...

Well arrived got here safely thank god! The journey was fine met a girl at the airport Natalie so that was good she was flying home to South Africa. The plane journey was fine but boaring due to being limmited to a plastic carrier bag with purse passport and tickets! Think i have mug written across my fore head or maybe 'terrorist' as me a Natalie got asked to step aside and had to go and be X rayed 3 times over! ha trust me! Arrrived at Bangkok to meet Di and headed to the Kho San Road - Ban...

We'd been told to expect it, but the harrassment we received coming out of Bangkok airport was crazy! Hundreds of taxi drivers, travel agents and hotelliers eager to receive our custom. Consulting the lonely planet, our chosen plan of action was to get out of the terminal building and make our way to the official taxi rank. Having done this, we had our first taste of Thailand bartering and managed to secure what seemed like a decent fee to the Khao San Road - the place to be if you're a backp...

Sawatdee Khrab from Bangkok! hope you are all well and enjoying sunny NI, it's been a constant 35 degrees over here all week, we're sizzling nicely. "It's ok Caroline, you can't get burned through clouds" are words that have come to haunt me recently. Stayed on the kho san road on arrival, think Portrush, portstewart and Las vegas all rolled into one and you're way off, it's pretty tacky and waaaay touristy but good craic and worth staying in the place we did - D+D Inn - had swimming pol on t...

We landed in Thailand with a Bang a Bangkok that is. Stepped off the plane expecting it to be a bad airport but infact it was descent. Through customs and out to get a taxi to Koa San road which was horrible and full of hawkers, to see if there was any space in the wonderful D&D Inn we had heard so much about. There was, but only 2 double beds so we took it any way. Quick power nap then it was down to the local Gullivers to try a bucket and a bit of pool where the ladies seemed to have co...

So Malaysia was done and dusted, seen all the sites and ate the food, and got conned by the lovely taxi drivers! great stuff! Nice country though, well recomended! Just DONT take the train!!! We got all fancy this time and flew back to Bangkok, only two two hours as apposed to a sickening 2 days on buses and dare is say it.... Trains! Arrived back in Bangkok at about 10pm and jumped straight into the taxi of death were the taxi driver looked like an on the run mental psycho killer and drove l...

We arrived back in Bangkok at 6am after a relatively painless night bus from Chiang Mai and a bargain at 350 baht. Upon arriving at our hotel we were told that our room wouldn't be ready till 1 oçolock but if we wanted to upgrade for 100baht per night we could check in immediately, needless to say that at 6 in the morning we took the later option! After a few hours more sleep we went for a spot of lunch and bumped into our friend Sas who we had firts met in Nha Trang and who had spent the las...

We flew to Bangkok on 15th from Hong Kong. As I was questioning the staff in the airport about the size of my hand luggage I spotted none other than Gok Wan at the Information Desk! He was very low key, wearing a completely black outfit with hareem pants and had just ordinary luggage, no Louis Vuitton or anything. He even sat economy, on Air Asia (on our very flight) where it is about 30p for an upgrade! Gok either gets paid a pittance or is keeping it real.

Unfortunately, after eating...

Hello. Yesterday (sat 12th) was my last day at the school. In the market in Takeo on Sunday with Claire, I bought even more school shirts, which I'm so glad I did because we had about 30+ kids at the school when we got back, waiting for us!!! They were very excited when they saw all the things we'd got, and we called them up one at a time to fit each one out individually, to avoid a stampede! I had also bought them all a pencil case, ruler, pens and sweets. Some of the kids are parentless, or...
