Royal Hotel Bangkok

Hi Everyone, We flew from Doha to Bangkok, another 7 hours of flying. Just as we were approaching Thailand the sun was starting to set and we got an incredible red sky in the distance. We landed in Bangkok at about 7pm their local time. Our bodies were still going on South Africa time and thought it was early in the morning. So between this and the fact we had next to no sleep the whole night, we were pretty messed up. We went through the customs and then went to see what we could do about ge...

The wedding was incredible. I think there was actually 3 cermonies, Buddist ceremony, Civil and Klingon or something. All were short. The whole wedding was on a hill resort overlooking the ocean. Besides the great view, there was a steam room and pool to relax after the ceremonies and banquet. The groom decided not to thank and name the out of town guests (Everybody!!). The food was incrediable, especially the soup. Paul liked the soup, I have video to prove it. But he choked on a pepper and ...

Last time I was in Bangkok I could actually describe a restaurant in these terms:
"Great atmosphere, cool music, tasty food and lovely company... just a shame about the rats scuttling under the tables."
So when, this time around, it's night time and it's time to choose a restaurant, that place is probably not going to be top of the list.
Let me rewind a bit...I arrived early into Bangkok after an hour and a half train journey from the North. It cost 15 Baht, which is about 35 pence....

Arrived in Bangkok at 5am with Char and Laura by night bus and was immediately bombarded by annoying taxi drivers which went down amazingly well as you can imagine!!! Char and Laura nneeded to find their accomodation etc and I wanted to get settled before my tour so I headed seperately to my hotel. My hotel was called the Royal Hotel Bangkok and was so nice! I had a lovely warm shower and enjoyed the luxury of a flushing toilet for once! My roommate Kyla came and introduced herself. She is 19...

Ok here goes my attempt at a blog! Me and Nicola managed to get to Thailand without too much trouble, only receiving one funny look from the woman at the check in desk at heathrow. I dont really think she knew what she was doing.

When we arrived at the airport Nicola had left everything she needed to get into the country (arrival card and departure card) on the plane, no change there :). All worked out ok and we got through customs and our baggage ok. When we stepped outside it was ra...
