The Day of Temples

Today we decided to move to Baan Lotus Gustehouse, closer to the main backpacker street and a larger room with private rather than shared bathroom. Whilst the woman here speaks a very wierd robot/computer style of English the place is nice and room a little less tired for not much difference in price.

We then grabbed some lunch, a …

Ayutthaya - Wat's that you say..?

Okay, we're rubbish, we know. Here follow all the updates we should have been doing the last two weeks...


We spent two full days in Ayutthaya and im fairly sure that we saw everything! On the first day we set out walking and (somehow) ended up at the river. We wandered around the north west corner of the island, going into the …

Mass floods only an hour from Bangkok!

28th Sept We arrived the evening on the 27th but didn't get up too much because we got there pretty late. It took a while finding our guesthouse mainly because the tuk tuk drivers took us to the complete wrong part of town and then demanded more money even though we already agreed a price. They were basically trying to con us but we stood our …

Temples, Jungles and Mafia Bars

Having done the exact reverse of our journey down south, we found ourselves arriving in Bangkok at 6 am where we promptly headed back to the hedonism of the Khao San Road. However, this hedonism quickly overwhelmed us - the bars were still full and we had the displeasure of seeing very drunk girls whilst being impossibly sober - and we got on a …

First overnight train journey (from hell)

i have just spent pretty much the last 12 or so hours staring at the celiing watching hundreds of cockraoches sunning about.

as we changed our plans last minute we were unable to get a sleeper car and had to settle for just chairs. in my head i thought this would be fine, no different to a plane journey really. but it was different, oh it …

Ayutthaya

Went on a day trip to Ayuthaya today. We went with Brooke and Nick, who I met in Singapore. We're going to pretty much the same places so it was good to meet up again. The tour went to the famous temples in Ayuthaya and the tour guide told us some info about each place, and we had a Thai buffet lunch too. The temples were carpeted which was really …

En transition vers le Nord

Ancienne capitale de la Thaïlande, ville reconnue pour ses temples et ses ruines spectaculaires.


Journée de transition vers le Nord du pays. Effectivement, nous avons dû tuer 8 heures d'attente.
Un merci tout spécial à Tony, nous avons beaucoup apprécié le divan, le smoothie, la bière et le pad thaï!

Bangkok (again) and Ayuttahaya

After a quick one hour flight from Siem Reap I was back in Bangkok and the 'Land of Smiles' and looking forward to seeing Oi again . I was hoping that we could pick up where we left off. We met at the BTS train station On Nut in the east of the city where she has a studio apartment and we hit off straight away again over some drinks at her local …

Ayutthaya: vestiges d’un royaume

Les marchants européens la surnommait la Venise de l'Asie. Certains disaient même que sa richesse et sa grandeur au 16 siècle était comparable à celles de Paris. Ayutthaya, située à 2 heures de bus de Bangkok, est considérée comme une île, car elle est entourée de 3 rivières importantes. Ce sont ces rivières qui sont à l'origine de la richesse de …

Ayutthaya

I travelled up to Ayutthaya from Bangkok yesterday. I had really intended to go on the 2nd class Express but discovered that it cost 316 THB rather than the 15 THB on the third class train which only took 15 minutes or so longer. Well, as a backpacker, not much of a decision there then! (15 THB = 0.3€ - I can't really see how the cost of even …
