I have been giving you some ideas about what to do along the route of the MRT Subway in Bangkok. Today I want to suggest that you visit the Snake Farm which is roughly halfway between Sam Yan and Silom Stations. It is an interesting place to spend a few hours and you can also learn something new. Thailand is home to more than 180 varieties of sn...

Vi er netop kommet tilbage fra en super spaendende tur rundt i Burma. Rejsen startede i hovedstaden, Yangon, tilfloejet fra Bangkok, og foregik med bus - og et enkelt bumletog - rundt mellem den naeststoerste by, Mandalay, og turistattraktionerne Bagan, Ngapali Beach og til slut tilbage til Yangon. Det er svaert, at forestille sig hvordan landet...

Cannot believe that it is all over!! We spent our last day but one shopping for all the fakes! It was very tiring, we also went to the night market to get some goodies, we became expert at haggling with the locals. On our very last day in bangkok we went slightly north, first stop was the graves of the POW's that lost their lives in the 2nd worl...

Today, I just chilled out, wandering around, doing some window shopping and checking out MBK again. I found the Food Centre great. Based on a coupon system, heaps of thai food stations serving up one style of food and a great way of tasting bits and pieces. I lunched on som thai and chicken and rice and a sample of Hoy Tod which is a very thin t...

DAY 1-4 WE LOVE THAILAND! After our exhausting flight we cleared customs - no worries thre they dont even check! and went out to find our hotel transfer. We went straight to the tourist association desk as we were instructed to do when Lou turned arround and saw our names (spelt correctly) on a card!!!we met our transfer and a young guy called g...

We have only been in Bangkok for a few hours and yet our lungs feel heavy with smoke. As we stepped off the plane we were hit with a thick blanket of condensed air. We walked around the airport trying to find a taxi, one that wouldn't rip us off, and finally came across a young wavy hair man who offered us his service for 300 bahts. During our r...

Well we're back! Sorry we haven't updated this in a while- it just takes such a long time to do! 3rd may (ish- we never remember dates anymore!) We had to come back to bangkok to meet mary (someone who i, jem work with in england) who was flying out for 2 weeks. It was our third visit to bangkok so there was some serious khao san road overload g...

Avoiding the infamous pit of travellers' horror stories, I booked a hostel on the other end of the ciy from Khao San Rd. On one hand this gives me a place with wooden floors, a/c, western bathrooms and good company, but on the other hand I'm forever & a day away from the only place you can take care of useful things like getting a visa or gettin...

Finally, as we are about to travel up north to Chiang Mai, our first entry! Spent the first night in a five star hotel - where the other guests threw us disdainful glances as we lugged our backpacks into the lobby. Next night in Khao San road - backpacker central - and went to watch Thai boxing. Both expecting more blood but one skinny guy was c...

Tuesday 1st Febuary Spent the whole day travelling,first from haad yao to thong salo, where we got a ferry to the mainland port of Surat thani. We then booked a VIP bus back to bangkok with a dodgy travel agent....we had reservations straight away but in the end we were hot and hungry so we just paid the 480 baht fare and headed off with an ozzi...
