Hotels in Bangkok - Prices and Reviews

Our third and final round in Bangkok. We were due to visit Kanchanaburi to the west of the capital but we are very close to the end of our trip and, to tell you the truth, we really can't be bothered with any more bus journeys. So, here we are again, back in the big, colourful, noisy metropolis which has to be one of south east Asia's most intri...

14 July

Got up at 04:00 to be at BKK airport in time for our 06:50 flight to Tokyo, Newark, then New Orleans.

Departed BKK on time, made all our connecting flights without delays. We went thru security checks every time we deboarded a plane and again when we boarded the next one. I wore my passport out taking it out and putting it ...

OK, we've been in Bangkok for only 18hours, of which 8hours asleep.... first impressions? 1. CIVILISATION!! The airport was the biggest and cleanest I've ever seen, we got into town on a spotless 12 lane highway, and there are skyscrapers as far as the eye can see. It's basically the opposite of Nepal. 2. PIMPING. No, I don't mean that kind of p...

DAY 2 - Bangkok - Did I say it was hot yesterday? Because that was a lie. Now it's hot. If yesterday was Statesboro in August, then today is Statesboro during the apocalypse. And not my self-serving metaphorical liberal theological apocalypse, but some serious, don't even read well enough to know what a metaphor is, Mama go get your shotgun 'cau...

From my journal: You also learn such amazing patience and tolerance when traveling. It's a survival technique as well as a positive character trait to have. Problems become challenges and mistakes become forms of variation. Then there are no problems and no mistakes. There is no excessive precaution and fear and there is no guilt and regret. Thi...

The King's Palace is very big! Today was also really hot so walking is a drag. The Grand Palace served as a offical home for the king of Thailand from the 18th century to the 20th century. It is beautiful! The palace is gold and has many other colors on the roof like red and green. The area is about 218,400 sq meters. The walls were built in 178...

When the Bangkok airport official announced in her cute English that our flight would be delayed until "midnight-thirty" it should have been apparent I was, once again, on the wrong side of the Fates. Like Orwell's clock striking thirteen it proved to be ominous. I boarded the plane, weighed down by my duty free booze, and took the same seat I h...

Itinary : Singapore - Pinang - Phuket - Ranong - Bangkok Date : 23rd September to 27th September. Mileage so far : 2332 km. Finally in Bangkok, took me about 4 days with an average of 600 km per day. A lot of rain! Especially from Phuket to Ranong where it rained the whole time during the 7 hours I was on the bike! There was floods a bit everywh...

After the wonderful waffle dinner, the trio walked down to along the streets of Bangkok. The streets were brightly litted up with lights (something like Singapore town but less extravagant) and the entire street was entertained by the huge TV. We wondered around at the shopping centre and hoping that the rest will call us when they were done wit...
