Hotels in Bangkok - Prices and Reviews

Hey good old Bangkok me and Ruth love it here . We were both looking forward to our first experience of the world famous backpacker area of Khao san road your not a backpacker till you've stayed there. We'd heard many stories of the flea pit acommadation that you find which we managed to avoid we actually stayed in a nice cheapish hotel complete...

I'm going to rewind for a little bit back to the "Dark Knight" IMAX watching, 'cause I forgot an important detail of the screening. At the end of the pre-movie commercials, the audience stood up with their hands on their hearts and a very slick, almost creepy propaganda piece saluting the King started playing, lasting the length of a movie trail...

Val arrived with her bag (60 lbs.) plus.  To my surprise we managed to see the three sites of major importance - Grand Palace, Reclining Buddha, and Sukhumvit soi 15. The sky train was great, off the ground for a general view of the city. At the end of the line we hoped on a water-bus to stop 6 (I think) by the Grand Palace. There were so many t...

As always with long flights, because it seems to be restricted to long flights, I couldn't sleep. So I arrived in a steadily increasing zombie-like state. I then started to explore with two equally miserable Swedes, Sven and Johan. I don't know if I need to include anything about how Bangkok is because it seems like everyone I know have already ...

It is born from letting go of what is unnecessary and knowing ourselves to be always at home."

Meno on taalla paiva paivalta mukavampaa. Kavelin koko lauantain weekend marketilla joka on aivan jarjettoman kokoinen markkinapaikka taynna ihan mita tahansa. Jengia oli tuhansittain muttei silti juurikaan lansimaista. Kulutin kokonaisen tonnin eli about 20e! Kotimestoillakin on tosin mukavaa ja edullista. Thaimummo pesi pyykit 20centilla ja hu...

So, after a few tears here and there, we made it to Bangkok and Kev's worries as to Sian getting on a plane where soon put at ease, thanks to 2 Diazapan and a double vodka orange on Sian's behalf! Bangkok is a crazy place, it's so hot and humid and totally not what we expected. Our hostel, is, well...as expected for $1.33 a night, I think they b...

Bangkok... what a crazy place it is. Just while typing this sentence i have been offered 'special massages' by 3 different girls and an old man really really wants me to buy some orange juice off him. Thismorning i ordered roast duck for breakfast because it only cost $4au... when it arrived i realised it was not duck at all, and i had extreme d...

cominciamo bene... avevo scritto tante belle cose con tanto amore e invece per colpa di ste maledette tastiere asiatiche ho fatto la piu classica delle cazzate e ho cancellato tutto. ma uffa! dicevo.... insomma il viaggio e andato bene, siamo arrivati nella parte hippy (credo) di bangkok in un groviglio di viuzze pedonali e piene di carrettini c...

21st July Went and played golf today. It poured as soon as we wheeled the cart onto the green. Mike made a mockery of himself, hitting the first two balls into the pond infront of the first tee. 22 July Extreme day of mountain biking today. Only Mike and I went because apparently, Tom can't ride a bike????? At 0930, the truck picked us up along ...
