Bangkok, night time. After Joy is gone I take a motorbike taxi - risking my life in the crazy Bangkok travel - to Nana Plaza, I wanna be among people and where better to go in Bangkok at this time of the night but Nana Plaza. The bargirls do their job well yelling at me "hey you, sexy man, come inside please", "me love you too much", while I wal...

Day 24 (Wednesday) - BANGKOK Depart for Bangkok. Welcome dinner at Fook Yuan Chinese restaurant in the hotel. All the big names in Thai Orthopaedic Association was there - Prof Wichien (President), Dr Salanet (Vice), Dr Than (Sec-Gen), Col Kachin. I was seated next to Dr Salanet, a pleasant hand surgeon. The only problem was that he kept dishing...

Lo primero que te impresiona de Bangkok es su inmenso aeropuerto, luego la temperatura y la humedad de la ciudad (siempre entre 30/36 grados) y finalmente el caos del trafico, el ruido, la bulla y la contaminacion. Ir primero a China a sido un punto a favor nuestro para contrarestar el choque cultural, aunque este sea casi inevitable. Por recome...

We had to endure the worst road of the trip before entering Thailand - a sand swept, potholed road the width of a motorway and in the lashing rain. Apparently Bangkok Airways pay money to the Cambodian government not to resurface the road so they get more revenue from flights. Shocking. Coming into Bangkok you could tell it was like no other cit...

I arrived in Bangkok late on the 25th. I was informed that Bangkok is the most insane city in south east Asia. I soon realized that this was true. As soon as I got off the bus in Bangkok all began. I had stepped off the bus not minutes before a lady boy approached me. He/she asked me, "Where I go", and if I wanted to dance. Throughout the follow...

I arrived in BKK after another wonderful overnight bus. Why do I do this to myself? The bus saved 3,000 baht PLUS one night's accommodation. That's about 2.5 days of travel in Thailand, even if it is only $80USD. The samples of sleeping pills Jerramy gave me worked OK and I got about 5 hours sleep. I've had much worse. I didn't really spend much...
