Bangkok Small Hotels - Reviews and Rates

(Before reading, notice that each post of mine (Robbie's) is getting longer and more in detail, Nic thinks I'm putting to much detail in and no one wants to know what time we woke up or had our first poo of the day, I disagree. Please feel free to leave your comments on this subject, as this blog is as much for you, our adoring fans, as it is fo...

Bangkok. An absolutely intoxicating Western style metropolis. After only being here for two days I can feel the city pulsing through my veins. No, I haven't had any of the local 'Brown Sugar' mom, don't worry. What I mean is that there is something human about the place that I haven't felt in a long time. Last night, as I finally layed down in m...

If you have ever been to the dryier parts of Australia and had to suffer from the flies that just seem to hang about you and bother you all day long, then the Tuk Tuks in Bangkok fall into the same category. They are an open ended carriage with motorised front, and they will take you anywhere. Most dont even have licences to drive, which can be ...

Bangkok is a city full of diversities and contrasts. Old town blends seamlessly with the new; the modern coexists peacefully with the traditional. But navigating Bangkok traffic is a daunting task and can be exhausting after a few days of sightseeing. What better way to change your pace by exploring a few tourist attractions on Bangkok's easterl...

Ah so I've been Thailand for bout 5days now. Bangkok has got to be the most developed city I've been to on my trip. They have a sky metro and well as an underground metro, Mega shopping and malls, and highways. We first arrived in Bangkok and were intially supposed to go to Phuket for some beach time (a neccesary part of my trip) but Phuket was ...

Our guesthouse doesn't have any plug sockets and I need to charge my phone/camera, so i'm having to sneakily charge it in the internet cafe and hope that the owner doesn't notice me stealing his electricity (or read my blog). While I'm here I thought I might as well add a bit more about Bangkok, as it is pretty amazing and I barely touched on it...

well, when I arrived in Bangkok two nights ago I thought I would save some money and took the train. Using the map I have I thought I had figured it all out when I found myself back at the airport about 45 minutes later. Hard to explain without a map. But I enjoyed hanging out the door of the train and the liked the really large open windows the...

I figured it was time for another bulk travel email, this time from Bangkok. Actually I reckon I owe you one from Bangkok this time last year...it's still in the workshop and will be available for general viewing...one day! But for now...after a year (almost!) of studying in Melbourne, I'm back in south-east Asia for a few weeks to sate the trav...

Day 134 - Tuesday 6 January Happy birthday to Mike, my wee bro. Firstly, to put Prof McCloy's mind at rest, we didnt find the safety box key so had to pay tenner for manager to open. Thankfully all our stuff was still in there. Got up at 12 and meet Geoff, Chris and Elle on the beach. We go to internet cafe and do Travelpod for last week. The th...

Well we've survived the first few days of the polluted city, even had a couple of trips in the motorised motorbikes (tuk-tuks) and survived that as well. Didn't feel like doing doing too much the first couple of days, due to the heat and jet lag, so we've only visited about 23 temples and palaces, we've seen buddhas standing, sitting, reclining,...
