The Bangkok Blues

Mon, 26 Jan 2009 | By mazystar | Views [340] | Comments [15]

I've been in Bangkok for 24hrs now and I've been feeling a bit useless again - mainly because of the heat, the expensive hostel rooms, the tiny streets and the overbearing, swarming, constant crowds. I left Sihanoukville for Phnom Penh on the 24th.... Read more >

Friday 12 June So I’ve resorted to trimming my own fringe with a pair of nail scissors.   The results are questionable, but considering the overall state of my hair in this humidity, my fringe is the least of my appearance concerns.   Our 3 ... Read more >

Sun, 17 Jun 2007 | By travelheart24 | Views [374] | Comments [8]

Sawadeekaa friends :-) I'm really surprised at how much of a brain-bend it has been visiting Bangkok this week and seeing my friend from home. For starters it is understandably very different from when I was here 10 years ago. It is so much more modern ... Read more >

Thu, 29 Mar 2007 | By BigTripBlog | Views [488]

A while back I ditched my crappy travel tripod and have been carrying around my much sturdier (and larger) Slik tripod instead. Besides the obvious problem with its size and weight, it doesn’t fit in my pack the way my smaller one did. I had ... Read more >
