What (no pun intended) would a trip to Thailand be without a story about the majestic elephant? Well let us tell you, it would be a rather naff trip, so rest assured we have conjured one up for you... But first, we were telling you about our Wat adventures ... Read more >

Dave and Jen arrived in Bangkok International Airport to be met with another hour long wait in the immigration line to be processed for visas.  Looking around in the queues, it was quite interesting seeing your typical 20 year old tourist heading to ... Read more >

Bangkok Dangerous

Thu, 15 Jul 2010 | By blackntan210 | Views [540]

I've decided I like trains much less after having been on one for what seemed like forever and not being able to sleep at all on it. I arrived in Bangkok at "O dark hundred," tired, cranky and starving.  I then had to to get a cab to my ... Read more >

Trekking Part 1

So now we know the meaning of the phrase 'i'm sweating buckets'... Chiang Mai was not what we thought it would be, not in a bad way though. It was suprisingly quiet and small for a city although having come from somewhere as vast as Bangkok, it is easy ... Read more >

Chiang Mai a breath of fresh air!

Wed, 14 Jul 2010 | By olivercl | Views [607]

We flew Thai Air from Bangkok to Chiang Mai and WOW what a difference from China Eastern.  It was as if we were flying in 2010 instead of 1990 (which is what it felt like on China Eastern - of course it was compounded by the fact that we were in ... Read more >

Bangkok by Day and Night (Part Three)

Mon, 12 Jul 2010 | By olivercl | Views [667]

For our last night in Bangkok we decided to check out a bit more of the nightlife scene in the Sukhumvit area.  It is also near the more seedier area of Bangkok and we saw a lot older foreign men with (surprisingly not so attractive BUT much younger) ... Read more >

Good morning from Chiang Mai! This is probably the earliest that we have started this holiday which is surprising considering the eleven hour over-night bus journey that we have just endured. On to that later though. So yesterday, we decided to seize ... Read more >

Bankok by Day... and Night! (Part Two)

Sun, 11 Jul 2010 | By olivercl | Views [618] | Comments [1]

Chinatown made the other parts of Bangkok we'd seen seem mellow by comparison.  Narrow streets with shop goods and street vendors taking op their share.  Countless pedestrians, stray cats and dogs, motor bikes, vendors with carts, bicycles and, yes, ... Read more >
