    • Day 69

      בנגקוק ×2

      December 8, 2023 in Thailand ⋅ 🌙 28 °C

      אנחנו מסכמים את הטיול המופלא שלנו בבנגקוק. בחרנו לישון הפעם באיזור אחר כדי לחוות עוד צד של העיר וממש אהבנו!
      העיר סואנת וגועשת 24/7, פקקים אינסופיים וקניונים עצומים מפוצצים באנשים.
      הלכנו לראות את הסרט החדש של משחקי הרעב ועשינו שופינג איכותי בטרמינל 21 ובקניון MBK.
      ככל שאנחנו מתקרבים אל הסוף אנחנו קולטים שדוריאן עוד רגע מתחיל את החיים האמיתיים בעוד שטל ממשיכה לכייף ביפן עם אבא.

    • Day 3

      Landed in Bangkok at six in the morning after a very sleepless ten hour flight. The flight itself was smooth & comfortable, but I couldn't get any sleep & the food was inedible. We sleepily made our way through the city in a bit of a daze & left our bags at the hotel. We had five hours until check-in so we went for a walk around the neighbouring park and found an office block with a nice food hall where we had some brunch. Its insanely hot here - I'm not sure I've packed well. After finally being able to check in, we slept the rest of the day.Read more

    • Day 40

      Around our condo

      February 6 in Thailand ⋅ ☀️ 34 °C

      Explored some areas within walking distance of where we are staying. It has been 39 degrees with the humidity, so late afternoon, the last couple of days we chilled in with the AC in the condo. Some cool malls are nearby with high-end stores. One great thing about backpacking is that there is no room to buy stuff. Chinese New Year celebrations are starting soon, so there are some decorations happening in various locations. It is amazing watching the traffic here and even more amazing there aren't more accidents. Crossing the streets is always an adventure. You have to make sure your head is on a swivel. There are quite a few massage parlors around, some with and some without "happy endings" offered. You can tell by how the masseuses dress outside the parlors. Red light districts are also common throughout Thailand. We went to one last night and found a fun bar with live music. Lots of Ladyboys here. Some are really hard to identify.Read more

    • Day 3

      Lovely thai dinner at I am aroi soi 11

      February 11 in Thailand ⋅ 🌙 27 °C

      Simple straight forward pad Thai style prawn noodles, stir fried greens with garlic & oyster sauce, and green papaya salad. Nearly £20 including a large beer & a stonkingly strong g&t for Sarah.
      Followed by cocktails in a live music covers band doing requests & people watching. Bryan Adams Summer of 69 followed by Pink Floyd's Another brick in the wall & Deep Purple's Smoke on the Water and all accompanied by a female singer who mostly made sounds like aggressive hiccups. Also street vendors selling dildos, vibrators & strap-ons and one old lady with teddy bears nearly the same size as her!

    • Day 30–32

      Bangkok

      February 9 in Thailand ⋅ ☀️ 95 °F

      We flew from Phuket to Bangkok, got picked up from the hotel in a beautiful Mercedes S class. I have never been in a sedan with reclining back seats. 😂 An hour later we arrived at the hotel, checked in and walked to an Italian restaurant down the street for a great (non asian) meal. Walked back to the hotel and went to bed.

      Day 2 - Woke up, got ready, had a cappuccino and got a cab ride to meet the group for a food tour. We sampled over 15 items, many of which I did not try, lol!!! We rode a tuk tuk, the water taxi and public bus. It was a fun experience in this overwhelming super busy packed city. We went to one the super large malls called MBK, the malls are so big you can’t possible even see everything. After the mall we got cleaned up and went to the rooftop bar at the hotel for a drink and appetizer before walking to dinner. I had the brilliant idea of stopping at an abandoned mansion for an additional drink but after 45 minutes of walking around, we never did find an entrance and Klaus was pissed and sweaty. We gave up and went to dinner at a super cool rooftop bar with live music and DJ. we decided that the walk was a bit too much and took a tuk tuk , which is a crazy experience in itself.

      Day 3 - Woke up, had a coffee and took a taxi to the Chatuk weekend market, there is over 8000 vendors and it would take all day to see everything. We had to get back to the hotel to change and check out. Our flight was not till 8pm so we walked to the Italian restaurant from the first day and had lunch, we had to order quick because there is no alcohol served from 2 to 5 every day in Bangkok. Kids get out of school and they don’t want them trying to sneak it. After lunch, we walked to another mall called terminal 21 this is designed like an airport with a bunch of levels and the most massive food courts taking up two floors I’ve ever seen. We stopped on the way back to the hotel for a final massage (I will miss these and the warm weather of course the most). A quick aperol on the walk back to the hotel where the car was waiting to take us to the airport.

    • Day 4

      Part 2 of cracking day 3

      February 12 in Thailand ⋅ 🌙 28 °C

      After we successfully navigated that (& I seemed to have bought more clothes) it was off to the floating market where we boarded our vessel for the adventure. I nearly sank it as I landed on my seat rather abruptly. Then it was to sample the wares. Some really special items on offer as you can see..😲😜
      And some impressive customised out board motors!!!
      We were dropped off at a "shopping centre" which apparently had bugs brands for sake somewhere but we enjoyed the madness of the ground floor stalls & eateries. Spit roast alligator was a new sight for me! Then off to find ourselves the ferry across the Chao Phraya river to get the SkyTrain & metro to our home neighbourhood of Nana. Ended the day with another foot massage - this rather surprisingly included my eyebrows neck scalp & arms!

    • Day 4

      Another cracking day

      February 12 in Thailand ⋅ 🌙 29 °C

      Early ish start to meet our tour for Maeklong Railway market & Floating market . The guide had tryed to stress the importance of avoiding being run over by the train as it pulls into station while stallholders move their produce. So we were feeling a little anxious about It was so crowded and we were walking along in-between narrow gauge rails on loose stones trying to avoid turning an ankle, being pushed over by yet another reversing Insta-moment cameraman or walking into the props for the stall tarps!!!
      But we were reassuringly reunited with our guy "A" and as he so accurately described it his "cock stick" aloft 🤣

    • Day 3

      Benchakitti Forst Park

      March 3 in Thailand ⋅ ⛅ 32 °C

      Die Nacht war, danke Jetlag, kurz, haben aber wie die Toten geschlafen. Nach dem Frühstück sind wir den Tag entspannt angegangen ( 19.827 Schritte ! 😂) Nicht weit von uns gibt's zwei wundervolle Parks und trotz Sonntag war absolut wenig los. Viele Seerosen, Bäume und ein Lauf- und Radstrecke. Danach auf der Green-Bridge Richtung Lumpini Park, vorbei an ursprünglichen Häusern von Bangkok.
      Im Lumpni Park fährt man nicht Schwan sondern Reiher!😂

    • Day 28

      Bangkok Landmark hotel

      January 3, 2015 in Thailand ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

      Kissé elfáradtunk, így a szoba elfoglalása után a szállodát majd a környéket fedeztük fel.
      Szerencsére nagyon közel már találtunk streetfood lehetőséget, azaz asztalra kicsapott nyers húsok/halakat nem túl felszerelt grill pultokkal. Szerintem gyomorforgató, Tomi szerint ígéretes. Mivel a 36óra nem alvás és éhség nálam már kezdődő hisztirohamban csúcsosodott ki, inkább gyáva módon a 7emeletes luxusáruház tetején lévő vapiano rendszerű étteremben ettünk. Itt lehetett választani thai, koreai, vietnami, kinai, japan stb kaják közül. Minden friss, finom és iszonyú csipős volt.
      Fojtásnak még bedobtunk - az egészségügyi pálinkaután - pár mohitot.
