Mittwoch, 19.07.17: Heute erwartet uns bereits das zweite Erlebnis: Eine Bike- und Boottour durch Bangkok. Vielen Dank Gerald und Julila! Nach dem wir am ersten Tag miterlebt haben, wie Straßenverkehr in Bangkok funktioniert, waren wir uns anfangs nicht sicher, ob ihr Zwei überhaupt wollt, dass wir wieder zurück nach Wien kommen... Schlussendlich war es aber eine sau coole Tour durch die abgelegenen Wohnbezirke, durch Chinatown, und durch die Flüsse und Kanäle Bangkoks. Unfassbar, wie wenig es braucht, damit sich etwas Asphalt einen Radweg nennen darf und wie sich dennoch auch Motorradfahrer als Radfahrer verstehen... Ein Überblick über die Radwege findet ihr in den Fotos... "Bangkok", so viel haben wir zumindest auf dieser Tour gelernt, heißt Land der Oliven, auch wenn wir hier noch keine gesehen haben. Als wir am Ende der Tour aus einem Boot aussteigen ... read more

There seems to be an overall high on the internet in various publications, maybe for fear negative posts will be removed. Though I am usually kinda high when travelling myself, and liking almost everything, so most of my stories would fit that frame, there was also something that I did not like about Bangkok.

They were also ultrasounded in that famous hospital for ... read more

Especially my Indian friends were rather upset when I send them this picture. They wondered what I had been up to. Honestly, I did not mutilate any Asian guy.......... just got rambutan fruit to go with my morning tea in the best of Bangkok resort. In spite of their somewhat awkward appearance,,, they tasted really good, better than lychees... read more

It definitely wasn't the first time and I'm sure it won't be the last but I get the feeling that what I had just done is something that just can't keep happening for much longer. It's just always the way though; the biggest night of partying almost always occurs the night before a travel day with a ridiculously early start. My dorm mates and I were still enjoying a drunken swim in the resort pool just three hours before I was due to leave for Bangkok. Drunk, tired and spaced out, I waited for my taxi to the pier. Keeping in theme with my time in the islands, it was bucketing down. Thankfully it was a sheltered pick-up truck rather than a motorcycle that came to pick me up. I got some decent sleep on the ... read more

Can hardly believe it - with rather mixed emotions we are waiting to board the flight home after 10 weeks of travelling. We crammed at lot into our short stay in Bangkok including a tour of temple and the amazing Grand Palace, the night market, relaxing by the pool and massages. Thank you for following us!... read more
