Imagine...... a great hour long massage every day for just about no money. Well ifyou know me (or Brnedon) thats just about the closet to heaven you can get. It's day 2 of our honeymoon & we love Bangkok. Well so far we're finding Bangkok great! It was really sad saying goodbye to everyone at the airport - we shed a tear or two when we passed through customs & I did again on the plane. But we're really excited and so far loving Bangkok. We flew in at about 3am NZ time, getting to our hotel at about 4.30 / 5am (I'd been up at 5.30 am that morning to go to my final Les Mills class), and although we were shattered, we wanted to stretch our legs after the plane flight, so we went ... read more

Hello viewers! Found a computer that has let us update the website at last! Arrived 07.00am in Bangkok, sat next to some random bloke who believe it or not supported wycombe!!!(Loser) anyway our accomodation was called lampuhouse and was down this little side alley (looked dodgy) but it turned out good, especially for 6 pounds a night for 2 of us! Slept most of the first day (9.00am-5.00pm) , Just as well cause Bangkok is a @#$% hole (sorry for the language). Did some shopping down the night market (kho san rd ) and a bit of drinking which is the best thing about it. Saw this brillant beer glass (1ft tall!!) but was a bit to hard to pinch! Thats about all for Bangkok, we moved on as soon as we could!!! Next stop Chaing ... read more

We arrived into Bangkok airport at about 3pm after a good flight then we were taxing across the run way we looked out the window and there was a golf course in the middle of it!! We thought of you Dad but I'm sure that's a course you would be quite happy not to play on! Once we wandered out of the airport into the Thai heat (which felt great compared to the cold, icey, wet weather we'd been used to in the UK!) we got an airport bus into Bangkok to the Koh San Road. We headed to a couple of hotels to check for vacancies but they were full up so when we came to ours we were hot and bothered and quite frankly couldn't be bothered to walk anymore so we checked into ... read more

We headed to Bangkok once more, in order to catch our scheduled flight to Hong Kong. Delighted to hear that Steve's folks - Hazel and Derek - will be jetting out to see us there. Before we flew on, we concocted an evil plan to buy all the Thai souvenirs that we really wanted in our heart of hearts but had been put off by having to lug it around on our back of backs. Nothing too crazy, just a few elephant foot umbrella stands, a life size emerald Buddha and the complete works of Jeffrey Archer in hardback. I am sure our unsuspecting mules will squeeze it all into their suitcases somehow. Bangkok is still the frenetic, crazy 24 hour hub it was the first time round. We felt we hadn't really done it justice ... read more
