I loved Chiang Mai as soon as I stepped outside the airport. The weather was reminiscent of a summer day in Northern Cal http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Thailand/Central-Thailand/Bangkok/blog-786725.html Here we go http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Thailand/Central-Thailand/Bangkok/blog-786206.html Os avioes tem destas coisas...catapultamnos para outras realidades como maquinas do espaco.Acabo de limpar as remelas levantome do chao do aeroporto e meio incredulo meio curioso comeco a ver ja gente diferente de olhos em bico e roupa ocidental. Na face das pessoas lese calma e gentileza.Estou em Bangkok e sinto que sei andar aqui como se estivesse em casa. Tudo tao bonitinho e apresenta http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Thailand/Central-Thailand/Bangkok/blog-786134.html When I was in the Center of Thailand on my last vacation I also visited Pattaya . It39s about 165 kilometers from Bangkok with over 2 million visitors that come each year. Most of the people coming here are coming to Pattaya for the blatant sex tourism but this is reason why some people travel Thailand anyways though right. I39ve read that Pattaya is trying to clean up its image and t http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Thailand/Central-Thailand/Pattaya/blog-786013.html When I was in the Center of Thailand I visited the city of Kanchanaburias well. It39s about 130 kilometers from Bangkok and it39s a major tourist attraction. Most people visit Kanchanaburi with the aim of exploring the history surrounding the Death Railway Bridge a remnant from World War II.So what is the Death Railway anyway It was an arduous undertaking on the part of the Imperial Japa http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Thailand/Central-Thailand/Chanthaburi/blog-785751.html Siam Center the Urban Art39s storage why so Well people do you love urban art Do you love fashion Urban style You will be glad to visit Siam Center. This mall...or I could say these malls as you know Siam is a location that full with mallsback to Siam Center this mall caught my attention because it was accommodating art from head to toe. As you can witness yourself from my pictures http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Thailand/Central-Thailand/Bangkok/blog-785390.html When I went to Pattaya I went there to meet up with my Danish friend Bo and to celebrate NYE there. The plan was to celebrate it with Bo39s brother and sister in law who lives there but she delievered her baby on the day I arrived so we wnt out on our own instead. And the Thai people really know how to party. We watched some women outside a bar getting really exited by pllaying with fire http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Thailand/Central-Thailand/Pattaya/blog-785018.html Hier ein Paar Bilder vom Trip http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Thailand/Central-Thailand/Bangkok/blog-784556.html Zunaechst mal wird mein Vater heute 55 also Happy Birthday Papa und alles Gute fuer das kommende Jahr DSascha und ich sind nun in Bangkok angekommen vor zwei Naechten um 1 Uhr nachts. Kaum im Hotelzimmer sind wir los ins Nachtleben seit 2 Monaten hatten wir beide nicht mehr richtig gefeiert und hatten viel Feierenergie aufgestaut Nachdem der erste super volle Club dann um 4 zu gemacht ha http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Thailand/Central-Thailand/Bangkok/blog-784522.html AmphawaIt had been quite some time since I woke up at 6am in the morning. We were supposed to be giving alms to the monks who will be rowing down the river.It was a beautiful and peaceful morning. However the 2 of us were too sleepy to notice much. I just merely let my fingers do the clicking.As it was a Monday morning Amphawa felt very much like a dead town. No shops or anything was open. They http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Thailand/Central-Thailand/Ampawa/blog-784472.html I seriously think it is terrible to travel with workaholics as they would always be too exhausted from their work to have any energy left for other forms of travelling shopping or fun.Needless to say the both of us slept through breakfast missing out on our 1st hotel breakfast. By the time we finally got ourselves out of the hotel it was close to noon. Ha. So much for coming to the shoppin http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Thailand/Central-Thailand/Ampawa/blog-784338.html This is not my first trip to Bangkok and I doubt that this will ever be the last as well. It is always fun to have such short getaway to a shopping paradise.Anyway this is my friend39s first trip hence I wanna try to make it such that he will get to see as much of Bangkok as possible as well as to let this be a selfrecovery trip for myself. For things had been tough and I needed this sho http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Thailand/Central-Thailand/Bangkok/blog-784134.html I have traveled throughout Thailand and most of Southeast Asia exstensively since 1993 and have seen the region change and prosper. What I have learned and grown with are the friends people and clients that have been with me from my first trip.The dollar and the cost of living enabled me to stay in the finest hotels on that continent and to have realized the quality and craftmanship of clothing http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Thailand/Central-Thailand/Bangkok/blog-783989.html I am trying to see if its possible to upload from my iPad.I am so excited and hope to see that I can continue to blog just using my iPad.Update The blogging was alright. But the format didn39t come out the way I wanted it.This post was blogged on May 2nd 2013 however to have a better flow on the list of journals. It was reposted as Jan 4th 2013. AMPHAWA BANGKOKI39ll be blogging i http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Thailand/Central-Thailand/Bangkok/blog-783978.html It feels like this trip has been such a long time coming. Weve been counting down to it for almost a year and were only going to be gone for a month.Still Im loving it so far. Theres something so strangely familiar about travelling like Ive come home somehow. Even though it can drive me crazy theres something beautifully satisfying about the whole mess of it the have I http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Thailand/Central-Thailand/blog-783819.html Well I39m safely in Bangkok and met up with Chris with no stress or complications. I did perform my biggest cockup for a couple of months though by leaving my ATM card in the machine at the airport. It was bound to happen at some point. Happily I have been able to use my reserve card with no stress and it39ll fund my month in Myanmar before I pick up the replacement card in Bangkok in l http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Thailand/Central-Thailand/Bangkok/blog-783488.html Hello everyoneToday I finally picked up Wanda from the airport. I already arrived yesterday here in Bangkok and I must say it is quite the experienceUpon arrival for me it was about 5 o39clock and I took an hour long cab ride to the hostel Wanda already booked for the two of us. The guy didn39t turn on the meter but I was too tired to say anything about it. It costed me 400 baht.. The pers http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Thailand/Central-Thailand/Bangkok/blog-782942.html We are now at the end of our journey..or is it just the beginning hmm.We spent 4 days in Koh Chang doing absolutely nothing and loved every second of it. We were feeling slightly burnt out and needed a few days before Bangkok to just chill. Koh Chang is the second largest Thai island after Phuket so there was much to see not that we did That would39ve interrupt our daily layonthebeachan http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Thailand/Central-Thailand/Bangkok/blog-782835.html Dj 4 jours Bangkok Je suis en amour avec cette ville J39ai ador le vol avec Qatar Airways Le depart de Montral 23h et l39arrive ici en matine fait que l39on a pratiquement pas ressenti les effets du dcallage horaireDepuis que nous sommes arrivs Emmanuelle Malcolm et moi nous avons fait plein de petites choses et tout se droule selon les plans Nous avons http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Thailand/Central-Thailand/Bangkok/blog-782203.html A few random snippets from to give a flavour of SE Asia and OZSE Asia and Oz from Charles Green on Vimeo.Or you can go to this link don39t worry this one is only 2minutes longhttpvimeo.com64341697 http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Thailand/Central-Thailand/Bangkok/blog-781846.html
