We arrived in Bangkok and headed straight for familiar Khao San Road where we would stay a few days and get Holly's birthday weekend off to a great start. After a good fill at our favourite market stall (scrummy red curry and pad thai for 1 pound!!) we took a trip into the city on the Metro and Skytrain to the wonderful Siam Shopping Centre, where we mostly window shopped but Dee treated Holly to ...

Dee and Holly

Hiya, we are Dee and Holly from Northampton, England. We left home on 1st October 2009 to see the world and were away for 447 days in total. Our journey started in India, Nepal and Hong Kong then SE Asia then Australia and New Zealand and South America . We were home for Christmas 2010. We were looking forward to finding paradise and the perfect mojito, dabbling in adventure and making new friends along the way. Holly was a little worried about going without hair straighteners and having to 'pack light'. Dee... full info

Love it!!
Looks, like you had an amazing birthday. I have been to Thailand before but have never spent much time in Bangkok. This trip, however, I will be spending the weekend (June 18-20) there. This also happens to be my girlfriend birthday. So, would really love to speak to you about exactly where you stayed and some more details about the area, if you have the time. Thanks so much!

Birthday in BKK
The Chatachak Weekend Market is a MUST for people who love shopping (who doesn't!). Get a metered taxi or the No. 3 or No. 524 bus from Khao San Road area to market. We also liked the Suan Lum Night Bazaar by the Lumphini Metro station (we walked from the Banyon Tree Hotel) . Usual stuff plus loads of cool fashion boutiques.......I could have spent a fortune here!! We treated ourselves to dinner at the Banyan Tree's Vertigo Bar and Grill. Views are amazing and so is the food but it's pricey. The staff can organise a birthday cake for dessert if you email ahead. You could also just go to the bar at Vertigo....but you should book ahead for both. There's a dress code and people dress up, which makes a change nowadays! Shopping at MBK and Siam in city centre is also good. The IMAX cinema is in the Siam Centre. 3D tickets are 300B but worth it! Enjoy. Holly
