Back in Bangkok again :)

Now I'm back in Bangkok again, flying to Sri Lanka on Sunday evening :)

Cheers!

Last days in Bangkok, Philippines next!

On Wednesday I went out for lunch with a Russian friend of mine who I met on the Great Wall in China, and since it was happy hour at the place we had late lunch it turned out to be a long night out. On Friday I tried the local boat transport on the Saen Saep Express Boat, this is a service mostly used by locals, so this was a dirty, but interesting experience.

On Saturday I went with my friend Yupapun to a nice park in the east of Bangkok, we rented a small boat for an hour and pedalled around in a lake full of fish. The hunt for ice cream was imminent since it was 34 degrees today, unfortunately they didn't sell any in the park so we had to get some later at the mall.

Nice park in the east of Bangkok with many European style gardens and a lot of water.

Nice flowers in the park, don't smell them if you're a guy

Birthday in Bangkok

This whole weekend I've been celebrating my birthday here in Bangkok. My good friend Sarah came all the way from Hong Kong to be here in Bankok for my birthday. On Friday we had some drinks at the huge hotel room we'd booked for the weekend. On Saturday we went out with a friend of mine who's from here, she took us to this really nice Thai restaurant for amazing food.

On March 7 I went with my friend to a place called Ancient Siam just outside of Bangkok. We drove around this huge park in a golf car and had some Chang on the way.

It was a really nice birthday celebration here in Bangkok. Thanks for all the birthday greetings everyone!

Greets from Bangkok!

Back in Bangkok

I left Thailand August 24 last year and now I'm back in Bangkok again after 6 months of travelling. It took some time to get used to the humid climate again, and the 4 hour time difference between Sydney and Singapore was really noticeable.

The flight today from Sydney to Bangkok was quite bumpy with a lot of turbulence as we were approaching Bangkok. A lot of thunderstorms around and even some hail. After a safe landing I went to immigration without any trouble, the only thing was that it took 1 hour for the bag to arrive... really annoying of course.

Well that's it for now, this weekend is the big birthday celebration weekend since my birthday is on Monday. I'm lucky enough to have my friend Sarah coming to Bangkok for the weekend to celebrate with me, so it will be a good celebration.

Cheers,

Singapore!

Now I'm back in Singapore after 3 months in Australia. The next plan is to fly to Bangkok and probably do some diving at the Similan Islands in the Andaman Sea.

Bangkok

We arrived in Bangkok 16th of August in the early morning after having spent 12 hours on a night bus... Really amazing how rude people can be, putting their seats as far back as possible.

After a small rest we went to the royal palace, and the area and all the buildings are really impressive.

After visiting the royal palace we went for a Longtail boat ride in the outskirts of Bangkok, we saw a lot of local people and an orchid farm. Unfortunately there was no floating marked, so need to go back during the weekend to see this.

Tuesday night we went for Thai Boxing at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, we bought tickets in the second class allowing us to be with the locals who were betting like crazy.

Wednesday night we went to the Dome skybar, and to Vertigo skybar. The Dome at the State Tower was definitely the better one. It was at the 64th floor, and at the top of this building there is a golden dome.

After the two skybars we went to a place called Bed Supperclub where we had a reservation for a three course dinner. The dinner, and the show going with the dinner "Alice in Wonder Thailand" was a really cool experience. After dinner and drinks the whole place was transformed into a club with good DJ's and a lot of people.
