We had our bag stolen from a bar in Bangkok the other night and my girlfriend had her Russian passport in it.

International and Domestic flights are now from Suvarnabhumi
airport, Bangkoks new airport. Unlike the old airport there is no rail
link to getting into Bangkok which means a bus or taxi. A taxi into central

Its difficult to imagine how everybody on the street can speak the same language and fool the tourists. We planned to visit the Grand Palace one fine morning and hence went there by the Chao Phya Express Boat. Got off at the nearest pier and headed towards the Grand Palace. Realizing that we are mov…

I had forgotten to bring my diabetes medicine with me to Bangkok, so my husband mailed it by UPS Express. Customs would not release it to me without a certificate of medical. I needed to see a doctor in order to get one. The Bangkok Christian Hospital wasn't too far from my hotel, so that's where I …

The other reviewers are absolutely right: Dahra Beauty & Spa is quite possibly Bangkok's best oasis of calm.

Wow, this is going back in the memory banks, but I figure Ill do my best. Basically, this is a fantastic city.
