I really love the Siroco bar on the roof of the State building. The view was amazing and although the drinks were very pricey (almost equal to San Francisco) it was worth checking out. The rooftop bar at the Banyan Tree hotel was also lovely.

It is however very eco-friendly with a water cooling system operated thorough the entire site. Having been launched over a year ago, it is still under deployed but o...

An informal poll of my female friends has suggested that Naria Phad shopping center is the best place to go for Thai Souvenir arts and crafts, leather goods, and the latest fashions in knock off purses. Outside of the Chatuchak weekend market, this indoor bazaar is possibly the cheapest bar...

Thailand customs sucks! They are horrendous and they are slow. Perhaps the only country beating them at this is Indonesia. You would think that after building a new state of the art Airport, they would design it in such a way that the flow of people works better.
But, at last - I have found ...

The weekend market is amazing! We went there all bleery eyed after quite a heavy night, but we still had a great time. Haggle on everything and have a banana smoothie at one of the stalls, they are the best.

We brought traveler's cheques to Thailand and had no problem cashing them, banks are everywhere. But ATM's are so much more convenient and give you a better exchange rate. Bring an ATM card and forget the cheques.

7-11 stores are everywhere in Thailand. I saw them in just about every town I was in from Chiang Mai to Ko Lanta and Bangkok is flooded with them. I hate to see them taking business from the local market owners and I also hate to say that they are the perfect place to get your basic traveler shopp...

Just came back from Thailand and got severely ripped off because I didn't do enough homework.
Remember to bargain for everything. Even if you are at a TAT travel agent. These Thai people see foreigners as a HUGE dollar sign and will rob you blind if you let them.
