On the top floor of the MBK/Tokyu-mall (444 Phayathai road, near Siam square, Bangkok) all the Thai movies are subtitled in English.

Bangkok has a new airport, one that took 44 years for planning. The airport, although impressive, looks oddly similar to KL airport. 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…

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 …

1. Carry your business cards. When you meet someone new and want to connect later, it's a handy way to share your contact info. This is really great if you end of taking photos of each other and want to share them later.

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.

One of the easiest ways to get around in Bangkok is just taking the local buses. Yes it may be a bit of a hassle to find the right one, but usualy it's enough to ask one of the locals, and they wil tell you. It's a cheaper way then taking taxi everywhere (10 baht VS 250 baht).
However in the after…

There's too many temples,…

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…

Bangkok is a very easy city to get around in. Especially if you are coming in to the train station. Attached to the train station is the subway, which also runs into the Sky Train. The Sky Train is by far one of the easiest and fastest ways to get around town. If you have the balls I would recom…
