Bangkok to Bali Overland, part in the bowels of Bangkok

The mission was to go on tour most of Asia from Bangkok to Bali for the land the land, I dive and brought all my equipment. The weather was not a factor, but I wanted to do it as cheaply as possible.

The drive from my hotel in Bangkok began on Suhkumvitt. I wanted to cheat and take a taxi, but when I asked how long it would take, he said, depended on how bad was the traffic jam! It is encouraging to hear a thing, soI took the Sky train for 15 baht to the new subway system and then for 26 baht, I took that by the end of the line at Hua Lampong, which is the main railway station in Bangkok.

The sky train was quiet, but always in the subway system was frankly a pain in the ass, was the first thing I came across a security guard, and he wanted my luggage, fair enough, but please check point for the bag to look for you! It seemed that he wanted me to empty all 3 of the bag on the tableI had to look no, I was happy with him, he saw a small bag which I pointed and said, go ahead.

Then, after I have everything back on my back and went in the right direction, I shared made the cones and caught my suitcase, as I wanted to take the escalator up to me all twisted because I watch a few of the combinations Popular items I have developed under the guidance of a salty sea captain and rose to his intestinesBangkok. I went into the car, the cards have no problem, I'm going to walk through the turnstile, which is very narrow.

Now the sky train the security men open the door, scan the ticket and no drama, but the underground people try to find out at some point that at me as an employee can only go through the doors by lost. They will not let you hand your stuff in the first, again, because it is completely up to me, I managed after two attempts, through with my 3 bags.

Now Ineed to share two days before I bought a new bag in Cambodia and, of course, have the case dismissed him, and I'm pulling roll instead of what is suppose to do. For me, reason number 587 to leave - Cambodia Products less (sic).

UN body calls for end to Aids travel curbs

The United Nations joint programme on HIV/Aids has called for the 52 countries that still impose entry restrictions on HIV-infected people to repeal those controls. At a meeting in Bangkok, Michel Sidibe, who heads the UN HIV/Aids programme, known as Unaids, said that travel restrictions are not justified by public health considerations and amount to denial of human rights. Singapore is one of the nations that still impose entry restrictions for HIV-infected people. But, as Laura Kyle reports, these restrictions have not only failed to prevent a rise in HIV cases in Singapore, they have made life extremely difficult for those with the disease. (April 4 2010)

Tailored in Bangkok - What to expect

I attended a travel fair in Bangkok last summer and had just enough free time, 2 days to visit a tailor-made suit. Bangkok and many other Asian cities are great places to visit a tailor for custom-made shirts suits, jackets and other clothing at an affordable price. But it is better to be prepared and understand the process before jumping in and taking advantage of that $ 99 offer. Here's a guide on what to expect.

In almost all largeAsian city, business by business of selling souvenirs, t-shirt vendors, jewelers, tailors and invite you to come and see. "But beware, if you do not really want a dressed and ready, $ 300 for a dress go and spend two pieces of fabric with a decent quality. Anything less and you can even get off the shelf at K-Mart.

Most shops are small, but some may be part of a larger chain. Does not really matter for your purposes. All are taken only with boltsTissue that your measurements and sends them to a factory for the actual cutting and sewing. Some can even buy very high-tech. You can store your measurements in a database, and you can order new clothes or shirts or pants by e-mail and credit cards.

The hearing

The operator or the owner (who has the authority to negotiate) will ask you what you are looking for. Tell a dress or a jacket, but you are looking for now. He will speakThey are very friendly and offer you a cold beer. He will ask you to sit down and show a photo book of models of different kinds of clothes to find what you are interested in. If you have committed, and six employees on track for a new dress.

Once a style (buttons 1, 2 or 3, single or double breasted, the type of collar, back-center or side vents, etc.), it is called substance. He will tell you the difference between true and false cashmere cashmerewoolen fabrics (also called polyester), by burning a small sample with a lighter and then continue to assure you that he only wants the best for you and material information that the 99 "price is based on polyester fabric. succumb to accept that you really want the real wool.

Note that these guys are not role models for style, not necessarily a good job, you have the right kind of dress or jacket for your purposes. But the leaders are doing something goodDecisions.

While avoiding the initial discovery process, the tailor, who have a price, but when you decide how many suits, shirts, ties, etc. He finally put together a package price for you. This is, after all, when the process begins. Bargain hard and firm and ready to walk. So he can throw extra shirts or ties to finally seal the deal.

Sizes and original equipment

Once you agree on a price, the tailor takes measurements.You need a minimum of 2 days for the process, but 3 is better. Within the first few days, you have your first fitting. I'm in the shop again to the real Schneider, hit a rough cut of the important pieces. It occurs to ensure that the width and length are correct and working chalk and pen, the exact locations for final assembly. They will return to the store the next day for another fitting.

The fitting according to

The second installation is complete the suiteand tailor or shop owners will do their best to convince you that it is well if you try it on. But here is where it's a good idea, someone with you for your concerns with your shoulders too tight, sleeves too long, or whatever might be the problem of validation. Be firm and tell them what you want to achieve, and will tolerate. However, if the dress fits really here then you're done!

Final assembly

be done after the last change, SchneiderYou probably want to deliver to your hotel. This reduces the possibility that it may refuse. You could also send someone who does not speak English very well, so if something is wrong, you have a hard time articulating them. However, if it still does not fit your company and ask for more changes. You can request a visit to the shop again.

Lessons Learned


While it may create a custom color in less than a day, you should have at least 3 days to ensure that it fits better.
Have you tried all your sessions in the workshop, because they are more likely to favor.
Get the best material to afford.
Use a tailor-made to your measurements and you can save up some new clothes online at any time thereafter.
Clothing for Women ', more time for additional equipment. The consensus is that you need 4 to 7 days.

Patpong red light district of Bangkok - Travel Tips for beginners

Las Vegas is the title of Sin City. But Bangkok wins hands down for the title of capital sin. With its multitude of red-light district, Patpong is the only one who looks exclusively for men the pleasures of the flesh. You can foreign tourists with their children mixing between the densely Patpong Night Market to buy counterfeit goods, stone-throwing from one operation to see go-go bars with bikini woman shuffled, swing on the slopes of latest hip-hop beats. Their sensual movements attract male customers within gawking as bait, a fish.

Patpong is located between two main roads and streets Surawongse Silom, near the business district on the move. Although there are foreign visitors, the Patpong Night Market, at the latest knock-off luxury goods shop international business, are most of these visitors are shopping for a deal in flesh trade. Technically, prostitution is illegal.Government s> Bangkok 'has announced a crackdown on the sex industry and was an effort to clean the streets. However, nothing has changed, and the proclamation withered and waned.

Go Go bars as groups of King's Entertainment on Soi Patpong is very popular with Western tourists, but is gaining in popularity with Asian tourists as Japanese. Soi Patpong red light district is the epicenter of this name. This is exactly where the PatpongNight market in the road open from 17:00 a 02:00 clock. The booths are lined in two columns, where you can find fakes of any kind, such as Coach, Rolex, Tiffany and more fashionable clothes. You can also find some great local souvenirs, but these are usually at higher prices. So difficult to treat.

All Go Go bars, clubs and water points open and close at 7 o'clock to 01 o'clock or face the specter of a police officer asking for bribes in order to avoid a ticket. The beers are alldecent price, if to compare prices back to your country of origin. They have a variety of beers, but the inside is not that what most men go.

All Go Go bars are usually full of drunks and eager Johns packed by 9:00, sweating like sardines, with flows of the first women to their clients to hotels short time, a block away, and one upstairs. Most bars and clubs in Patpong to male customers fairly, but there are some peopleI prefer 's Bangkok third sex known as "Lady-Boys", or katoey in Thailand. Most of the guys and women can go for a real woman, if so, what you want or not want to make sure that you ask.

The gay scene has certainly not neglected in Patpong. The rules and laws of supply and demand, particularly in Thailand, where thousands of open and closet gay gay Silom flock of 2:04, the center of nightlife. These roads are only a block away from Soi Patpong and is the largest road that is fullfilled with bars and gay Go-Go farms. For some reason gay establishments in the neighborhood are allowed after the plants that are straight men to justice.

Patpong is certainly one of the most visited places in Bangkok. It 's weird mixture of sex and counterfeit goods in a strange bed fellows that still attract people from around the world. The sites, sounds and lights burn an unforgettable experience that you have to believe. If you thinkVisit Bangkok Patpong I suggest you go for it. Do not be intimidated. Just go with the flow.

Statistics World travel for vagabonds

This is the intersection where dreams and reality collide. So many were led to believe that, one year suspended to travel the world and must sacrifice everything they have worked for the completion of a large loan from the bank, and basically keep in your life.

And this is when they dared to even dream of traveling the world.

To help you understand the obstacles (both real and imaginary), which can travel in, a look into my world > Travel statistics.

First, a brief introduction about the trip. My wife and I recently took a sabbatical and traveled through Southeast Asia, India and Nepal. We bought one-way ticket to Bangkok, traveled by train (and the occasional bus or boat) and ate most of Street Food (which tend to be healthier than cooked in front of you). We lived modestly, but not unpleasant. And 'possible but should not do what we have for 30% less.

These are the worldStatistics Travel>

Cost of living: $ 1,300. This included private rooms for two, sometimes with air conditioning, and a series of Street Food. Maybe once a week we would take in a show or a nice dinner. Alcohol has been limited because of the relative value is ridiculous, in third world countries (a beer costs more than a bungalow in South East Asia). If you intend to drink, you should budget 1:59 dollars for each drink in this part of the world.

VisaRates: $ 80 per month. Different places like Thailand and Singapore do not require visas for Americans, although some (including Nepal and Vietnam) are quite expensive and increases costs for entry into certain areas.

Flights: $ 2700 We bought a one way ticket to Bangkok, and a way back from Moscow, which has pushed the price significantly. to have the same amount, we could make a series of World Ticket, with 8:00 to 10:00 receivedDestinations. The problem was that $ 5,400 was too much money to be paid in advance (we were working on the road).

Trains: $ 2000. I admit, this is an estimate because not keep receipts for all our trips. If you were in Southeast Asia, remain instead of taking the train from Beijing to Moscow, like us, you can only spend half of that amount.

Total 21 260 spent two: $ Not. Bad. For less than $ 1,000 per month per person, we could makewhat most people only dream of. I hope to travel the world of statistics allow to realize that the world is not seen as expensive as you might think. Of course, you could go to Europe and spend twice that amount, or go to Africa or South America for a bit 'more, but have learned the lesson is this: there, to make the numbers. Try to eliminate all monthly expenses at home, and on the road!

Eating and Drinking in Bangkok

Bangkok is one of the largest cities in the world for food, is everywhere! You can choose between a food street vendor, small family restaurants, take mid-range restaurant chains in shopping malls, International, Fast food restaurants and Michelin star.

Whether you want Bangkok Pad Thai, chicken and rice, pizza, Indian curry or a Zinger burger ... has it all!

A lot of people I know return from Bangkok to say that the food was not cheap aspredicted. When I ask where it is eaten, the usual answer: "Oh, at the hotel bar. You can pay the allowances for food in Bangkok, if you want, when you are ready to look and maybe then you eat in research simple family restaurants, is the legendary food tasty and very cheap Thai.

Here I will provide an overview of recommendations of the personal nature of the property since you are in Bangkok together with some.

Street Food Vendors

It is abit cliche ', but it is true that the best food in Bangkok is street food vendors. Certainly, the environment less healthy, but I just love the atmosphere and the feeling of food intake on the side of a busy street, sat on a plastic chair! You will find these set-up throughout the city to find, usually a group of people with their specialties with their car. The most common dishes are chicken and rice (Khao Man Gai), pork on red rice (Khao Daeng muu) Pad Thai, manyTypes of noodle soup and various curries. Just be adventurous and in case of doubt, in the language you can always do what you want to show! They always have a glass of Thai style ice cream milk shake on the contrary, when something unexpectedly sharp! I always find the milk is much better than water for cooling down mouth.

Good advice from a local, if you're not sure which provider to choose, go to the most popular. This means that generally the food is tasty and safe. I never had problems eatingStreet Food.

Other items for sale include various grilled meats on a stick and servings of fruit. My favorites are the various vendors that line the wall of Lumpini Park in the evening in the parking lot along Ratchadamri Road. The stands of Patpong / Silom area are also very popular.

Thai family restaurants

The Thai Family Restaurant something that many foreigners never know. Lots of people are away to put on the appearance of mild these organisms arerather difficult to find people and many simply do not know that there are. It might at first seem like someone who has left home overlooking the doors slide open. Look closely and you can the old aunt or grandmother of the family cook pasta or chicken cut in front of the store to see! The wall decoration is generally very simple, thin metal tables, plastic chairs and bare. The decorations are just spirit houses by providing daily from Fanta and portraits of past and present Royalswill be hung on the walls.

The food is not of this world and always at a reasonable price. The menu selection is of course much broader than those of street vendors. Also look out for fish dishes are some extra spicy! Yam Mun Sen (spicy seafood salad with pasta) is also one of my favorites.

A good choice in terms of location Lek seafood is not far from Chong Nonsi Skytrain Station.

Chain Restaurants

There are many good quality and fair price chainRestaurants in Bangkok, usually at supermarkets and malls to watch. Here listed are the most important:

Bar BQ Plaza - my personal favorite, I eat here on every visit! Heated first with a mini-gas grid in the center of the table, has also set a bit 'thick moat of water around the outside. You order plates of meat and vegetables and cook / cooking yourself. There will be some dip, lime, garlic and chilli, which can combine dataAs you like.

Daidomon - in line with the Bar BQ Plaza, unless actually in a small grill to your table instead!

Fuji - a very popular chain of Japanese restaurants, all the usual range of sushi, gyoza, tempura, curry and more.

Oishi - Another great favorite with the Thai. There are many variations on the theme, but must be paid basically a Japanese buffet restaurant, a price and eat anything you want. to serve the biggest sushi, Teppanyaki(Custom) products and various Chinese foods, which are rotated.

See Fah - offers a good selection of Thai cuisine.

Sizzler - arrive early, because these places are filling fast! Popular with Thais and tourists, this is an American filling-ya-face Steak House with an extensive menu and western unlimited salad. It could seriously overweight, if you ate here every day!

MK - similar concept at the Plaza Bar BQ, but here all cook their own food. Serve hot spots menuMoreover, the duck is a favorite place.

Pizza Company - Despite its name, this is a Thai pizza chain, but they sell all favorite pizza toppings, garlic bread, etc. similar to the standard Pizza Hut pizza and something too expensive, but it is filling a well, if a pizza has to be repaired!

I'm sure there are more than I lost, but it covers the most important choices!

International Restaurants

There are a number of Italian, French, English, American, Indian restaurants, etc. etc. and around BangkokI do not want groped categorize here! Wherever you stay, you will probably be more than a few in your area. The main objective of European food law is around Silom and Sukhumvit areas lower. Japanese cuisine is great Soi Thaniya (Little Tokyo) direct on Silom (near Pat Pong). This is also the ideal place to watch people, an hour spent in one of those Japanese restaurants, come and go and see an endless procession of Japanese executives and in some groups, somealone. Some read newspapers, read some comics (!!). All with a phone glued to their ears or iPhone!

Arabic and Indian food is abundant in Plön and Chit Skytrain Nana station and surround Sois. I like Mrs Balbir's Indian Restaurant on Sukhumvit Soi 11 / 1 (Nana Skytrain station). For a cracking pizza, try Pizza Bangkok Sukhumvit Soi 26 / 1

Fast food

You can solve your get enough of KFC, McDonald's and Burger King across Bangkok ....I!

Luxury Restaurants

If you fancy a shopping in terms of luxury restaurants, there are also plenty of choice. For the location, try the top of Vertigo Banyan Tree Hotel on Sathon Road (weather permitting of course!).

Baan Khania off (Sukhumvit Soi 23) is an award winning Thai restaurant and La Normandie in the Oriental Hotel offers great food and wonderful views of the Chao Phraya River.

There are many, many more, but of course I have to save before I can afford to visitmore!

bad food experiences are rare in Bangkok, adventurous only, and not just an option to decide Hotel room service and get out and explore what in your area. If you have further suggestions to add to this list please feel free to let me know and I will be happy to add your contribution to my list.

Custom clothes in Bangkok - What to Expect Made

I attended a travel fair in Bangkok last summer and had just enough time off for two days to visit measure of the towns have their own color. Bangkok, Asian and many others are to visit places great shirts, a tailor tailored suits , custom, jackets and other clothing at an affordable price. But it is better equipped to be and to understand the process before jumping in and taking advantage of that offer $ 99. Here's a quick guide to what to expect.

In almost all largeAsian city, shop after shop, souvenir sellers, vendors of t-shirts, jewelers, tailors and invite you to come and "look". But be careful to go, if you really want a dress and are willing to spend up to $ 300 for a two-piece dress with a fabric of decent quality. Everything that gets less, and may also be off the rack at K-Mart.

Most shops are small, but some may be part of a larger chain. Not very important for your purposes. All are taken only by boltsTissue that can make your measurements and send them to a factory for the actual cutting and sewing. Some may be very high tech now. They store the measures in a database, and you will be able to order new dresses or shirts or pants by e-mail address and credit card.

The hearing

The operator or the owner (who has the authority to negotiate), will ask what you are looking for. They tell a dress or a jacket, but you're just looking for now simple. He is committed toYou are very friendly and offer a cold beer. He will ask you to sit down and show a photo collection of models to withstand different types of clothes to find what you are interested in. If you do, you are addictive and on track for a new dress.

Once you select a style (1, 2 or 3 buttons, double or single breasted, collar type of back-center or side vents, etc.), it is you want to talk substance. He shows you the difference between genuine and fake cashmere cashmerewoolen fabrics (also known as polyester) Continue burning a small sample with a lighter and then to ensure that only wants the best material for you and for the price of $ 99 based on polyester fabric. Succumb to agree that you really want the real wool.

Note that these boys is not a model of style and not necessarily a good job to advise the right type of dress or jacket for your purposes. But they are leading to a lot 'Decisions.

During this initial process of discovery, the Schneiders will avoid a price, but when it decides how many suits, shirts, ties, etc. He finally put together a package price for you. This is, after all, where the negotiation begins. Bargain hard and stay away and be prepared to walk., So he can throw extra shirts or ties to finally seal the deal.

Measurements and the first mounting

Once you agree on a price, the tailor takes measurements.You need a minimum of two days for the process, but three is better. Within the first few days, you have your first test. You will return in store, the real Schneider, is a rough cut of the most important pieces to be met. It will examine to ensure that the width and length are fine and chalk and pen the exact spots for the final assembly. We return to the store to come the next day for another device.

According to the fitting

When the second installation of the entire suiteand tailor or shop owners will do their best to persuade that fits correctly when you try on it. But here, where there is a good idea to have someone with you to confirm your concerns with the shoulders too narrow, too long sleeves, or whatever the problem. Be strong and tell them what you want to do and will tolerate. However, if the dress fits really at this point then you are done!

Final assembly

be made after the last change, Schneiderprobably want to deliver to the hotel. This reduces the possibility that rejected him. You can also send someone does not speak English very well, so that if something is wrong it must articulate a difficult time. If, however, is not always the right balance is strong and demand more changes. You can request a visit to the shop again.

Lessons Learned


While able to produce a custom color in less than a day, it is better to have at least 3 days available ensuring that fits better.
Have all your meetings in the shop, because it is more likely to attempt to settle there.
Get the best material you can afford.
Use a tailor-made to save the measurements and can be ordered online with new clothes, at any time after.
For women's clothes, more time for additional equipment. The consensus is that you need 4-7 days.
