Dreadlocks and Ladyboys (Bangkok Part 2)

Through all the dazzle and glory of Bangkok's economy and culture lies massive amounts of pollution and Western influence. The photos above were taken from a longboat on Bangkoks main river, Chao Phraya. Los Angeles has nothing on this! The taste of pollution and raw sewage in many places...

Dreadlocks and Ladyboys

Finally completing the intensive traveling (and jetlagged) part of my trip is a godsend, and being able to relax without having to necessarily go anywhere or do anything has been great. That being said, many interesting things have happened, from my Ringat-less, fraud-protected-credit-card...

Sunday night fights in Bangkok

We arrived in Bangkok Saturday evening and we slept half of Sunday away, so we didn't really do much till Sunday afternoon. After getting familiar with the subway/sky train system we took river boat to a bar and then a tuktuk to a local stadium for Muay Thai - Thai kick-boxing. I had visions...

Bon Voyage India!

After spending Christmas at the zoo and having a Chinese for dinner, our trip through India had come to an end. So we think we should close this trip with a reflection on our experiences in India. After only a week in India, we were questionning why we came here. It seemed like a smelly,...

Finding work

I'm not very good at looking for a job. Meeting up with Christy, Krungthai and his friends from Ireland for lunch, dinner or just one drink, seems to fill the day. But, I set myself a target of applying for 20 jobs and having a job within the next two weeks. I give up looking a Malaysia and...

Bangkok - 6th Dec 2008

Finally started the world tour, after minutes of preparation. Boarded my flight at Heathrow and swiftly took some 'aquired' prescription sleeping pills - and a pint of beer. The next 12 hours are a complete blur - but I can confirm that the file Wanted is as shit at 30'000 feet as it is at...

Thailand

From the Cameron Highlands, I take the local the bus to the west coast, to the town of Ipor and then another bus into the city centre. With glee the driver, the passenger in front of me and a passenger to my left give me a guided tour from the bus window pointing out the old shopping mall, the...

Keep smiling!

"Happy, happy!", as Thai people keep saying, that's how we feel. In the city with no supermarkets (we haven't seen any), everything can be bought and sold in the middle of the street, so our favourite activity is visiting the countless (and amazingly huge) street markets that can be found all...
