A-One Hotel 4 stars
Hotel Review: A-ONE Bangkok Hotel

The A-One Hotel in Bangkok’s Petchburi Road is easy to spot as there is a huge sign on top of it. This well established but good sized hotel is quite close to the Tong Lo area and so is well... [more]

Diamond House 4 stars
Hotel Review: Diamond House

The Diamond House was interesting styled both in terms of room design and the open areas. The hotel is a small 3 star establishment and I found the rooms to be above average considering the rating.... [more]

The return trip: Bangkok to Shanghai 4 stars

1 of 1 people found this review helpful
A walk around the food stalls nestled around Soi 7 marked the end of another long day, and I headed back to my hotel for a well deserved night's sleep. The following morning I woke up early, and incredibly, on time! I made my way back to the Bangkok’s International airport whereupon I was able... [more]

The Quality Suites, Bangkok 4 stars
Krung Thep Mahanakhon Chapter of Travel Blog: Taking a Courier Flight from Hong Kong to London
1 of 1 people found this review helpful
I stayed at the Quality Suites hotel which was quite near to the airport, and this place provided me with an absolutely huge suite, comprising 2 bedrooms, a lounge and a large bathroom. The location was quite far from the centre of town, and in any case I was fairly tired, so I just went out to a... [more]

1 of 1 people found this review helpful
With this decision I ushered the driver out and in to the back of the taxi and with some sign language indicated that I would take the wheel. Actually this was not a sensible option as if there was an accident I would be responsible, however at the time I was more concerned with avoiding what I... [more]

I also noticed that he looked sleepy, and on further investigation of his condition it looked as though he only had one functioning eye!./ I am not sure if it was a previous accident that had put his eye out of action, but still I was in no mood to risk having an accident due to his poor driving....

Taking a Taxi to Pattaya 4 stars
Krung Thep Mahanakhon Chapter of Travel Blog: A trip form Shanghai to Koh Samui
1 of 1 people found this review helpful
There were also return flights back from Samui directly to Bangkok airport and so it seemed as long as I could get to Pattaya I would be able to enjoy my much anticipated Koh Samui holiday. I booked the two flights and left the airport. The plan had changed, but not by much and so I was now... [more]

I was just about to leave the office, sad and dejected, when I remembered that Bangkok Airways not only operated a Bangkok to Koh Samui flight but also had flights departing from an airport close to Pattaya, an tourist area only 2 hours drive from Bangkok. The Airport was called Utupoa Airport... [more]

Bangkok Airways was the small airline that provided flights that connected Bangkok to Koh Samui, and so I headed to their office in order to see what was available. Sure enough all flights were full, and so I was unable to get a flight on that day. Worse, was that all flights for the entire week... [more]

Solve the argument about whether different countries have different sized condoms by visiting one of the world's largest collections at Bangkok's Cabbages and Condoms eatery.

Temple of the Dawn 5 stars
Travel Tip: Krung Thep Mahanakhon

One of the most romantic places to take your beau in Bangkok is to see the sun setting over the Temple of the Dawn. Wat Arun on the banks of the Chayo Praya River is one of the most spectacular examples of Khmer architecture in the city. Most people make a bee-line for it, but why not see it from... [more]

Thailand's testicle attraction 3 stars
Travel Tip: Krung Thep Mahanakhon

When my friend said she'd get me over my fear of dead people, I didn't think for one minute she'd take me to see pickled mass murderers, babies gone wrong and an enormous testicle taken from a man with elephantitus. But she did. And now I have a problem trusting anyone from Denmark.
