Main attractions of Thailand
When vacation is mentioned, Thailand is first in our list because compared with other countries, Thailand has many advantages. First is the cost which is cheaper than in other Asian countries. Next is the food, especially the fresh fruits and vegetables which are of high quality. Then the people, th...

Re: Cheap fun in Thailand
In our last vacation in Bangkok, there was a salon beside our hotel. But we failed to try their haricut and spa. What's good in Thailand is the cheap cost of food and service. And I'm sure the haircut, even for women, would be cheaper than expected. Another plus in their service is the quality that ...

Muay Thai training gym
I am a fan of mixed martial arts and Muay Thai coverage on tv is one of my favorites although it is shown early in the morning. When I first went to Thailand, I was not able to see a gym for lack of time. Our itinerary was full for the 3 days vacation. On our second trip in 2015, I had already told ...

Re: What do you think it's the hardest thing about moving to another country?
There is the thing called culture shock that foreigners who move residence to another country usually experience. It's not easy to explain but let me try. When I moved to the US, I was very particular with the society, how they act in public, the way they talk and some other things that are new to m...

Fruit trip in Bangkok streets
One of the wonderful things I find in Bangkok is the array of fruit vendors. Durian is my favorite such that I buy about twice a day although I cannot bring it inside the hotel, there's a fine of 5k baht. Maprang is a yellow plum that tastes like a mix of mango and papaya. Their lanzones or duku is ...

My photo and video collection
This is not to brag but I have a wide array of videos and photos of Bangkok. First in the list is my encounter with the monks. We never fail to see the monks in the morning to be prayed upon and also to give them food. There was one monk who knew English and it was a joy to have a casual conversatio...

The ping pong is one unique experience
On our first trip to Bangkok, the tour guide offered us a list of things to do. One in the list caught my attention because all it said was ping pong. She explained that it is a sex show that is for adults only. My wife agreed so we took a taxi after dinner to see that show. It was really unique for...

Street market is a haven for shoppers
Our hotel is situated in the city which is a great advantage. Just a few steps and I am already in front of the street market where you can buy food and clothing including accessories. We had a great time buying ready-to-wear clothes that are so cheap. I bought 4 pairs of socks for $2 only. There we...

Safari World is a great experience
On our second trip to Thailand, we were brought by our Thai friend to Safari World. We had no idea that our rented van would be allowed to roam the open air zoo. Oh, lots of birds and animals including the ferocious tiger and the fearsome lion. You can imagine my glee of using our camera in taking p...

My greetings to all
Hello there. Let me greet you in Thai that I hope I remember it correctly - Sawadee Krap. I used to say Sawadee Ka but that is for the female and for male, it is Sawadee Krap. I joined this forum because I had been to Bangkok twice already and we are planning a third trip. Oh, there are so many thin...
