    Tavee Guesthouse – Bangkok, Thailand

    November 30, 2013

    Price 500 baht What A clean large double room, shared bathroom with warmish water, fan only, bottle of cold water on arrival, bars of soap, toilet paper, strong wifi in room Where Behind the National Library, Sri-Ayutthaya Rd, Soi 14 (walk towards the temple at the end of the street, and it’s in an alleyway on the right, before 7-11). View Tavee Guesthouse in a larger map Comments This is a great deal in Bangkok. It’s difficult to find something nice and clean for under $20, despite the hundreds of options, but Tavee excells at being a budget, very clean, tastefully decorated, organised guesthouse. We took the double room, shared…

    Bangkok to Vientiane by Night Train

    November 15, 2013

    We decided to go from Bangkok to Vientiane using the night train which would leave at 8pm, arriving in Nong Khai at 7.30am. You can’t actually buy a direct ticket from Bangers to Vientiane, so you’ll need to go through Nong Khai. Nong Khai is the border town on the Thai side. We took the local bus No. 53 from Samsen St to the train station and bought our tickets the day before. The train station was old but still grand, as all interstate train stations are, and we were approached twice by helpful women with official lanyards around their necks eager to help us. Trust these women as they…

    Direct bus from Bangkok, Thailand to Siem Reap, Cambodia; the more sane way

    May 23, 2013

    Since February 2013, Transport Co in Thailand offers a direct bus from Bangkok to Siem Reap, here’s how to catch it. Take the red bus number 3 from Khaosan road to Mo Chit bus terminal. The fare is about 7baht per person and it takes between 45mins to 1hour 30mins, depending on traffic. You can catch the yellow bus for three times the fare to get AC. Red is just fine. Wooden floors, open windows and no suspension. It is a bumpy ride, keep a loose jaw and you’ll arrive in tact. The last stop is Mo Chit and as you get off, walk through the market until there is…

    Happy Buddha Day everyone!

    May 21, 2013

    A random on the street told us today is Buddha Day and the government pays the fuel for all Tuk Tuks and we only need to pay 20baht for 2 hours to see four sights. Then he circled everything on our map and said we can walk it too. Soon after a Tuk Tuk drove past and he hailed it for us. The driver soon agreed that it is indeed Buddha Day and we can have him for 2 hours for 20baht. Then the first guy left. I smelled the dead rat here and asked more questions, kept saying I don’t believe him. Then another seemingly passer-by joined us. A…
