Hostel Review: Thara House – Bangkok
Time for another accommodation review. A few days ago I happened to stay in Bangkok once again and, after some time, I chose a destination close to Khaosan Road. After having spent the last visits in Hua Lamphong I simply wanted to go back there since I missed…not Khaosan….but the ferry boats that leave from [...]

Thailand’s Ping Pong Show – It’s not a sport!
When you are a foreigner in Thailand and walking around some popular tourist areas like Khaosan Road in Bangkok, or similar places in Pattaya and other tourist magnets you are quite likely to hear TukTuk drivers and other suspicious fellas offering you a ride to a Ping Pong Show. This happens all the time and [...]

A short introduction to Thai food by Dr. Sheldon Cooper, PhD (Jim Parsons) of The Big Bang Theory. One of my favorite TV shows and, despite all the fun, the facts are right

MBK Shopping Mall, Bangkok
It is probably one of the biggest and oldest shopping malls in Thailand and without any doubt one of the most famous ones as well (numerous people walk around with ‘i love mbk’ t-shirts). However it is also a place of frustration and annoyances. At least for foreigners / farangs. The MBK shopping mall is [...]

Mochit 2, Bangkok – The bitch among all bus terminals.
There are many bus terminals all over Thailand and even within Bangkok there are more than one. But there is only one bus terminal that can be described as crazy, weird, adventurous and / or dangerous. The bitch. Mochit 2. When you take the bus to Bangkok from the northern part of Thailand you are [...]
Wifi Internet in Thailand
Here’s a short post about my Wifi experiences in Thailand. It’s really about Wifi and not about 3G or EDGE since I only have a prepaid sim card and only use Wifi for internet related stuff. I already talked about mobile phone providers – and those are actually the same carriers that offer wifi services [...]

Your Place Guesthouse, Hua Lamphong, Bangkok
Once more another weekend in the Big Mango. Once more another guesthouse. Once more disappointed. Especially after my last hostel experience in Chiang Mai it is quite disappointing how little guesthouses in Bangkok care about their customers and how expensive they are in comparisson. Sure, Bangkok is not Chiang Mai – but that’s not necessarily [...]

Why THE BEACH – Maya Beach – SUCKS
We could make it short and basically say: Because of Leonardo DiCaprio. But that wouldn’t be fair. We need to be more precise and say: Because of the effin film studio and the stupid people in charge back in 2000 who let them ruin one of the most beautiful islands in this planet. In 2000 [...]

Chiang Mai – New Year’s Party & Mountain Camping
After suffering from food poisoning during last year’s new year’s eve in Chiang Mai I decided to give it another try and celebrate the start of 2012 in one of Thailand’s most beautiful cities again. This time I took the bus from Udon Thani to Chiang Mai on Friday night. Usually it should be a [...]

JaiDii House Chiang Mai
While celebrating New Year’s Eve and some camping action in Chiang Mai last week, I stayed in two different guesthouses. The second guesthouse I chose after coming back from the camping adventure was JaiDii House. This is a review. Location: Pretty cool again. Also right in the ‘hostel heart’ of Chiang Mai along the ‘Bar Road’ [...]
