Back to where I’m from | Interview with Nana
During my life in Udon Thani, Bangkok and Thailand as a whole I meet / met a lot of interesting and fascinating people.

Today it is [...]

The full name of Bangkok is
Since Bangkok is in the guiness book of world records for the world’s longest city name, I thought it’s about time to present this name to you. Here it is: In Thai: กรุงเทพมหานคร อมรรัตนโกสินทร์ มหินทรายุทธยา มหาดิลกภพ นพรัตนราชธานีบุรีรมย์ อุดมราชนิเวศน์มหาสถาน อมรพิมานอวตารสถิต สักกะทัตติยะวิษณุกรรมประสิทธิ์ Understand? Great!

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.

Bangkok’s hidden beauty: Queen Sirikit Park
When thinking about Bangkok most people would automatically mention two or three things instantly. Temples, Skyline, Traffic Jam. If you give them more time to think about they would then come up with TukTuks, Chatuchak Market, Khaosan Road, the Zoo, Universities, the Chao Phraya river or the Siam shopping district. It is quite likely that [...]

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 [...]

Team Canada vs. The World – Charity Ice Hockey Match
I seriously thought about only writing three words in this post: Ice Hockey in Bangkok. Then I realized those are actually four words so what the heck…let’s write more. The thai red cross organized a charity ice hockey match between “Team Canada” and ‘The World (with Thailand)”. Nice names already (with Thailand) – but hey. [...]
