Title: bangkok red Post by: Onion_Jimbo on Friday, May 25, 2007, 16:47:31 hi there! Jim here.
Wondering I was, Is bangkok red still about? I ask for the simple reason that I am going to bangkok tomorrow night and want to know where to go? Im in singapore in a well nice hotel. My room got upgraded because the receptionist asked if I was related to Robbie Fowler. He was a great laugh. Singapore people are nice. I want to be one. ho hum.

Title: bangkok red Post by: Fred Elliot on Friday, May 25, 2007, 17:13:23 I think he must be living in a Norwegian monastery with Nils
Title: bangkok red Post by: Dazzza on Friday, May 25, 2007, 20:53:24 Think he shifted to Pattaya - sex capital of the world.
Look him up on the members list Onion and send him a PM - he'll get an email to check his InBox. Can't go to wrong with the main strip for the first couple of nights. Title: bangkok red Post by: yeo on Friday, May 25, 2007, 23:28:15 8) Jimbo
Title: bangkok red Post by: oxford_fan on Saturday, May 26, 2007, 13:35:14 my advice would be to check into a nice 5* hotel for the first couple of nights, they're so cheap it'd be silly not to.
i wouldn't bother will all the temples either, didn't find them that great myself and we must have looked round about five of them. get the train north to changmai or daan saarf to samui/phangnan asap, bangkok stinks!

Koh San Road is where most people stay, as your guide book has probably already told you. It's a pity you didn't go a month ago as you would have been there for Thai New Year, which is basically millions of people having a water fight.
Chang Mai is a nicer city to be fair, Koh Phangnan and Koh Tao(if you want to dive) are worth a look, and if you want somewhere that's not quite so western orientated try Koh Samet or Koh Chang towards Cambodia. Phuket and Pattaya are probably best avoided like the plague in my opinion.

Title: bangkok red Post by: Mexicano Rojo on Sunday, May 27, 2007, 17:21:19 jimbo! get to koh samed and goto pudsa bungalows, then you can dance the night away at shit night silversands. get a cab from bangkok and a speedboat to island will only cost you about £30 for both.
Title: bangkok red Post by: Onion_Jimbo on Monday, May 28, 2007, 04:33:08 Im in bangkok now. man this is a sweaty place. im heading down to Koh Phangan tomorrow as there is a full moon party on june 1st.
Title: bangkok red Post by: Dazzza on Monday, May 28, 2007, 13:28:28 Koh Phangan is fantastic get on those nasty 'diet pills' from the clinics and neck a few buckets.
I'd head a bit out of the centre for a bungalow mind or you won't be sleeping much.

I'd head a bit out of the centre for a bungalow mind or you won't be sleeping much. buckets + 'diet pills' = no sleep anyway Dazza! Title: bangkok red Post by: Dazzza on Monday, May 28, 2007, 14:33:09 I prefer a nice bit of Yabba to keep me up.
To many people mulling around for my liking down in Had Rin and those bungalows are as secure and soundproof as paper. One of the lads I met out there employed the services of two bloody great menacing stray dogs who he fed and they lived on his bungalow veranda and kept everyone well away.

I'd head a bit out of the centre for a bungalow mind or you won't be sleeping much. a lady in goa told me the best speed around was to be found in some diet pills called OB10's, the 'OB' standing for obese. god we saw some sights out there, the queue of northern skagheads round the chemists from 11pm-9am was amusing and disturbing - most of them seemed to have degrees in practical chemistry |
