Anyhow, we...

Pros: Wonderful people and culture

Cons: nothing significant as long as you stay attuned to your expectations

Day 1
After a few hours flight to the airport of Udon Thani it was a quick 15 minute drive down to the Charoensri Hotel. If you are looking for a high class International terminal, look elsewhere. It was late at night so it was difficult to see...

Pros: Too many to list
Cons: Are there any?

Pattaya Beach is the adult Disneyland of Asia. From it’s open-air bars with kickboxing rings to the “adult clubs” with razor blade and dart shows. Strange and exotic cuisine abounds as well as delicious seafood for the faint at heart. If Ganja is your...

I lived/worked in Bangkok for one school year. In that time, I developed a certain love/hate relationship with Khao San Road, one of the most popular destinations for foreign tourists in Bangkok.

Just in case you don't know what or where Khao...

After leaving SFO and arriving in Bangkok after 14 hours, I arrived to a light drizzle. Immediately, I was herded onto a bus headed for Pattaya beach. Our tour guide told us that April was the hottest season in Thailand but seeing the rain outside, I...

Cons: everyone's 'been there, done that' and it shows...

This past June I was in Koh Samui for a few days while waiting for passports to Vietnam. I joined a couple friends on the suggestion that this was a great island, close to Bangkok, and away from the mass traveling crowds.
Now, i've traveled a fair...

Cons: Koh Samui may disappoint

In Summer of 1998, I went on an individually escorted tour of Thailand that was arranged by Asia Transpacific Journeys (ATJ). It was one of the best vacation/touring experiences I have ever had. I highly recommend this company for anyone going to...
