Grand Palace, Bangkok, Thailand

Overall Rating:

To put it simply, Bangkok can seem like a labyrinth to new arrivals in the city. The sprawling expressways and overpasses, huge new Skytrain and crowded streets full of vendors give the place a ...more

It's one of the most interesting places I've visited. Cycling through Bangkok back road along local canal taking a local train then continue cycling in countryside there you will visit local farmers villagers schoolchildren temple and market. People are very friendly there; we had lunch at the simple Thai house at the head of the village. Participating in local classroom with local setting were fun and lively with noise who were try to speak to us even though they cannot speak a word of English.... More

While cycling you are surrounded by rice field everywhere you look. I was blown away.Website: www.absoluteexplorer.comE-mail: info@absoluteexplorer.comTel. +66(87) 077 9696 +66(89) 145 4409

2.Beautiful only on the surface

When I moved to Pattaya Thailand (2 hours outside of Bangkok) I couldn't wait to experience all of this exotic and beautiful country. I was able to afford \champagne\ on a \kool-aid\ budget. It really didn't take too long however before my optimistic and adventurous side began to finally focus on the realities. Thailand and her citizens are extremely poor. Google the sex industry in Thailand and you'll find out what too many of these poor people are forced into just to feed their families. ... More
When I moved to Pattaya Thailand (2 hours outside of Bangkok) I couldn't wait to experience all of this exotic and beautiful country. I was able to afford \champagne\ on a \kool-aid\ budget. It really didn't take too long however before my optimistic and adventurous side began to finally focus on the realities. Thailand and her citizens are extremely poor. Google the sex industry in Thailand and you'll find out what too many of these poor people are forced into just to feed their families. When you find out how many young children are prostituted by there own parents you'll probably become nauseous. Look around and pay attention at some of these luxurious hotels. You may think that bus load of Japanese men are on a guided sight seeing tour and in a way they are; they're visiting some of many different houses of prostitution. Many of those employ children who are enslaved by ruthless pimps and madams. If some happen to disappear from violence there's always at least five more who want to take their place. Find out what pedophiles refer to as a \Thai Vacation\. Are there more child prostitutes or more foreign pedophile tourist? Well they certainly don't have prostitutes riding around in luxury air conditioned buses. The government just doesn't care. Corrupt cops make sure their palms are regularly brushed. Point in case: Pay attention to traffic cops about the last 10 days of the month. Thais get paid once a month on the first of the month. At the end of the month you'll see a noticeable increase in traffic stops. Well everyone knows that the policemen pull you over expecting an under the table \donation\ to help them until pay-day unless of course you would rather have an expensive citation. I could go on and on. When I moved there I wanted to learn everything there was to know; unfortunately I learned a lot too much.

We biked around: if you do this first you can choose which of the tourist attractions to visit or if you do this last it gives you a better understanding of the tourist attractions you visited. We stayed at the Sheraton Sukhumvit.... beautiful...excellent service. Loved the massage place across the street (down by the Supermarket). We wanted a couples' massage but they were packed so 2 ladies massaged us at our hotel. Taking the subway/ train is a breeze! We would definitely visit again.

As an ex-patriot now living in Bangkok I think it is one of the most interesting cities in South East Asia. It is a great experience to see different parts of the world also Thais are very kind and welcoming to everyone. Over all living in Bangkok has showed me the many different kinds of people and expanded my knowledge of the world.... More
