My Thailand Trip

[R31Nismoid]

Just a few pics i snapped while i was over there and stuck in my Gallery.

Was a great trip. Went over there with Lowthy and his bro/bros mate. Great people to go on a trip with as well.

Also we were out with a 5th member - a friend who is living there at the moment.

I was amazed at the quality of food, simply nothing you can even dream of here in a "Thai" restaurants that ive ever been to.

And was just amazing the price aswell, so cheap.

Big thumbs up to Sidey/Jason. Not many would know him around here, those on LS1 and FA will know him well.

I reckon he made the trip sensational. Showed us many great eating places, and as i love food... it was win-win.

Knew all the clubs/bars that were good and generally a bloody champion

So enough talking.

Onto some pics

Hotel room view

There was surprisingly very little graffiti

Skytrain - This is actually about 4-5 stories up in the air or there abouts

The Grand Palace/Temple

The new Airport (forget the name), it was simple put - MASSIVE!!!

Some other pics can be seen here.

Cant wait to head back there at some point.

So apologies i couldn't make the b'day celebrations on the weekend - i was obviously somewhere else lol

Enjoy!

Ahh sweet, which part of Thailand did you go to?

Great food, tiger shows, and cheap shopping but still pretty dodgy these days

lol... you went to thailand and didn't take any pics of 1JZ cefiros? pffft.

actually when I saw this thread I thought it'd be full of your misadventures with ladyboys.

[R31Nismoid]

Headed to Bangkok, down the Sukhumvit area. Staying on Soi 18 if your more detailed with it all.

Was dodgy in some respect yes, but meh. I cant say i felt unsafe or anything. If anything i felt quite a bit safer than being in some places of Melb.

Not everywhere is the same as Australia, and than god as the world wouldn't be worth exploring if that was the case

I only saw one Cefiro the whole time actually.

And i didn't have my camera on me at the time... should i have been expecting to see 100's?

Sorry to disappoint you Shan, no ladyboy adventures!

hehe more than you can poke a stick at...

I recognise a few of the pics from my holiday there last year. We were at The Pennisula which was on the main river in Bangkok, then headed down to Pattaya Beach but were in the country for 3 days.

Has been quiet without you!

[Darren83]

I was there at bangkok earlier this year too. Made a trip to the HKS thailand, was quite a mission getting there as the taxi driver did not exactly knew where it was. However, he immediately know where it was after i pointed a ricey HKS sticker on his cab , lol. No skylines at the HKS shop , but s15's 350z's with rb26 in them with huge single conversions.

Like Ash said, food there is simply amazing, so is the price. Recommended holiday destination ~

[R31Nismoid]

Ooo i might have to check the HKS joint out next time

I'll just take a HKS sticker incase!

[adznight]

Thailand is ACE 4 time now!

[Munkyb0y]

oh thailand. what a great place for a cheap getaway. i was in phuket, and the islands.

as mentioned, best thai food you'll ever have. and great seafood. so fresh and cheap. and how about their fruit. oh man, i wanna go back

some of their 'hot' dishes made my eyes water. upside - nothing here is too hot anymore

[R31Nismoid]

One thing i didnt try was the fruit actually... some of it looked really interesting.

But yeah, without knowing whats good and whats not, i dont want to go eating something that might not agree lol.

Yeah, there was one hot dish that made me know i was alive... twice... :sorcerer:

I forgot to tell u to go to my shop in Siam Square opp. MBK and Discovery Centre;s....also next time go to the north of thailand and stay in my house - although I thinnk its not quite finished!

Sukhumvit is the main road...so thats like the whole of the man city! soi 18 is the 18th street off Sukhumvit...big dodge....

As for Food...

MK Duck is the best...no1 can doubt that

Hows the new airport? my wife just few back and said its pretty friggen big now.

[Simmo1985]

You have a shop over there? lol! SIF not tell me that last week.

Was @ MBK on two occasions, so i would have had a look

Ye, i get how the roads work, took a bit of getting used to though.

The public transport absolutely shits on Melb though.

Man the Airport is just huge, my pics dont even begin to give you an idea... its just massive.

Its beyond big, takes nearly 15mins walk from the check-in to the boarding gate if you don't use the travelator things.

[RNGTR]

Looks awesome Ash, did Sidey take you to any of his famous "clubs" ??

[funkymonkey]

Thailand last year

[R31Nismoid]

lol yeah we saw that sign, it was an absolute classic

Rod - yeah he took us to all sorts of places

[VB-]

how much did you spend roughly for the whole trip? how was it there not speaking thai? did your companions speak thai or does everyone sorta understand english there?

thought it was all 3rd world over there, didnt know they had any decent cities lol. get to see any live muay thai?

[R31Nismoid]

Didnt need to speak Thai - Although my mate who lives there knows a reasonable amount as he lives there, so that helped a lot.

But most people speak english enough to get by we found.

You can pick up basic things if your good at that sort of thing.

Knowing how to explain in their language where your hotel is makes a MASSIVE difference

There are a couple of websites for basic phrases, and hotel staff will help you if you ask.

I spent in the 5 days - $730 or there abouts. Massages, lunches/dinners, trains/taxi's, drinks/snacks/mid-arvo beers, also night club entries (the after 1am places have cover charge to pay off the cops).

We also partied pretty hard a few nights which was cheaper than Melb by a long shot, but still not exactly free.

Depending on how much shopping and stuff you purchase will dictate how much you spend i reckon. Stuff is cheap, but if you go on a rampage you will rack up a few hundred there easily.

I wouldnt call it 3rd world, but its poverty and riches living side-by-side almost.
