  • Favorite Thing: Chinese New Year festivities are always grand in Thailand and Bangkok's Chinatown comes to life during Chinese New Year which fall in January every year .With as much as 14% of Thailand's population claming Chinese ancestry,this celebration is big news!* Yaowarat road is closed off and becomes a visual sea of red,gold ,decorated with electric laterns and long pink,purple,yellow paper of matching colour.A splended Golden Dragon sits near the main gate as people flock inside the Chinese temple to pay respect,watch Lion dance and enjoy the wonderful food.

    Fondest Memory: Chines Dragon & Lion Dance.

  • Favorite Thing: Khaosan Road is a famous backpackers area filled with wall to wall guesthouses.So this is the place to head if you are looking for a bed for the night,book tours ,look for deals on airline tickets or just wanting a meal and meeting other travellers.
    Wonder down Khaosan's many little alley ways that are like mazes that leads you to more guesthouses,shops,bars.travel agents and then find yourself on a completly different Soi.

    Check out:
    D&D Guesthouse- air-con rooms and a pool on the roof with a view.
    Buddy Lodge -more up market than most on Khaosan Rd also with a pool.
    Khaosan Center -good place to eat ,drink & people watch.
    Gullivers Pub -nice bar with good food , pool tables ,free internet,friendly staff & air-con.
    The Club- if your looking for some techno beats later in the night.
    Roadside bars and street vendors
