Every major city seemingly has a major park right somewhere in the middle of it. Lumpini Park is right in the center of Bangkok and it is easily noticeable from the skytrain. I planned to jog around the park, hoping that I could avoid the dangers of the traffic and smog. You can’t imagine the surprise I found…
Another Chinatown? Are you for real? I decided to on a early Saturday afternoon to visit Chinatown in Bangkok. When I visited Thailand 4 years I wanted to head to Chinatown but I missed out. Four months into my second stay in Thailand I finally decided to go. Was it worth the 4 year wait???
Cooking at home is totally unnecessary living in Bangkok but what if you either feel the urge or don’t want to hit the 24 hour Mickey D’s latenight? Is there something which you can buy on the street and make quickly at home???
