Make Our Day

In a Bangkok Minute

The words “easy” and “reliable” have no place in a conversation regarding Thai transportation. Bangkok in particular is quite the Bermuda Triangle of well laid transport plans. I have never made it out of Bangkok on the day or via the mode of transport originally intended. However, last week I was on an especially tightContinue reading “In a Bangkok Minute”

Where You Go?………but seriously

I’ve written before about the ever persistent, original hustlers of Phuket, the cab drivers. What I haven’t told you is that when they yell, “Where you go?” they actually need to know. Anyone who’s visited me in Thailand can attest that the second you get in a cab, it’s as if the driver is asContinue reading “Where You Go?………but seriously”

Jackpot

Jackpot Kate dug up an extensive list of Thai superstitions (minus the 10 to 15 I’ve added to it for my own convenience). Number 8 is my favorite, Baldies are sneaky and flirty. That’s you Bruce! I didn’t know you had been to Thailand…….very sneaky indeed.

Wet and Wild

So I have the entire month of April off to celebrate Thai New Year. We asked the locals in Phuket what we farangs should do with ourselves during the festivities and the unanimous vote was for Kohsan Road in Bangkok.
