Grand Palace
by thelittlevoice
I just wanna write a little note informing you that if you decide to go to The Grand Palace, make sure you dress properly, no shorts or sleeveless shirts. The first time I was there, I thought I had an appropriate shirt on...the sleeves were about 2 inches long and that wasn't enough either so I had to wear this really big ugly shirt that they provided there. I was with my boyfriend and hoping to take some nice pictures together but nah I had to try avoiding the camera because I looked so stupid with that damn shirt!
Waiting for my flight
by pmarshuk
What nicer way to spend the time while waiting for my taxi to the airport than by going tenpin bowling with some new friends.
As a bonus this was the day England played Australia in the final of the rugby world cup and there was a TV right next to the lane we were using.
April Weather in Thailand
by bulldogtwo
The weather has been wierd, not just in Thailand but many other parts of the world as well. Last year, Nov in Chinag Mai up in the mountains, the weather should've been cool but it was pretty hot, so....
"Normally", first part of April you may get a shower but even that is rare. It may cloud up some but rarely rains until end of April, mid May. As John said, if it does rain it'll be hard and short and the hot and humid. April is known as the last part of the dry season. I think you'll experience more cloud action than anything.
I say, "never pass up a chance to go to Thailand!"

YAOWARAT, CHINESE MIXED WITH THAIS
by ancient_traveler
The Thai Chinese are an overseas Chinese community who live in Thailand. Most ethnic Chinese in Thailand are proficient in the Thai language, in general, ethnic Chinese use Thai as a working language, while Chinese is spoken at home and relatives. Assimilated Thais of Chinese ancestry, on the other hand, have since use Thai in everyday life and are much less adept in Chinese. Extensive intermarriages with the Thais, especially in the past has resulted in many people who claim Chinese ethnicity with Thai ancestry, and many people of Thai ethnicity with some Chinese ancestry as well.

WHAT TO PACK FOR BANGKOK?
by mamasan69
Sturdy, and lockable luggage/bags should be included for sure. Certain places in Bangkok provide "razor artists" easy picking for getting into your pack, without you even knowing. Crowded streets, buses, and trains are bad spots for this as you are usually bumping/contacting others at some point. Light, loose fitting clothing, and comfortable but light footwear. Besides the usual, a small medical kit might not be a bad idea to include. Anything that can record all of what you will experience in Bangkok. Sunscreen and sunglasses
