The maps of maps
by balisunshine
There are plenty of maps
of Bangkok out there.
But one of the most comprehensive
and detailed ones is
the one by Nancy Chandler which,
can be bough at every other book store.
The map comes along with a small index guide book.
The price at the time I purchased it 180 Bahts.

Songkhran

This event is over a few days in april the hotest and dryest month.......it is normally over a few days but once in Pattaya a few years ago it went on for 2 weeks........
Basically the whole country erupts into big water fights............you will wherever you are get wet in doors or outside...........don't bother changing into dry clothes you will just get wet again even battles rage while driving down the road and accident rates go up.
Its mad but fun and if you think it will annoy you after a while then miss this time of year or stay in your hotel room.................thats exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Temple is not the beach.
by zazatann
For the Buddhist, going to the temple is quite special thing for us to do. We believe that there’re many angels or good spirits protect the monastery. We will not do anything to find it as disrespect way to the place. Even though some area of the temple is nice and cool to lay down and take a nap but try not to do please because it doesn’t look nice for when a hundred of people come to pray and walk pass you. We feel like you’re relaxing on the beach….
Keeping fit in Bangkok
by balisunshine
Several large hotels in Bangkok
offer a gym to keep fit and tone
while traveling abroad.
One particular well equipped gym that
opens its doors to outsiders and just for the day
is Fitness First located at several locations.
There are gym machines to work every single muscle
and classes from 6:30 am till 8:30 pm offering
Body Jam; Body Combat; Body Pump; Abs; and the list goes on.
The gym is available to outsiders
for 800 Bahts the day.
So, if all that eating Thai food
got you in the need to burn all those calories
come and spend the day at the gym.
