free tropical fruit tasting at the airport
by latte18
When you land in Bangkok, don't forget to stop by the free tropical fruit tasting booth at Don Muang Intl Airport. Located just after customs inside the arrival hall, the booth is operated by Thai Tourism board and manned by beautiful and friendly Thai ladies in traditional dresses. They will explain the characteristics of each fruit and cut them up for you. Among the fruit available for tasting are rambutans, longkongs, mangoes, mangosteens, and pomello. You can take as many as you want and the best thing of all is that it's FREE!
Hats off to Thai Tourism Board! The booth really puts me in a good mood after a tiring flight and provide positive first impression of Thailand!

Thai Girls
by machomikemd
Thai girls in general are kind, polite and extremely decent, however as we all know there are exceptions. There seems to be a division between the more traditional girls and girls that often hang out in bars. The kind of girl you meet totally depends on the bar you go to, the "bad girls" all hang out in one of the three sex area's being either Nana area, Patpong or Soi Cowboy. Don't expect to meet your dream girl here but if you're looking for some quick action these are the places to be.
there are the intermediate bars where you really don't know what the girls are up to, your money, free drinks or they really like you? A good measurement tool to find out what their intention is is to calculate the Thai girls to foreign guys ratio. The less foreigners the more decent the girls are probably, also pay attention to the number of Thai guys, no Thai guys means bad girls who are after foreigners.
If you're looking for a more peaceful evening without being harassed go to the bars outside the main tourist area's with mostly Thai customers. People are still extremely friendly but they're just nice because Thai people are really kind, not because of the money.
Thai ice tea
by Pimilan
This is a typical thai ice tea receipt : lipton tea, hot water, condensed milk, plunder ice, thai cream. Usually you found this really good ice tea in small local restaurant for about 10 to 30 bahts. Now it exist the mix in supermarket.
Packing...
by CandS
Take a small backpack so that you can carry your water and anything you might buy along the way... Most hotels will let you leave your suitcase at their lobby if you head off for a couple of days (that is, if you've been staying there and will return). Take comfortable shoes and summer clothes...it's hot! Take lots of film or memory cards. If you don't pack enough memory cards for your camera, you can always buy one at the various shopping centres.
