I flew with Biman Bangladesh Airlines this time...well I'm not gonna lie to you, it sucked. I wanted to take my beloved Thai Airways but it was full. The flight from Bangkok to Dhaka takes around 2 hours but it stopped in Yangon for one hour and that was torturing. I was sitting in the middle of 2 Bangla guys and I think they decided it was a good idea not to take a shower for the past few days! During the stop, lots of people were going to the toilet and I think it must have smelt stink to the whole plane. The leg space is also very little. I'm not tall(167cm) but still it was very uncomfortable. The only good thing is probably the cost, it was around 200 bucks. But seriously I'd recommend you all to pay some more bucks and get on Thai Airways instead! I think it's around 300 bucks for returned tickets. Leave a Comment

 Its a treat!! by Maline
Going to Bangladesh from Europe often includes changing flights in Moscow. This includes waiting at Moscow international (12 hours is not uncommon).
So far the ugliest airport I have encountered. Bring books because there is nothing to do here exept have that meal that is included in you ticket...
...not a delicious experience!
At least we only waited 10 hours, not 14 like the family on the floor next to us, with two VERY bored kids...!!! Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

 River transport is very
important! by Bonobo2005
Taxi's and autoriksja's are quite rare outside the businessareas. Instead, use bicycle riksja's for short distances (very cheap, so don't bargain too hard, since you're supporting poor families) and buses.
The express trains I used were very convenient. Reclining seats and tea even available in 2nd class. Local trains are much more lively and likely more cultural experience, but slow and often dirty.
The paddle steamer Rocket is relaxed and superb experience to cover big distances over water. The difference 2nd class & 1st class is huge. So try to make 1st class reservation in advance. It's really worth it! Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 India on the ridge top... by Saagar
For locals this crossing can be undertaken, but for most tourists with other nationalities it is apparently not possible. What a pity, because this must be some of the most interesting points in India. When the Indian border is thus closed, it generally indicates unrest, riots, violence and guerilla activities. Good guess in this case, I believe.
When you travel by rail you travel right along the border between Akhaura and Comilla, the check post facilities and border markings and Indian guard posts are clearly visible. So near yet so distant! Leave a Comment Theme: Other
