Surprise in the City...
"When my family visited during my birthday and told me they were going to show me a new side of the city, I was more than slightly skeptical. For the past few days I had been playing tour guide to these Thailand newbies, and now it was their turn to take the lead. They were, however, completely right. On the evening of my birthday we took a taxi to River City Pier No.2 next to the Phra Pinklao bridge on the far side of the river." What happens next? Let Kirsty Turner ell ou about her 'Surprise in the City'. |

Wat Arun ...
"Viewed from the river, Wat Arun is a stirring sight. Situated on the far side of the river it towers above the other buildings around it and looks very different to other Thai temples. Whilst the surrounding wats are short with shining gold roofs, Wat Arun looks greenish-grey from a distance and has an enormous bell-shaped tower, known as a prang, which stretches heavenwards." Kirsty Turner gives us a tour of a sight common to people who visit Khao San Road - Wat Arun. |

Wat Doi Suthep...
"I have to tell you, I don't think I'm gonna make it," my friend pants, red faced and breathless as we climb the steep flight of stone steps. "Come on, we're nearly there, you can't quit on me now!" I pant back. Who would have thought that 309 steps would prove to be such a challenge? We should have taken the tram to the top, but it's too late now.

Trang Underwater Weddings...
In the southern coastal province of Trang, Valentine's Day weekend is a busy time. The province is a natural romantic destination, with rainforests, waterfalls, limestone caves and vast undisturbed coral reefs. At this time of year, the Andaman sea is calm and still, and the area abounds with blossoming sri-trang flowers. But what marks Trang as a lovers' destination is not just its beauty. For the past thirteen years, Pak Meng beach has hosted hundreds of adventurous couples in the annual Trang Underwater Wedding Ceremony. |

Park Special!
Two great articles about parks in Bangkok... "I love everything about living in the city: the hustle and bustle, the vibrancy and the fact that I never know what I might find around the next corner. However, there are times when I long to get away from the traffic for a while and relax somewhere green. Luckily, there are plenty of great parks in Bangkok, all with something different to offer." Click on Bangkok Parks for more... "It’s difficult to believe that any wild life can exist among Bangkok’s noxious atmosphere beyond a few sparrows, pigeons and cockroaches. But the City of Angels is home to an amazing number of bird species and many can be found alongside one of the main arteries, Phahonythin Road." Click on Suan Rot Fai for more... |
