    Best places to stay in Bangkok | By Bangkok Travel Point

    18/10/2020

    The best places to stay in Bangkok? Bangkok is a megacity; quintessentially Thai and multicultural all at the same time. It brings together history and modernity, reflects the past and, at the same time, takes visitors on a trip to the future.This sprawling metropolis is full of intriguing contrasts and forever changing. Bangkok reaches to the stars, with apartment towers on the Chao Phraya River growing higher and the shopping malls getting larger and more sophisticated. The city is the ultimate trend setter. In a short time, Thailand’s capital has flourished into South-East Asia’s design and fashion stronghold. There are five districts in Bangkok that tend to appeal to visitors.…

    Yamyen: The novelty hospital restaurant in AoNang Thailand

    24/11/2019

    Krabi province is giving Bangkok’s unique themed cafes a run for their money with the arrival of a new hospital-themed restaurant in Ao Nang, Thailand. With the capital’s unicorn and mermaid restaurants becoming a more regular tourist attraction, Thailand café hoppers are now looking for their next novelty foodie fix. Yamyen Resto Park Ao Nang shuns the town’s usual beach restaurant format, swapping it for a medical-centre-style set-up – complete with bedpans, syringes and laboratory flasks.   An unusual restaurant in AoNang … Arriving at Yamyen, you can a doctor’s jacket/nurse’s apron and grab yourself a wheelchair (seat). Surgical lighting lamps are fitted to ceilings above dining tables, and menus…

    Thailand Backpacking Route

    26/02/2018

    Choosing a Thailand backpacking route can be difficult, especially given the wide range of tourist attractions on offer. The country relies heavily on tourism and, as a result, offers travellers hundreds of budget activity choices including museums, palaces, Buddhist temples, beaches, World Heritage sites and cooking classes. If you’re going to Thailand, I recommend you take AT LEAST 2 weeks to do so. With this kind of time frame, you’d be able to catch a good little preview of what the country has to offer. For me, your Thailand route comes down to one main question: North or South Thailand? North Thailand The less obvious of the two. Most new travellers know less about…

    Bucket list locations: White temple, Chiang Rai

    17/03/2017

    The White temple (Wat Rong Khun), in Chiang Rai, Thailand, is possibly one of the most beautiful pieces of architecture I’ve ever seen. The worst bit? I only got to visit it by chance, when my connection bus on the way to the Thai border made a stop there. I’d heard about it, but hadn’t been ‘sold it’ enough to make the journey to see it. I’m going to try make the sell to you now!!!! The temple is actually privately owned, after a local artist decided to fund the rebuilding of the very run down structure, using his own money. He now intends for the area adjacent to the…

    Chiang Mai’s cruelty-free travel attractions

    04/12/2016

    Thailand has had a lot of bad press recently in regards to their animal attractions. I’m pleased. I was becoming increasingly frustrated with people turning a blind eye to attractions that were clearly abusing their animals. Photos of yourself cuddling a tiger? That animal is drugged. Tigers do not spoon humans in the wild, regardless of how domesticated they have become! Luckily, Chiang Mai’s cruelty-free travel attractions are popping up all over the place. The North of Thailand is particularly veggie/vegan friendly, with a lot of the locals partaking in the Chinese Buddhism teachings of eliminating meat from their diet. It couldn’t be easier to go cruelty-free in the odl…

    What not to pack for Thailand

    23/10/2016

    Two years living in Thailand means that every time I go back, I pretty much go with an empty bag. Thailand was my first ever solo backpacking stop, and I wish I’d known not to take the following as a backpacker/someone who set up camp for years… (sorry if this feels a bit female orientated, but… er.. I’m female?) Mosquito repellent It was one of the first things I was told to buy.. “get yourself down to Boots and buy a huge bottle of the strongest Deet you can find”. …..Don’t bother! First of all, those wee Thai mozzies don’t give a rats ass about your Deet.. they’re still going…

It’s brimming with character and every time I go I always find new Bangkok attractions to get excited about. As a backpacker, I found myself using it as a base, with a lot of International flights leaving from it’s two airports. Here’s my pick of secret/unusual things to do in Bangkok, whether you are familiar or new to the huge Asian city.

Despite best efforts, finding somewhere in my 'zone' to walk (that I haven't already been to) is getting pretty tough. However, I always love the 9k loop from South Queensferry to Barnbougle Castle and back that @laurenbu85 and I took at the weekend.

Churches - A tourism must, or just boring?
St. Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh saw its first stones laid in 1142 - AND, it's technically not really a cathedral! 
A church becomes a cathedral when it’s the seat of a bishop. The High Kirk was a proper cathedral during two short periods of its history. It hasn’t had a bishop sit in the church since 1680!

Whilst running around White Horse Close with my camera, an older gent named Gordon started talking me about how it used to be Edinburgh's main trader tavern. How do I know his name was Gordon? You ask. He told me! He also brought out his old sketches of the close and told me a load of tales about Edinburgh prostitutes.
Am I the only one this ALWAYS happens to? I love a chat with an older local.
