Chatuchak Market in Bangkok

If you can dream it up, Chatuchak probably has it. Here, you will be amazed at the sheer variety of merchandise, whether a Moroccan lamp, an antique wooden chest, a pair of vintage Levi’s jeans, or, on the exotic side, a python.

I’m at the first few week so I couldn’t buy so much. My backpack is full enough. But when I’m traveling again in Asia I’ll bring my backpack and fill it here! It’s cheap and they got everything. I bought two t-shirts 100 baht each. (2.50 euro)

Also when you go to Beijing Vietnam or Cambodia you can bring a good backpack and fill it here in Asia.

What do they have on the Chatuchak Market in Bangkok

Although it’s impossible to name all, the selection of goods being offered at Chatuchak can be roughly divided into 11 categories:

Bangkok by motorcycle

When you’re arriving at Bangkok you have a lot of transporation options. Walk, Subway(BTS), Bus, Boat, Taxi and the motorcycle.
I think the BTS and de motorcycle are realy good when there is a lot of trafficjam. Before you hop on the back of a motorcycle negotiate about the price. The motorcycle is normaly little more expensive than the taxi (with taximeter) but you’re faster on you’re destination and you can avoid the trafficjam!

Ao Nang 88 hostel Krabi

Ao Nang 88 hostel is a clean hostel, they offer different rooms. I booked the 16 person dorm room. Its a nice room with enough space. Lockers are in the room. And you’ve a little balkony. Around the hostel you can find a familymarkt and 7/11 at 2 min. And several restaurants and bars in the same street as the Ao Nang 88 hostel.

Poolcrashing as a backpacker

This morning we woke up with a little hangover and ordered “some” food. Yes they deliver it! So breakfast on bed 😉 Outside its 30 degrees and the combination heath and a hangover won’t work for me that good. So I’ve to cool down. First I toke a shower. Worked pretty good. But what if I could swim somewhere! Every big hotel has a swimmingpool…. 🙂

China as a backpacker

Wauw China! I’ll never forget you. When you are in China as a backpacker it is easy to travel. Trains, subway, busses and airplanes are good. The local bus is only one or two rmb. The subway is also 2 RMB. The long distance busses are not realy expensive and have good connections. The train is amazing. I prefer the hardseat for the normal and long trips (over 7 hours) and the hard sleeper for the real long distances. The hard sleeper is a bed and is sometimes better than a cheap hostel. I think China is a save coutry to backpack and travel. Hostels are cheap and the staff is nice. They want to help you with everything. Just ask for a note for the bus, train or other thing you need.

10 RMB is 1.30 euro

Nightlife and barstreet in Kunming

When you’re in Kunming you can go out en have a great night. There is a district with a lot of bars and clubs. For some clubs you need to dess up. For the others you don’t have to dress up. There are several clubs with Chinese music but there are also clubs with nice house and dance music.

Cycle in Kunming

Yesterdag I met a couple thats traveling trough Asia with their bikes. I could borrow a bike from the hostel so we decided to sightsee Kunming by bike! It was an amazing 60km trip trough and around Kunming! You’ll see local things that you normaly never see.

After the ride we bought some street bbq. Wauw, a big plate of noodles with bbq sticks (you can choose yourself) of vegastables, fish, beef, lamb and duck servered with cold a beer for 31 RMB! 🙂
