Thailand/Cambodia... BNA meet up sept/oct/nov 05

Figure out the best place to stay on Khao San Road in Bangkok and where to escape when you've had enough of the mayhem. From Singapore Slings to the changes in Bejing after the 2008 Olympics, gab about it all here.

That would be Khao San Road. We arrive on 5th and will likely be around still if you want to meet for a drink and reailty check-in. Keep an eye on this blog and post if you want to meet.

Hey ya Brett,

I'm on the move too (coming down from Laos) and will be hitting BKK friday sometime..
I was heading for Big J's too but not sure they still have room for me.. would make the meet up easier though, huh?!! otherwise I'll make for Suk11 so thats not too far away. You mission, should you choose to accept it is to check out good (read cheap) bars in the vicinity and report back with your findings. (a terrible gruelling chore i know, but thats the price you have to pay...)

I am here. It was a pretty crazy flight. I had a connection in taiwan and they had to rush all of the flights out as a hurricane was about to hit the island. We barely made it out. As such, I couldnt make it to suk11 and am headed over there now. Once I get my bearings straight I'll send you over a message bret. monkey gets in tom or day after?

Sunday; it's getting closer! We'll log on as soon as possible and find out where to meet.

Does anyone want to commit to a time and place yet? Is it likely we'll want to sleep after that long flight? How's everyone else feeling?

Stay tuned... you guys are getting me excited! Woohooo!!!!

Hey there everyone!

We haven't left yet, the plane takes off at 10pm; dear god what a big scary moment this day is.

Brett, sounds like getting into the swing of things quickly, awesome stuff - gives us all hope! Have a fantastic time and maybe we'll see you around one day.

I'll post here as soon as I can when we arrive to see if anyone's around who wants to meet up.

Take care everyone.

Good luck with your flight.

I too have left Bangkok. It was a little much for me at the start. I went to koh chang. It is amazing here. If you head down here go to lonely beach and send me a PM. Check out the pics on my blog. Hope to meet up with you monkey or Brett.
