I haven't decided where to go from Bangkok. Was actually going to ask your advice. I'm not sure how much I'll like each area, is it possible to get cheap flights to nearby places a few days ahead of time so I can decide while I'm there, or should I just buy island hopping and nearby country flights way in advance?
How long are you looking to stay? What type of things do you like to do? I'm in Bangkok now and I've lived in the country near Udon Thani. It's all good here - you just need to find your spot.
Hope you made it to Bangkok okay and you're glad to be traveling again. I want to travel cheap, so I can splurge now and then. I'm fine with sleeping on couches and bunks in Hostels. I want to meet other travelers. I'm hoping to see the sites in cities and off the beaten path type things....
I've seen people talking on here about how you can record a video log and there's a program that transcribes it for you. I agree, the writing takes time for a few cents. I figure it's worth it for me to stay on here because, if nothing else, it will be my travel journal for myself, family, and friends. Also, I think we are here on the ground floor of something that's going to take off. I was also thinking I'd be posting vlogs once I'm on the road, for the sake of time, and (so my parents can see me). Hopefully we'll talk again soon.
(Btw, your posts are very good and you have a lot of value to offer. I've seen travel blog classes on other world traveler website-they guide you through everything you need to know to make money on your own website. I haven't looked into it much, but I might.) -Chris
I would definitely take it in the daytime. So, here's a playlist of my neighborhood. But we can find this in a few locations. It's just easier if I know the food. Maybe about 4 pm and then we can collect food and find a place to eat. There's a park here sort of lol. I'm so happy to be back in Bangkok for the food alone. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUv-15vAs5D-lSf9BVujKiiu5d-hll2Tk
Ok - try not to starve to death before we meet! I know how hard it is. I'm glad those days are in my rear view mirror now.
I can meet you at Exit 3 MRT Sutthisan. I'll be the one and only old white lady in the top courtyard area. I stand out!
That will be perfect and I can show you around. There's a park nearby so maybe we can eat there or just go to one of the coffee shops after you see the place. Hopefully no rain.
I'm currently in Guatemala and have yet to ride one. It was in my original plan but with me speaking very little Spanish (learning), I've become apprehensive. I still have two weeks so we'll see how it goes lol
I would LOVE to take a chicken bus hihihi! You gotta get us a photo of some chicken passengers one day :) Pleeeeeeeease?? :)
HAHAHAA well, I Love chickens, and always love to see photos of the little guys :) :) I'll be on the lookout for yours!
Hey, man. Another great article. DId you leave the US yet? I bought a ticket to Bangkok. I leave Sept 19. ...I gave you a shout out in my latest post.
Sound advice! I found these a great way to get around in Guatemala, though some locals cautioned us that drunk driving is also an issue.

I'm really looking forward to it. See you then :)
Yes we will be easy to locate :) Good thing I have my 5 Thai words to help us get along, and I can grunt in Thai!
