From Thai Blogs, 42 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
With daily return flights starting at just ?48 (2400 baht, low season, booked well in advance) from Air Asia, Yangon now counts as a viable excursion/visa run from Bangkok. This fact hasn't gone unnoticed by locals either; I met dozens of Thais, Malays and Chinese taking a long weekend in the city.
Arriving in Yangon the first thing you think is, hell the plane took a wrong turn and I'm in Bombay or Calcutta, Indian architecture, tea shops, chapatti stalls, Bollywood cinemas and dirt lots of...

Siamosaurus is apparently a crocodile like beast, so no opportunity for satire about the Thai government there. The best thing about Kalasin is it's not like Buriram, which I...

Incorrect Place Names and SE Asia

Bombay recently changed its name to Mumbai, so did Bangalore to Bengaluru, and cricket commentators fell over themselves to use the new names as quickly as possible.

In fact, many of my family's favorite moments involve flinging ourselves on something that moves, which in...
