Alena & Anton's food and travel adventures
Hong Thong is a fantastic drink, something between whiskey and rum, produced in Thailand. Also, it rhymes with Hong Kong where we spent a week to take a little break from the heat and mainly to visit our friend Stew who grew up there. Another one of our friends, Gravs, flew over from the UK … Continue reading Hong Thong
Moji kolegove z prace jsou naprosto uzasni a i kdyz za pul roku budu zase zpatky v kanclu, jako darek na rozloucenou mi predali obalku s pranim a stedrym prispevkem na cesty. Vzhledem k tomu, ze Bungee Jumping z vyhlidkove veze v Macau je nehorazne predrazeny, rozhodla jsem se misto toho cast penez pouzit na … Continue reading Bahenni lazen se slony
The people I work with are absolute legends and they gave me some travel money as a (temporary) goodbye present, and because bungee off Macau Tower is way overpriced I've decided to use part of it on something else I've loved ever since I was a child - elephants! We spent a day at a … Continue reading Mudbath with elephants
V Kanchanaburi panuje uzasny klid, coz je pro nas vitana zmena po hektickem Bangkoku. Mesto lezi na zapade Thajska a je zname predevsim diky Mostu pres reku Kwai, ktery prosavil stejnojmenny roman a predevsim na nem zalozeny film oceneny nekolika Oscary (ktery my jsme porad jeste nevideli). Je zvlastni sledovat turisty, jak se usmivaji do … Continue reading Zeleznice smrti a tyrkysove vodopady
The town of Kanchanaburi is so very calm and peaceful, especially after manic Bangkok. The town lies in western Thailand and is mostly known for The Bridge over River Kwai, made famous by a movie of the same name (which we still haven't seen yet). Tourists taking happy selfies on the 'Death Railway' forms a … Continue reading The Death Railway and Erawan waterfalls
V Bangkoku bydli neco pres 8 milionu lidi, takze i kdyz se treba jen desetina z nich snazi dostat z mista A do mista B, na cestach jsou tisice a tisice aut, taxiku, tuk-tuku, autobusu a motorek a vsichni se snazi predjet jeden druheho. Pravidla dopravniho provozu jsou spise takova doporuceni, cervena na semaforu rozhodne … Continue reading Bangkok

Bangkok is BIG! The traffic is absolutely mental, thousands and thousands of cars, motorcycles, buses, trucks, tuk tuks, all trying to get ahead of each other. Traffic rules are more like guidelines; red light, if there is any, is a suggestion for cars to stop, at best it means pedestrians don't have to run to … Continue reading Bangkok
We're going on a day trip to Ayutthaya, the old capital full of ancient palaces, ruins, temples and other historic sights. Everyone's recommending to get there early to avoid rush hour on the trains, beat the tourist buses and avoid the heat so we're getting up at 5:45. Still half asleep, we make our way … Continue reading Ayutthaya
Khao San Road je takova Bangkokska Stodolni - ulice plna hospod, baru a klubu, ktera je obzvlast popularni mezi mladsimi cestovateli.

Kolem seste … Continue reading Silvestrovska extravaganza
