Alena & Anton's food and travel adventures
The one destination which everyone recommends when you tell them you'll be visiting Bangkok is Khao San Road, a street which has been built by the tourism boom, full of bars, clubs and hostels popular with the younger traveller crowd. Not the resort kind of tourism either, imagine the Asian Magaluf! We went there on … Continue reading New Year’s Extravaganza
Poslednich par tydnu pred odjezdem bylo docela narocnych - nechat se naockovat, pozjistovat jak funguji viza, odstehovat veci z bytu, sbalit se na 6 mesicu do 1 batohu.. takze po kratke zastavce v Bangkoku na vzpamatovani z dlouheho letu jsme zamirili rovnou na Koh Chang, abychom si hezky odpocinuli na plazi. Nas vybrany ostrov se … Continue reading Sloni ostrov (Koh Chang)
The last few weeks at home had been quite hectic, what with moving all our belongings to storage and getting ready for 6 months abroad, so after a short stop in Bangkok just to recover from the journey we headed to Koh Chang for some relaxing beach time.

Christmas is not widely celebrated in Thailand but if you're in a place that even remotely attracts tourists they'll make an effort to put lights up, wrap tinsel around palm trees and decorate restaurants with fake Christmas trees as well as large statues of Santa Claus. Larger resorts may even put on a special event … Continue reading ‘Guarantee Funny’ (X-mas in Thailand)
Vsechno probiha podle planu. Vstavame brzy, sbalime saky paky a pres aplikaci Grab (neco jako Uber) si zaridime odvoz na nadrazi. Nakup listku den predem se vyplatil, protoze rano uz je vyprodano (blizi se Vanoce). Autobus cislo 999 je prekvapive pohodlny, spousta mista na nohy, klimatizace funguje a dokonce je tu i splachovaci zachod! O … Continue reading Z Bangkoku na ostrov Koh Chang
Everything goes according to plan. We get up early in the morning, pack our stuff and take a Grab (Thai version of Uber) to the bus station. We're pleased to find out that yesterday's journey to buy tickets in advance wasn't in vain as the bus is now fully booked (it's coming up to Christmas). … Continue reading From Bangkok to Koh Chang island

Objevujeme potni zlazy v mistech, kde jeden ani nevedel, ze je ma, ale i pres to prvni noc spime 13h (bus, beh, vlak, beh, letadlo, letiste, letadlo, vlak, metro... cesta byla dlouha). Rano jdeme koupit … Continue reading Zelena oaza v betonove dzungli
When we arrive in Bangkok the thermometer reads 32°C. When we were leaving Bristol it was around 5°. We sweat in places I didn't know were able to sweat but we sleep for 13 hours straight regardless (coach, run, train, run, plane, airport, plane, train, underground… the journey was long). On our way to buy … Continue reading Green oasis amid a concrete jungle
