New Rod Fai Bangkok Night Market There are so many Bangkok Night Markets to choose from. Scott’s first attempt at a blog, so be kind. One of the highlights of SE Asian countries is the night markets. It’s an ideal opportunity to try local cuisines or barter for those cheap goods. There are a lot […]
Health Checks Available in Bangkok Now there are certain things you have to take into account when long term travelling. Things that you take for granted when you’ve been living in one country all your life. Health checks are one of those privileges that we have in New Zealand. Everyone has heard about the cheap […]
