Comment on Soi Ngam Dupli – The old backpacker neighbourhood of Bangkok by Douggy

Ngam Dupli was my go to in the very early 80s. Back then it had a very friendly vibe. People still writing travel info in those black ledgers and sharing stories over a warm beer…I then moved on to Khao San when it was still relatively new and cheap and old school cool. Anybody remember Mr Khoo or the Ohm restaurant?
Bangkok slowly wore me down and I made my way to Chiang Mai.

In reply to Jens Volmer. I was there in January, and there is an ATM at the port (though I didn't use it)

Comment on Notes on Koh Lipe: The beachiest holiday island in Thailand by Manaow

Koh Lipe is amazing. The food there was some of the best we had in Thailand – fresh seafood and the southern Thai curries are different from what you get in Bangkok. Worth the trip just for that. We went from Krabi and it was a long day but absolutely worth it.

Comment on How travel narrative blogging has changed over the last decade, and where to find great travel reads by Mythili V

Really enjoyed reading this! It’s interesting to look back at how travel blogging changed during the 2010s, especially with the growth of social media and new ways for travelers to share their experiences. I also liked the personal persprdective—it makes the article feel honest and nostalgic. Great read for anyone interested in the evolution of travel blogging!

Too bad this island doesn’t have a hospital because it would make a lovely retirement community.

Comment on Da Nang to Hoi An by public bus (Bus 02) by Gero

Hi, just adding some info.
Just took the bus at the pink cathedral, there’s a bus stop with the sign indicating that the bus stops there “02”. The bus driver charged un 40.000 thousend per person plus 13.000 per suitcase ??? Yeah, they’re desperate and if you’re a white tourist you’ll end up paying it.
