Murray Head captured Bangkok perfectly in his short song.  He sings about the sights, sounds and smells of the largest city in Thailand.  He also warns guys to be conscious of the ladies of the third gender.

If you have never been to Bangkok, you will definitely be humbled.  As soon as you walk out of the baggage claim location at Suvarnabhumi you will be overwhelmed by the maddening crowd waiting outdoors the door.

A sea of yellow shirts (in honor of the King) will be blocking your way.  Some will have indicators with names on them attempting to find a wayward traveler.  Other individuals will be armed with clipboards touting taxis at ridiculously higher rates.

Fighting via this narrow gauntlet is even far more hard with two suitcases and a backpack.  The taxi mafia will not take "No" for an answer  even if you say it ten times in five diverse languages.

They will persist and stick to you, block your way, and annoy you so significantly that you will want to punch them.  But, you relax and understand exactly where you are and why you are there.

You are in Bangkok.  It is the City of Angels in the Land of Smiles.  You know from your analysis that a smile and a cool heart will go far in this gorgeous country.  So, you smile and make your way to the escalator and locate yourself on the initial floor.

You head outside and discover the legal taxi line-up and make your way to the makeshift tables and inform the cute girl exactly where your hotel is.  The fee for finding a legal taxi is all of 50 Baht  which is about $1.50 USD.

Your taxi driver will aid you with your bags and normally ask you if you want to take the tollway.  If you want to get to your hotel in less than one particular hour, agree.  It will only cost you a small extra.  Your cabbie may also want to negotiate a fee with out employing his meter.  This is technically illegal, but it is up to you to work out a fair price tag, or use the meter.  If he refuses to use the meter, ask for one more driver.  You definitely want to establish this just before you get in the cab.

If you are arriving from America, you will discover that the steering wheel is on the "other" side of the automobile and that you are driving on the "incorrect" side of the road.  Relax, and get employed to it.  Just be careful when you are a pedestrian and crossing the street.  Look both methods about ten occasions prior to crossing  even if you are crossing a 1-way street.

You are possibly experiencing sensory overload.  Seeing all of the billboards along the tollway, the automobiles speeding in and out in some sort of controlled chaos, and the smells of the city, you might wonder what planet you are on.  Every single corner of Bangkok has a diverse aroma  some pleasing and some putrid.

Arriving at your hotel you check in and then have to determine whether to go out or catch up on the many time zones you have just crossed.

If you do decide to go out and expertise the Bangkok nightlife, just bear in mind what Murray Head sang "1 night in Bangkok, and the challenging guys tumble! Cant be as well cautious with your organization. I can feel the devil walkin subsequent to me."  Be careful out there. [http://www.500cars.com/ via]
