Private Bangkok

OK. It’s maybe not the update you are most interested in but I added a small news section. It feeds off other Bangkok sites so you kind of get more news in one place now. Bangkokrecorder is quite good on finding up-to-date info on clubbing, nightlife (the family friendly type), art, fashion and a lot of other things. The Nation is my favorite English language newspaper here. If you know of any other good Bangkok related websites that uses RSS, please let me know and I consider adding it, too.

Just wanna say sorry for the lack of updates in the past 2 weeks or so but as most of you have heard by now, a destroyed underwater cable in Taiwan has caused the Internet in Thailand to slow down so much that it was (and still is) nearly impossible to do anything online. Now they finally started repairing this underwater line and the connection is starting to get better. So Ill try to catch up a bit now. Thanks for your understanding.

A lot of our friends living abroad seem to be a bit scared about coming to Thailand and especially Bangkok at the moment because of the coup that happened here. Rest assured that it is really not as bad as the press might make you believe. There has been no violence anywhere and not even demonstrations that we heard of. The streets are back to normal and nightlife has not been affected. In fact, some places seem to be able to open longer again than the 2AM curfew time. So if you had planned a trip to Bangkok, don’t change your travel plans yet as it is not necessary right now. If things change, we will report again.
