INTERNATIONAL ADVENTURES Skybar on the 63rd floor of the Dome BANGKOK THAILAND 100 Michael Chick General manager, The Coffee Club Thailand INSIDER’S TIP: A trip to the famous Wat Po temple, home of the reclining Golden Buddha. A great way to get there is to catch the Sky Train to the river and jump on a ferry. A must-do at Wat Po is to get a traditional Thai massage by one of the many trained blind masseuses. LOCAL DELICACY: A must try is the mango sticky rice dessert. BEST PLACE TO HANG OUT WITH THE LOCALS: The weekend markets at Chatuchak offer locals and tourists 35 acres of shopping, eating and entertainment. Best buys are household items, clothing and Thai handicrafts. Pick up a map at the entrance and a fresh coconut drink to sip on as you wander around. MOST ROMANTIC SPOT: Enjoy the sunset and drinks at the Skybar located on the 63rd fl oor of the Dome at Lebua State Tower Building. BANGKOK FROM THE AIRPORT CBD 30km from Suvarnabhumi International Airport Travel time Around 40 mins by car Taxi Approx THB300 (AU$9.30) Airport Express THB150 (AU$4.60); takes around 60 mins ON THE GO 1. BTS Skytrain and MRT These two train systems travel overand underground to get you to all the major points in Bangkok. 2. Tuk-tuk This method of transport offers an exhilarating ride around the streets, but is best for short distances only. Phi Phi Island off Phuket PHUKET THAILAND Bhatara Amornrattanakij Public relations manager, Dusit Thani Laguna Phuket BEST PLACE TO PARTY WITH THE GANG: Hit The Famous Club; it’s a rooftop lounge with a pool. MUST-BUY (MONEY NO OBJECT!): Paintings by local artists to decorate your living space back home. They’re a great reminder of the good times you spent in Phuket. MUST-EATS: Try nam prik goong siab – Phuket-style dipping sauce made of dried shrimp, chillies and smoked shrimp paste, served with fresh and boiled vegetables. You should also try the massaman curry served with roti bread or steamed rice. I LOVE PHUKET BECAUSE: I’m a Bangkok girl who appreciates the idyllic beaches, beautiful sunsets, stunning waterfalls and peaceful rubber plantations of Phuket. It’s also a plus point that my favourite beach — Bang Tao beach — is a hop and a skip away from my workplace. PHUKET FROM THE AIRPORT Patong Beach 32km from Phuket International Airport Travel time Patong Beach is around 45 mins by car Taxi Approx THB400 (AU$12.40) Shuttle bus Every 30 mins at THB70 (AU$2.15); takes about 60 mins ON THE GO 1. Motorbike A cheap and convenient way to explore all the tiny lanes around the beach — but drive with care! 2. Tuk-tuk This method of transport offers an exhilarating ride, but is best meant for travelling short distances only. BANGKOK PHOTO: WWW.LEBUA.COM; PHUKET PHOTO: ARESA CORPORATION LIMITED
