There will be a “Fine for unregistered Drone with the NBTC is 100,000 baht or five years in prison or both”. “You must register with NBTC within 30 days of entering Thailand or purchasing a drone in Thailand even if you do not fly it.” Yikes. 5 years in a Thai prison doesn’t sound fun […] The post 30 Days Drone Registration in Thailand appeared first on Live Less Ordinary: Bangkok Based Bloggers Travelling in Asia & Beyond ..read more

I honestly find that the clichés of floating markets and triangle hats have been left long to the past when it comes to tourist attractions.

For years I was in continuous indecision in buying drones in Thailand, flagging price alerts, but never finding anything practical for our travels. As size will always factor majorly with drones for travellers, because the only decent DJI drones were bulky in size in the past, and they literally needed a separate bag for travel.

Sacred threads, or “Sai Sin” as they’re known in Thai, are probably best known for their use as string bracelets occasionally picked up by tourists and travellers on their travels. But these meager cuts of string bracelet often come from a much longer string that has been blessed by monks in Buddhist ritual.

It is often a worry with hotel reviews that we may fail to find more to add to past experiences, almost expecting a copy and paste from past accommodations. Yet here, at Bangkok Marriott Marquis Queen’s Park, we find the complete opposite, as we are almost overwhelmed by the scale of what the hotel has to offer.

I was very much left behind, eating Pokédust, when Pokémon Go first launched in Thailand. At the time I was back in Bangor in Northern Ireland (UK) held back by a whole bunch of limitations, like not even owning a phone (as I otherwise never use them). I did ask Fanfan to borrow hers but […] The post The Travels of a Pokédork appeared first on Live Less Ordinary: Bangkok Based Bloggers Travelling in Asia & Beyond ..read more

By now we have covered this Singapore to Thailand route a whole bunch of times, following various inland and coastal routes, on trains, planes and automobiles. But my favourite will forever be the rail routes, where recently (2022) we travelled the entire way from Singapore to Bangkok by train (in the video below).

I would never expect people to travel from Bangkok to Korat for their malls specifically, but I personally spend near half the year in the further flung rice fields of Isaan, so our visits to Korat (aka Nakhon Ratchasima) are more for long-lost comforts in the best malls in Korat city centre. “They have air-con … The Megamalls of Korat: Thailand Read More » The post The Megamalls of Korat: Thailand appeared first on Live Less Ordinary: Bangkok Based Bloggers Travelling in Asia & Beyond ..read more
