Fascinating Phitsanulok




One of my favourite cities in Thailand is Phitsanulok. Situated in northern Thailand on the railway line between Bangkok and Chiang Mai it has a lot to offer in terms of shopping, a great night bazaar which features the famous Flying Vegetable Restaurant and a great insight into regional Thai life. The night bazaar is more relaxed than that on offer at Chiang Mai and offers a variety of eating choices and drinking choices one of which is the Flying Vegetable Restaurant in which they cook morning glory and fling it into the air for a waiter to climb up a van to catch it if your lucky. This show is best viewed during high season. For more on Phitsanulok and other Thailand destinations visit http://www.orientingtravellers.com.au/

Bangkok Billboards







An unusual feature I noticed in my travels around Bangkok was the larger than life billboard advertising. The advertising technique involves transposing a basically two dimensional format that erupts into three dimensional giving an outstanding. Attched are two examples which may help describe this effect better. For more information on Bangkok and Thailand please visit http://www.orientingtravellers.com.au/
