RE: Calling for Advice: We're Going to India!

in #travelfeed6 years ago

Great news! You NEED to go to see the earth-built ashram in Rishikesh - @eco-alex has been busy with that project for more than a while and has a few cool steem posts about that.

Bangkok? Urgh. We always detour and avoid, cos it adds a layer of cost. MEL-KL and then KL-Delhi cheaper when I check at this end. And faster.

Holler if you're going to Crete (how could you go to Greece and miss Crete?) - my essential oil distiller, Yanni, would love to be interviewed for Natural Medicine!

NICE you have made the decision.... the Eco Villlage in Portugal will be in build phase by then too!

Yay! And we're planning Melbourne in April for my mum's 84th birthday and you won't be there. Sigh.

Sort:  

Sigh indeed! We looked at all options with all airlines and in the end via BKK was best. I don't mind Bangkok. Absolutely no point saying coulda woulda shoulda now lol. Will do on that earthship for sure! Can't wait.

Most important thing is you've DONE IT and are opening the cage door. That matters. We feel obliged to caution you that you may never fit back in the way you think... LOL... or you may never come back beyond a quick trip to clean up & sell. LOL. ALL GOOD.

Enjoy the process and the journey - it has already begun.

Haha true!!!! I was thinkinh that... imagine just comimg back, selling up and moving to a Greek Island or somewhere in the Himalaya. Head up, heart open.

Ps recommendations of place to stay in Bangkok?

I personally always choose to stay in Silom. Getting around in BKK can suck most of your day. The airport stay places are convenient but a cultural wasteland LOL. Silom is old Bangkok, on the river, and a handy pivot point to the amazing public transport system and the river taxis. PLUS there loads of great Indian food around there, in addition to the older, less trendy and better value Thai offerings.

No particular place - I usually use booking.com

That is ABSOLUTELY fantastic inside info ... THANKS. I love booking.com. i only use it. It's the only place that calls me a genius too haha.
