Most clubs play different kinds of music depending on what type of night, with EDM (Electronic Dance Music), Trance and Techno, Hip Hop, House, and Dubstep being the most popular genres. The clientele will vary from location to location, but as a rule there is a mix of expats, tourists and wealthy Thais. For more down-market clubs, there are plenty that cater to a more tourist crowd in areas like the Khaosan road.

For those who prefer to spend their evenings or night in a bar environment, there are plenty of great bars in and around Bangkok. Some are roof top bars such as Cloud 47 with spectacular views across the city, while others like The Iron Fairies are uniquely themed and decorated.  Other bars you may want to consider visiting include Tuba bar, Maggie Choo’s, Hemingway’s Bangkok, About Eatery Bangkok, Vesper, Smalls bar, and Viva 8. Most of the bars have a great selection of drinks both imported and local, you can find most things from craft Belgian beers to high-end spirits.

Bangkok has food to suit every taste from delicious local fare sold by street vendors, to high-end restaurants run by Michelin star chefs. In terms of street food there are several dishes that travellers should try such as Fried Banana Pancake (Roti Gluay), Grilled Honey Roast Pork (Moo Yang), Thai Fried Noodles (Pad Thai) to name but a few. For travellers who fancy some high-end cuisine, there are several offerings from the Mezzaluna at the Lebua Hotel, which is a tour de force of world cuisine, to L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon, which offers modern French cuisine form the “chef of the Century” Joël Robuchon, who over his career has been awarded 28 Michelin stars.

In Northern Thailand, there are several small towns and villages that people can opt to visit, although the biggest and most popular destination in the North of Thailand is the ancient city of Chiang Mai.

Chiang Mai straddles the Ping river and is the largest and most culturally rich city in northern Thailand. Although its name in Thai means “New City”, it was founded in 1296, but was called that since it took over from the previous capital Chiang Rai. The city was founded by King Mengrai and is the unofficial capital of northern Thailand. In terms of economic and cultural importance, it is second only to Bangkok.

Commuting in Cordoba

The city can be accessed either by plane, train or by bus. As regional flights in Argentina can be quite expensive, most tourists travelling around Argentina tend to fly to Buenos Aires and then take the bus to Córdoba. You can also rent a car drive across the great plains that stretch across Argentina’s belly, but as the quality of the road’s on these parts varies from the good to the poor and the weather can be quite precarious, you’re better off leaving the driving to those who’ve been crossing these parts for years.

Airports

Córdoba only has one airport, the Ingeniero Aeronáutico Ambrosio L.V. Taravella International Airport, more commonly known as Pajas Blancas International. It’s the third largest airport in Argentina and is located about 9km from the centre. The main airline that operates in the airport is Aerolíneas Argentinas, but operators such as LAN and Air Europa also fly there.

To get to the city center from the airport there’s a bus service that runs regularly which costs around $2,50 AR, otherwise a taxi will cost you around $90 AR.

Trains

The train connection from Buenos Aires to Córdoba is one of the few remaining operating train lines in the country. It only operates two times a week but tickets are very cheap, in comparison to buses and plane flight, usually working out at around $50 AR for tourist class. However, the journey also takes about five hours more than bus journeys due to the deteriorated rails.

Make sure to buy your train tickets in advance, as they’re often sold out if you try to buy them on the day. You can also pay out for an upper class ticket, or a camarote ticket which comes with its own compartment and an upper and lower berth, but these tickets can sell out weeks in advance so you have to plan ahead. The train station itself is located near the bus terminal on Boulevard Perón 426-3565 and is in the suburb of Barrio Ferreyra which is in the south-east of the city.

Buses

The most popular form of public transport, you can get buses to Córdoba from all major cities and tourist towns in Argentina. Frequent buses run to Buenos Aires (8-11 hours), Rosario (5-7 hours) and Salta (12 hours) run throughout the day and most bus companies offer various types of ticket. As the journey tends to be quite long, many services will provide comfortable reclining seats, refreshments, entertainment and often meals. These can be pricey, however, with an average ticket to Buenos Aires costing around $850 AR.

The main bus terminal in Córdoba is located near the Río Suquía, where Boulevard Illía crosses with Boulevard Perón. It’s about a 15 minute walk to the center or a quick taxi ride.  You can also buy tickets and make reservations here.
