In terrestrial affairs we think of “big” as being complicated; a city is more intricate than a village, an ocean more complicated than a puddle.

Many people nowadays are keen to get away from it all for a couple of weeks without putting too much of a (52) ____ on the environment. In terms of maintaining the moral high ground, the benefits of an ecotourism holiday seem overwhelming. But just how environmentally-friendly can we make topping up our tans? And for those who want to go a(n) (53) _____ further and drastically reduce their environmental impact, how much do we really need to (54) ______ it? The answer, it seems, is more complicated than you might at first think. For those who (55) _______ a bit of luxury in a warm climate, there are countless resorts to choose from, aimed squarely at cash rich, time poor Europeans and North Americans. Resorts like Australia’s Turtle Beach and Malaysia’s Sukai Resort are on a par with some of the most luxurious non-eco establishments. But they don’t come cheap. A one-week (56) ______ holiday for two at one of these places can easily set you back two thousands pounds. Plus there’s the awkward fact that you still need to cover considerable distances in some gas-guzzling mode of transport to get there in the first place. Surprisingly, nearer the other end of the scale, a week of luxury at the UK’s pricest and most polluting resort, Gluttonness in Scotland turns out to be more than an equal for the eco-tourism rainforest options when you factor in the huge carbon footprint that your flight would otherwise create.

GETTING AROUND BANGKOK
A. Skytrain: The Bangkok Skytrain (BTS, pronounced bee-tee-et in Thai) deserves a visit simply for the Disneyland space-ageness of it. Built in a desperate effort to ease Bangkok’s insane traffic and pollution, the Skytrain covers most of downtown and is especially convenient for visiting the Siam Square area. There are two lines: the light green Sukhumvit line which travels along Sukhumvit road, and the dark green Silom line, which travels from the Silom area, interchanges with the Sukhumvit line at Siam Square (C) and terminates near the Chatuchak Weekend Market (N8). There isn’t, unfortunately, a station near Banglampu District ( aka the Khao San Roand area), but you can tae a river ferry to Tha Sathorn for the Silom line terminus at Saphan Taksin (S6). You must have 5 or 10 baht coins to purchase Skytrain tickets from the vending machines near the entrance, so hold on to them. Fares range from 10 to 45 baht depending upon how many zones you are traveling. Consult the map (in English) near each ticket machine. If you do not have coins, you may need to queue for change from the staff at the booth. If you are in town for several days, weigh your options and consider a rechargeable stored value card (200 baht), a “ride all you like” tourist pass or multiple ride pass of 10 trips or more. They will certainly save you time, scrambling for coins, and maybe even money. Check for information with the English speaking staff.
B. By boat: A ride on the Chao Phraya River should be high on any tourist’s agenda. The cheapest and most popular option is the Chao Phraya Express Boat, basically an aquatic bus plying up and down the river. The basic service plies from Wat Rajsingkorn (S4) all the way to Nonthaburi (N30) for 6 to 10 baht depending on distance, stopping at most of Rattanakosin’s major attractions including the Grand Palace, the Temple of Dawn, etc. In addition to the basic service, there are express service flagged with yellow or orange flags, which stop only at major piers and should be avoided unless you’re sure where’re going. The new signposting of the piers is quite clear, with numbered piers and English route maps, and the Central station offers easy interchange to the BTS Saphan Taksin station.
