Bangkok Thailand Trips offered on Khao San Road.
I think Khao San Road make a person immune to strange or unusual, sometimes I find myself not even thinking or reacting to strange. If I closed my eyes and opened them again on Khao San Road, cleaned my brain of any prior knowledge of Khao San Road here in Bangkok, Thailand and I would maybe think
- I am at the circus -
People do dress as if they are clowns.
Most people on Khao San Road seem to have tattoos, body piercing, strange clothes, the - I Love Genie - clothing and I suspect many will never find a good job; they have left the norm and strayed too far.
However, I was looking at the novel ever-interesting list of possible trips offered at Nat Tours by Jeroen and Wife; they may have the most interesting signs on the planet. I am on Khao San Road, - Center of the Backpacker Universe - Bangkok, Thailand, a true - Never Never Land - where if you are Peter Pan you never have to grow up. Thus, all dreams are possible, and therefore maybe I think there is nothing strange about a trip to North Korea, Kabul, Afghanistan, Helicopters tours in Kyrgyzstan, Ice Diving at the North Pole, or just a normal trip to Libya. I am definitely not in Kansas anymore.
I personally am keen on the somewhat boring trip to Iran and maybe a stopover in Afghanistan, and a normal trip to Nepal.
North Korea, a fine place to visit.
Hello Kyrgystan, next stop on anyones agenda.
Just another boring trip, off to Afghanistan, buy a ticket, grab my passport, and take the taxi to the airport, so what else is new.
I would like to go to the North Pole, especially the area north of Russia, never thought about the possibility of Scuba Diving.
I am sure the French go there all the time, however in reality the world is becoming very safe, ignore what your see, hear or read, the world is a safe place, and as always, someone will sell you a ticket or tour.
Jeroen at Nat Tours just off of Khao San Road can sit around and discuss the pros and cons of many interesting locations. He for sure is making my life easier as many of the common locations have been checked off or ticked as life goes by.

Steve here from ExtremeTourist.com.
With respect to North Korea they will be opening their doors to American's - yes, US Citizens, for what I believe is the fourth time in recent history later this year.
See: http://www.extremetourist.com/features/feature.php?id=110157
The above link is general editorial information.
FWIW, it doesn't appear to be cheap, but if you're a US Citizen this is a rare opportunity to see a culture that probably won't be around for long.
Happy Travels!
