Thailand - the first few days

I made it through customs in Krabi with no fuss, no questions. I guess I just look like a trustworthy character. Jumped on the bus from the bus to the airport to Ao Nang. My beach side destination. I would compare it to a place like Maroochydore in Australia, not too busy, not too quiet. ...

Tribal Trekking

This was the trip I was waiting for all summer. It was a dream of mine ever since I came to Thailand to do a trip like this. I thought about the logistics of it often. I talked to students last year to get ideas of what they would like and what they could handle. …And here it is. The plans...

Return to Thailand

We arrived back in Bangkok, with three & a half weeks remaining. Our whirlwind tour of Asia was due to end with time to revisit some of our favourite places, so everything was on schedule. The famous Khao San Road...a hive of activity with tourists everywhere - with equal numbers of Thai...

Ahka Wedding

Our Come With Nothing, Go Home Rich Trip has entered its third and final week. Brooke was stuck in the hospital with a sick girl the entire first week, and both Brooke and I were sick most of the second week. We needed a change of pace. For those of you that don’t know what the Come With...

A cycling guide’s worst nightmare…

It’s day 2 of our Tribal Trekking group. We are much happier with this group than our last one as it only has 5 students compared to the 16 we had on the previous trip. We have just got our bikes and are ready to go out for a warm up ride. The next two days will be long, strenuous days and we...

Lesson planning and Thai massage

First thing today we joined in with the morning activities: after meditation, the children play games and, despite having been up since 5am for chores, they are little balls of energy, fighting for our attention and demanding cuddles and treats. Afterwards, we planned a simple lesson on...

The day I discovered I'm worse at art than a six year old

We began our first ‘work’ day at Moo Baan Dek with an orientation talk in the school assembly room with the vice principal. Enlightening as it was, our attention was firmly fixed on the progress of a huge tarantula clinging to the ceiling in front of us…sure enough, it soon lost its grip and...

Demonic cows and curious giraffes

Our first night in Thailand was...eventful. Highlights included one of a local farmer's cows - which I decided to rename 'Hellcow' - escaping and spending a good half hour circling our house and ringing the VERY loud bell around its neck, followed at 4am by some early-rising rebel playing...
