Backpackers, Tigers, and Temples - Chiang Mai

Yes, they let you chill with tigers here. Gotta love Thailand. We arrived in Chiang Mai Tuesday evening and finally were greeted with a scene full of foreign travelers. I guess we finally picked up the typical backpacker trail. We met a guy named Adam, an Israeli living in LA, who was...

Thailand mainland

So, as a result of my stupidity & the injury I incurred, I was unable to take advantage of the notoriously good scuba diving off of the Thai island on Koh Tao. With my arm in a sling for a week I was resigned to sitting around - which is far from my idea of a good time. I am very grateful to the...

Living on the River - Kanchanaburi

On Sunday we said goodbye to Joe and Bangkok and set off for Kanchanaburi. Kanch is a region made famous by the move, "The Bridge over the River Kwai," but also has many other things to offer the tourist/backpacker. We arrived at the bus stations and took a pcik-up truck taxi to the main...

Beach Life

I'm sitting at a bookstore right now on Koh Phi Phi, enjoying beach life. It's been pretty interesting here the last few days. Landscape wise, this is one of the most beautiful places I will probably ever see in my life. The scene, however, is totally different. The whole place is loaded...

Finding My Inner Buddha - Ayuttahaya

Yesterday we set off on an excursion with Joe, his girlfriend, Arm, and her friend, mother and grandmother. They had rented a luxurious minivan to travel in, and due to some extra space, they were gracious enough to invite us along for the day. It was great meeting the family and getting a...

Day 4 - Last Day - (6/21/2009)

So today I woke up at 5:30am and headed northwest to the bus terminal where i caught the 996 bus to Damnoen Saduak to see the floating market. The whole place is obviously marked for tourists but locals still go to buy fruits ands meats and what not, either way it was one hell of a time. I got...

Bangkok Sprawls and the "Must-Sees"

Bangkok has a type of confusion, chaos, and complexity that I have not experienced while traveling before. We did not come fully to grips with this until Joe (my Thai local friend) left us for only a few hours. But that comes a little later. Yesterday morning we woke up around 6AM - not...

Day 3 Kenny Finds A Starbucks (6/20/2009)

Today I woke up and headed to the weekend market. That place is crazy and yet very ordered. I had some random dishes with meat in them that I can't mention due to not knowing exactly what and a lot of random juices and pretty much just walked around aimlessly in the labyrinth like shopping...

1st Arrival

Three flights, two layovers, one Ambien, one sprint through the Hong Kong airport (JUST made my flight), and about 27 hours later I finally made it into Bangkok's international airport. Shortly after, I met Corey at the information terminal. Exhausted and somewhat delirious, fortunately we...
