Welcome to the Third World

Krabi, 10-02-2009. I wake up in my 120 Baht room, a windowless box with with green colored tarpaulin on the floor sticky to me feet because of the dirt, the only furniture a metal frame supposed to be a bed with a thin dirty matrass on it. The sheets gray with age I had to put on the matrass...

A cycle trip to Bokkharani National Park

Krabi, 09-02-2009. Small little mozzies look for a safe spot on my sunburned legs to roost, suck away on my sweet blood. They better be carefull though! I got my eyes on them and will most definitely squash them the moment they will settle down on my reddish flesh. I might be an animal...

Hoch im Norden

Die Bootsfahrt heute war echt super! Tolle Ausblicke und Eindruecke...Landschaft...Menschen...Tiere...einfach das Leben pur... In Chiang Rai angekommen haben wir das von uns ausgesuchte Guesthouse im Wald leider nicht gefunden (scheint nicht mehr zu existieren). Dafuer haben wir jetzt,...

Den Touristenstroemen entflohen...

Heute sind wir mit dem Public Bus von Chiang Mai nach Fang gefahren, einer Grenzstadt direkt bei Myanmar (die Grenze lag in Sichtweite). Wir wollten den 11:30 Bus nehmen, sind dann schon um 10:30 losgefahren, das war wahrscheinlich der regulaere 9:30 Bus...wie auch immer, wir sind angekommen,...

A Swede, a Ladyboy, and Staphylococcus

After our final dive, we had a much more pleasant return journey on the Colona than the ride out on the speedboat had been. After we dropped Jeff off at the airport and some people off at their posh hotels, for example Jeff and Catherine had been staying at the Hilton, so Catherine was dropped...

Der Norden

15 Stunden Zugfahrt koennen anstrengend sein, besonders wenn alles rappelt, unter einem das Dieselaggregat fuer die Klima und Strom die Abgase und Vibrationen mitgibt...naja, irgendwann ist man so muede, dass man dann doch einschlaeft... Gestern morgen gegen 12:00 mit knapp 1 1/2 stuendiger...

Wat Tham Seua aka Tiger Cave Temple

Wat Tham Seua, 08-02-2009. Wat Tham Seua aka Tiger Cave Temple is not like most Wats in Thailand. A temple might be a place of worship but still a dusty place with scrawny dogs lazily scratching their flea ridden behinds, temple cats desperately and in vain trying to keep the temple grounds...

Diving in the Similan Islands

We didn't get much sleep the night before we left for diving as the room was incredibly hot. We've been saving money by not getting air-conditioning, but recently we had been in quite a lot of places with small wall-mounted fans instead of big ceiling fans, which was making me think twice about...

My first impressions of Krabi

Krabi, 07-02-2009. Krabi is quite a busy affair these days, small budget hostels where a weary backpack traveller can rest and sleep untill the ferry to Kho Phi-Phi will depart, cozy restaurants serve sweet pancakes for breakfast while long-tail boat owners approach any Farang face looking...
