Bangkok

There is a lot of bad press out about Bangkok being a seedy town and it is, especially around the foreigner areas, but overall I thought it was more scenic than expected. After arriving by a combination of taxi and train from Siem Reap we had a taxi take us to Kao San road (not sure if I...

Amazing Bike Tour round Ko Yao Noi

James picked us up first thing in his minivan, then collected Imran and Nanee, a nice couple from Singapore, on the way to Ko Yao Noi, a small island in Phang Nga Bay, near to Phuket. The tour around the island was at a nice sedate pace and the terrain was very easy, with only a little bit...

Latest Itinerary

These are our remaining flights as Joanne rescheduled them in Phuket. The South American leg of our trip has shrunk so much now that we may be forced to reduce it to highlights. So the original American plan is completely out of the window at the moment. It's certainly impossible to make the...

A benign spirit that turns evil

Kho Samui, Na Thon, 06-02-2009. I awake to a familiar ghost gnawing at my inmortal Phi, my Western Farang soul being devoured at an alarming rate leaving me clammy and sweaty in my bed, grayish sheets wed to the touch with my perspiration. In my mind`s eye still half inside the dream...

Tourist Season Terminated with Extreme Prejudice

The overnight bus from Bangkok arrived in Ranong without a hitch and when we checked our luggage is had not been tampered with, not that we had really expected a problem on a bus where almost everyone was Thai. Our plan was to find our way into town for breakfast before heading to the ferry...

On the Way

Well….didn’t make it. Went to bed. Woke up to Justin telling me to wake up. I looked outside, and the rain was coming down. A true toad strangler. Never seen it rain sooo hard. Then the lightning started. It was banging all night long. Went back to bed. Day 32 Sunday. Went to the...

The Life of Pai

(Katie) The teeny-tiny town of Pai is about 5 square blocks of peace, adventure, and great dining in the northern Thai hills, and it has been our home and place of convolescence for the last week and a half. We've stayed here longer than planned, due to a now-healed sprain Michael suffered...
