Indian visa and electronics shopping in Bangkok

That evening we gave the buckets a miss because we had to get to the Indian Embassy next day, so we decided to have an early night and then the family waking us early would be no problem. We hadn't counted on the band playing heavy metal covers until nearly 2am. The next morning we were...

A Chinese receptionist lady

Thailand, Kho Samui, Na Thon, 01-02-2009, early afternoon. I leave the ferry with my English Ting-Tong travel buddy in hot pursuit telling me repeatedly that we need to find a cheap guesthouse. Now I have no intentions to share a guesthouse, let well a room with this little young and...

Flight of the Gibbon

(Michael) Greetings all again from the wonderful north of Thailand. Alright guys, I'm going straight to the point. Imagine, if you will, zipping along through the jungle canopy, far above the floor below. You're flying from tree to tree, hooked into a harness, using a network of cables that...

A Ting-Tong victim

on the ferry from Kho Tao to Kho Samui, Na Thon. 01-02-2009. Primitive sorcery, superstitious beliefs and a fascination with the animal spirituality are rife in the head of any Thai, be it male or female. Even the ferry from Kho Tao to Kho Samui has a small spirit house with burning insence...

Vegetarianism and Violence in Bangkok

The next morning we were woken again early by the family who run our guesthouse. I don't understand why you would run a business like that. We tried to sleep through the noise which eventually quietened down about 9am. The result of this is that we were too late to apply for our Indian...

Bangkok and Khaosan Orientation

When we arrived from Sukhothai at Bangkok Northern Bus Station, our guidebook told us which local buses would take us to Khaosan Road, which we had decided to stay near, but no on. However, where we alighted, there was no sign of any local buses and no obvious way of getting information:...

On the way to total oblivion

Kho Tao, 31-01-2009. As a human I`m at the end of a Karmic cycle being in the possession of the posibility to move on to the Buddhist concept of Nirvana, the Christian belief of Heaven or maybe a one-way ticket to Allah`s divine Kingdom. The only thing I`ve to do is listen to the morality...

A female elefant trap

Kho Tao, 30-01-2009. The gigantic flatscreen TV in the Flower Restaurant shows an over-muscled Arnold Schwarzenegger quick-shooting his enemies with an enormous gun, his face full with camouflage colors and set in a grotesque grin, explosions go off all around him killing off even more enemy...

A paddle trip around Kho Nang-Yuan

Kho Tao, 29-01-2009. I`m still suffering from a lethel dose of heart burn after my night together with Nong in Krung Thep - as the Thais call Bangkok. Maybe a Farang lady-friend for a week or so could take care of my emotional stability, a week of passion on this tropical paradise where the...
