Suki Yaki in Sukhothai

The day after Songkran was over, Chiang Mai was a completely different city. All of the temporary stages had been removed, the permanent traffic jam round the moat was gone, and so were all the people intent on soaking everyone. I had been sure there would be a few stragglers who kept a little...

Caves!!!

Day 22 Ya! Actually did something today…..Went to Chiang Dao to see the caves. Man I’m happy I’m an Earth Science major. Probably the most fun I’ve had here. Pictures or stories don’t do it justice, but I’ll try posting pictures. Found a lake with a huge drop off into the abyss. Came...

Programmed by a smart bomb

Kho Tao, 28-01-2009. For a moment I believe my eyes are alive with neon light, for a moment I see a gold colored light beaming off an endless and interminable row of Buddhas whose crazy but divine smiles grin at me in a mystic way, trying to tell me something.....? Did he know my dream,...

Happy Easter!

(by Katie) Greetings from the peaceful north! Not sure if you've been watching the news, but in case you haven't, there's been a little unrest in Bangkok recently and we're not anywhere near it. To briefly explain what I've surmised, in 2006 the elected president, Thaksin, was kicked out...

Chiang Mai: Songkran at its craziest!

The life of a scuba dive master/instructor on Kho Tao

Kho Tao, 27-01-2009. No more fat middle-aged men walking the boulevard in [[Myanmar-(Burma)/Pattaya]] with a Hot Momma on their arm maybe half their age, girls that look like overjoyed pussycats that have finally nailed a fat mouse - the word "fat" goes both ways here I presume. Instead I...

Crazy Kids!!!

Happy Songkran!

(Katie) Or, in English, Happy New Year! Yes, that's right, it's here again already! If you've ever had trouble keeping your resolutions and wished for another, mid-year chance to scrap them and start over, the Thais have you covered. They like New Years festivities so much, they...
