Nong`s life.

Bangkok, 25-01-2009. The Somtam with sticky rice I had during my dinner with Nong is slowly and pleasurably being digested ny my belly`s digestive juices which I`m rewarding with Black Cat Whiskey mixed with cubes of ice and a generous shot of Red Bull energy drink - not a combination to try...

Twenty-one today! (and the next day)

Checking out of the hotel in Luang Namtha, the guy on the desk was very slow, in fact he had to get out of bed to serve us. Then our breakfast was slow arriving, which meant that we missed the Sawngthaew that had been filling up with people when we first went out. We had been planning to travel...

Walking with my daughter in Bangkok

Bangkok, 24-01-2009. How make Karma work, by paying free Tiger Beer to Hot Mommas on Pattaya`s boulevard, give them the key to your room so they can have a much needed shower, a quick nap on the bed, let them have the worthless bunch of second hand T-shirts that I put in my backpack just for...

Elephant Island

(by Katie) We're back in Bangkok again, after an amazing week on an island paradise spent fine-tuning our travel plans and unwinding from the craziness that is huge Asian cities. Ko Chang is a relatively large island off the south coast of Thailand, and its name means (as you may have...

The Dutch Farang Bench in Pattaya

Pattaya, 22-01-2009. There is that Western side of my stupid farang mind always looking for rational explications to an unsolvable dilemma, always wanting to knop that which it shouldn`t question, 24/7 in conflict with itself and trying hard to get rich, stay in the picture fast and...
