Dreadlocks and Ladyboys (Bangkok Part 2)

Through all the dazzle and glory of Bangkok's economy and culture lies massive amounts of pollution and Western influence. The photos above were taken from a longboat on Bangkoks main river, Chao Phraya. Los Angeles has nothing on this! The taste of pollution and raw sewage in many places...

Andaman Coast

We woke to the sound of hooting Gibbons at around 7am on the last day at the Khao Sok National Park . With our sexy scooter raring to go, we set off on a day long adventure to find the Dam. We arrived at the main viewpoint to find a huge lake with long tailed boats cruising from one side to...

Dreadlocks and Ladyboys

Finally completing the intensive traveling (and jetlagged) part of my trip is a godsend, and being able to relax without having to necessarily go anywhere or do anything has been great. That being said, many interesting things have happened, from my Ringat-less, fraud-protected-credit-card...

Gulf Coast

After settling down in Ko Samui, we got another motorbike as its by far the easiest and cheapest way to get around. We did most of the usual tourist spots, which were pretty impressive! Our first stop was Samui Aquarium, where the marine life was spectacular. We fed some turtles some lettuce...

Sunday night fights in Bangkok

We arrived in Bangkok Saturday evening and we slept half of Sunday away, so we didn't really do much till Sunday afternoon. After getting familiar with the subway/sky train system we took river boat to a bar and then a tuktuk to a local stadium for Muay Thai - Thai kick-boxing. I had visions...

After saying bon voyage to India, we said sawadee-ka to Thailand! We arrived in Bangkok at midday on the 27th to the sight of tuk-tuks and multicoloured taxis. Bangkok was another very busy city, which can only be expected for a capital city. Although the busyness was reminiscent of Delhi, there...

Bon Voyage India!

After spending Christmas at the zoo and having a Chinese for dinner, our trip through India had come to an end. So we think we should close this trip with a reflection on our experiences in India. After only a week in India, we were questionning why we came here. It seemed like a smelly,...
