Ayutthaya y el alemán que quería ser budista

De Bangkok nos hemos venido a Ayutthaya, ciudad-museo donde las haya, repleta de templos y ruinas, y de una gente extraordinaria. Llegamos con un sol de justicia y nos topamos con un hostal más que perfecto para relajarse y conocer gente. Hamacas, batidos, pájaros que te despiertan a voces,...

Keep smiling!

"Happy, happy!", as Thai people keep saying, that's how we feel. In the city with no supermarkets (we haven't seen any), everything can be bought and sold in the middle of the street, so our favourite activity is visiting the countless (and amazingly huge) street markets that can be found all...

El jetlag existe

Porque si no es así, qué coño hacemos en un cíber a las 3 y media de la mañana? Claro, que la otra alternativa es intentar dormir en nuestro maravilloso hotel de cinco estrellas, rodeadas de cucarachas, con un ventilador del siglo XVI y 50 grados a la sombra... La ciudad tampoco duerme, la...

12 hours in Bangkok, one last green curry!

Got rid of some books and spent as little as possible in Bangkok. Was chucking it down with rain and actually cold!!! Had a good green curry with shrimp for 50p. The street curry vendors (they make it fresh) here are excellent and really cheap. Definately the best thing about Bangkok, along...

Getting the Orange line in the right place!

Not a lot to say came back for a night and wound up going to this insane Thai cabaret which you had to buy a bottle of Johnny Walker Whisky to get into. Fortunately there where a few of us so it didnt get to messy though I stumbled home in the early morning and woke for my flight not long later.

Swimming with the fishes!

Whilst I was in Laos I met a few travellers who'd come from Thailand and I had asked them what to do with my spare 2 weeks here rather than hanging around in Bangkok. It was pretty unanimous that I should go to the islands and the majority also suggested doing my scuba training. For some reason...

Trekking Scouting Trip

No pictures of this yet, but a nice trip slideshow will be up on the web soon. I will send the link when it is avaliable. At the last second possible, I was told to head up towards Mae Hong Son to survey a route for a new program. Mae Hong Son is the province that is in the far Northwestern...

Why I Do What I Do

Take a minute to read this letter that I received from a parent of one of my students this summer. Reading this reminds me what I am actually doing here. For all of you that are wondering what I actually do here, this is it. This letter embodies everything that I am trying to accomplish....

3 days is plenty

Hung around for 3 days and eventually managed to get my Russian visa sorted. However it takes 11 days to prosess so i'm off to Koh Tao to do some scuba. Bangkok is pretty crazy and not all that pleasant. Went to the grand palace which was spectacular but did little else in an attempt to save a...

A stuttering start

Arrived at dawn and strolled down the Khaosan Road (Backpacker central!) to find a bed and was flanked by folks stumbling home from there nights out. Got a bed and a couple of hours kip then forced my self up to get started on the visas. I had planed on getting 2 this week but it aint gonna...
