I spent the entire day in my hotel room with the exception of going downstairs for breakfast and dinner (I had room service for lunch). I spent the time watching National Geographic on the TV and sleeping. I had packed everything and didn't want to go outside and get all sweaty and having to unpack…

A stop-over in Bangkok for the TB meet-up and a bit sightseeing in the morning before taking a flight to Phuket. Stayed at Khaosan Rd in a small room - Sawasdee Bangkok Inn knowing that I'm just there for a few hours as the meet-up lasted until the next morning, just fine for a short sleep to lie …

Today I took another long busride. This time to Bangkok. It started with a big bus in Siem Reap to the border at Poi Pet. After only a short time of waiting and surprisingly enough no extra dollars for "administrative costs" or "overtime" at the customs I was back in Thailand. The change from dusty…

sorry the pictures took me one million and five hundred years to upload! you forgive me, dont yah? oh so sweet you are peeps! 

At 5 o'clock in the morning our alarm went off. Terrible early for evening-people like us!! Unfortunately the staff of Happy House didn't serve coffee that early in the morning. There were a few drunken people downstairs, sleeping on the couches, people who just arrived from the airport were waitin…

The Last SupperAfter returning from Ayutthaya, I rejoined the group for a farewell dinner at restaurant around the corner from Khao San. I told the group about my foray into the world of solo travel and they shared stories about the slow boat from Luang Prabang to Thailand. Most of them thought…

Before I start let me say something about myself: I'm one of those guys that can detect the most subtle differences but I never see something obvious.  Read this entry and you will know why I'm saying this. This morning I wake up a little bit late,  knock at Dani's and Kim's ro…

Tonight after dinner I got ice cream from a place called Amaltery.  They serve what they call adult ice cream, meaning that most of their flavors have a 5% alcohol content.  All of the flavors are named after the cocktail that the ice cream is flavored like.  They have a wide assortm…

It's raining outside with the thunder. Rain today, again.. What a day.. :-(Packed, had buffet breakfast, checked out and …

After arriving in Bangkok after our 12 hour train ride from Surrathani, we were wrecked. The train journey was just like the last trip, noisy rattly, and not that much sleep. Well we got a little more sleep than we thought we would, but that might be down to the fact that we both had 2 big bottles …

Boarding a cruise ship is not as easy as it looks on the Love Boat. Since this is my first cruise, and since I was an avid watcher of the Love Boat and since we are sailing Princess Cruises, all of my references are to the show! We do not have a bartender named Isaac. :) From Bangkok we had to ge…

Natty organized a meetup in Bangkok. I don't know why she named the meetup special for me :P You ask her. The rest of the story is under construction.

It's our last day in Bangkok, and we're up at 7am to make sure we're all packed before heading down for breakfast. At 8am, our guide arrives and bundles us in the van as we make the hour plus trip to Damnoen Saduak floating market. Apparently, this floating market is now catered to the touri…

People i met here who contributed to, and improved my trip: Julia (Russia), Paul and Maddie (England)We got back to Bangkok in the early evening and found that the Hotel that we had stayed in earlier in the week was full, so Paul and I had a walk along Rambuttri to find another place to sleep. I…

As others have mentioned before, it´s hard to describe, what the meet-up was like! So I will just try to write an introduction and let the pics tell the story of the meet up itself. I took the Sky Train from Chong Nonsi to National Stadium about 75 minutes before we wanted to meet on Khaosan Road…
