The next day we woke up and went for breakfast. What a great view…and this really was a quiet place J   After that, we met at the beach with our guide. Hoped in to the longtail and went straight to our first stop.   It was a ½ hour ride to the first island (koh hong, I think..). It was a national park with a lovely bay with thousands of fishies…and not many people.   This island was hit by the tsunami in 2004 and you could still see many boats destroyed in the mid…

finally, today it was time to visit phi phi lay ( / leh), the sister island where the beach from the movie 'the beach' was filmed. still skeptical about boat trips since the debacle in nha trang i only booked a sunset tour from 1500 to 1900. tours are quite expensive (450 baht) partly because of national park fees, but include non-alcoholic drinks and fried rice dinner. and the boat trip was actually quite nice! the backpacker crowd on board and a quiet guide :) first stop for some snorkeling…

My friend and i spent 4N3D in Krabi Island. We arrived there in 8.30am. The driver come and pick us up from the airport the our hotel. Before we arrived our hotel we can see many peoples along the beach and krabi town, this is because it's happend that this weekend is Thailand holidays " Songkran holidays" , therefore besides tourist and there's  many local peoples hang around at this beach. Day 1 = We visit some temple and enjoy the delightful local foods, the weather really hot ,…

  I miss them, not only the beach but the old team. That was the last time that i had a chance to have fun with them. Even though travel with a big group was a fuss but that was the best fuss i have ever had.

I was working in phuket at the end of 2006. However, I met this family who want to go to Lanta island for work/holiday. So, i asked them to tag along..  I do not wish to bore you with the detail on how I convince them to take me with them. (Let just say, they are really nice family) We left phuket early morning, the road trip is going north pass Phuket International airport and cross the bridge toward mainland thailand. The trip take around three half hour, although we stop by to …

Just some pics of my daily activity.

Last week I went for an oil massage (250 baht, 1 hour) in a rather dingy green, backroom of a massage shop in Ao Luk...whilst laying there semi naked I turned round to find one of the students I teach , she works there as a masseur - slightly embarrasing!  Whilst the massage was lovely and relaxing, my legs were still in agony after walking up and down the 1237 steps at the tiger temple - I tried to explain in actions to the the masseur to go gently. she did for …

28/01/06 Spent all day today travelling to Krabbi. First a taxi, then boat, then a random trailer bus thing, thena  local bus which was boiling and people took buckets of fish on, thought it would be 10mins but actually over 2 hours! Then a tuktuk and then a coach and then another trailer bus thing. Eventually found a place to stay in krabbi Grabbed some thai food with another canadian guy, incidentally with the same name as the one from yesterday! The food was pretty spicy, at poi…

If you are thinking of going to Thailand.....I have one word: GO! Beautiful Beaches, Friendly Faces...and best of All your money goes far!

The low cost flight from BKK to Phuket by Airasia is not to bad, i spend only 3,000 Baht for round trip. The transportation is not easy except you stay in the popular beach as Patong, Karon  and Kata. For my case, i stay in Cha Long Bay, it's not popular beach and the beach is not quite beautiful when comparing to the  Patong and Karon because Cha Long Bay is the Fishing and Speed Boat Port for going to PP Island. The best way if you have only afew day…

A trip from Bangkok to Koh Phi Phi...

We arrive via Tiger Airways and head by boat to Railey.. we we fetched by this amphibious vehicle right to our doorstep! It was a nice short breaks... you can see from the photo montage

This island is located at the edge of the Than Bokkhorani National Park, and is accessible via boat from Ao Phra nang. The trip takes about an hour, but is well worth it, as Hong Island is home to a beautiful sandy beach, and some wonderful deep and shallow water coral deposits. Hong Island stands out as one of the most beautiful island of the Andaman coast. As your approach from the sea the towering limestone formations and crystal clear water inspire images of deserted Dream Island. Pelay…

A week before songkran, we came to know that, its gonna be a holiday for us(working on a holiday happens most of the time), So we were all set to find some place to chill out, but unfortunately we didnt get any flight tickets to phuket or chiang mai. Finally with a help of some thai persons, we were able to get tickets on a tour to krabi and trang. We checked the website, it was all in thai, we managed to get some pics, it looked fine ,so we decided to go , without knowing what…

great place to chill or party
