After a relaxing start to the day - the usual (lame) inclusive breakfast by the mangrove smattered sea front - it’s time for a little physical exertion. A miniature adventure, right to the hidden heart of the Railay peninsula. It’s landlocked tidal lagoon. The lagoon sits in the middle of a fo…

Greetings travelers and travel readers! I am not exactly sure where the Asian winds will be taking me, but I have from today, Jan 4, 2008 through April 25 (or when my money runs out) to tour around. Please pop in and see what shenanigans and adventures have come my way.

Last night's Muay Thai was really interesting.  Yikes though...they are vicious!  There were teens that fought first and then the adults but they looked almost the same size.  It was great but My-Van and I were so exhausted....we only made it to the 8th match and then headed off to b…
