my arrival into bangkok was as smooth as an international arrival could be - the flight pleasant, immigration was cake...and i got to khao san road easily by public transport.  and it was on that little mini bus that i was able to take a deep breath, or maybe let one out - i felt as if i hadbn…

  First trip to Thailand. First time solo-traveler too! Of course I have the right to feel anxious (mix of excitement and fright? hehe exaggeration!)   Went to Krabi Privince in the south of Thailand. I stayed in Ao Nang, which was fantastic as it was easy access to most of the islands…

I went to Phuket with a broken heart. I was supposed to visit the place with my ex-boyfriend, but we broke up just in time not to make it there together. Grabbed a buddy at the last minute, and to my surprise, I had 4 solid days of fun, heavenly lazing, and misadventures =) I was never a fan of Ph…

six hours in the bangkok airport turned out not to be bad at all. i ended up just doing a bunch of e-mail, reading & wandering around the MANY shops. then it was on to my flight to INDIA. wow, wow, wow - i can't believe it.

I decided to spend the remaining few days of my trip in Bangkok, so, I booked a "first class" sleeper from Surat Thani. Instead of arriving at 10:00pm it finally rolled in at 1:00am. I was told by a railroad official that the train, which originated in Malaysia, had been delayed due to muslim ins…

    I arrived for the first time in Bangkok on a humid afternoon in November 2005.  I had only just started backpacking, having gone to Mexico for three weeks about 2 months earlier, so I am pretty green.   But I know that I wanted to save as much money as possible,…

my re-match trip to Koh Samed with my beloved TB BKK gang ... Aioh, Dodge and Newtampo!!!

Pohjois-Laosista ei menny ku 36 tuntii, 10 eri kulkuneuvoo ja 29 euroo ett tanne paas ja huomenna jatketaan taas matkaa. Rankkaa...

The driver picked me up and took me to Bang Rong Pier. I booked a speedboat, because I get too impatient on the slow boat, and because the day was slow they gave me a huge discount. The normal price was 2,600 THB which included transport, speedboat, fruits, lunch, kayaking. I got the price of …

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…

The last 10 days have been a bit of a blur.  SO AWESOME though!  In Koh Phan-Ngan, My-Van and I met a group of really nice, fun Brits travelling around thailand in the same direction as us....Ben, Geoff and Katie, and the twins.  Ben and I ended up spending quite a bit of time togeth…

Hurrah!!!! Jamie is here and it was so amazing to see him after so long, I missed him so much! Ok so I may or may not have been at the airport nearly three hours early but I was going mad clockwatching at the hotel! So when he arrived Jay had been awake for about 36hours! We decided to just get a …

I hope to return soon....

A few days before all three of us were in Siam Paragon shopping center and had gone to visit Siam Ocean World, on the bottom floor of the building.  It was the beginning of a holiday weekend and line up was out of control.  The other trouble is several places in Bangkok crank up their air…

Not as relaxing as Koh Lipe but still very interesting in its own way :O) Really enjoyed the Phi Phi Islands trip & elephant trekking too!
