Zo na een paar dagen goed chillen in Kanchanaburi ben ik vandaag weer aangekomen in Bangkok. Kostte me 6 uur (en zo'n 600 bht aan taxiritten) om m'n paspoort en het bijbehorende visum te regelen maar alles is nu helemaal voor mekaar!Maargoed eerst nog wat over Kanchanaburi..Eerste dag gingen Jonny …

Happy Christmas Eve! I am alive!!!! I am sad to say that I have no pictures of our white water rafting adventure. I wasn’t brave enough to take my camera with us. I am glad I didn’t because we ended up tipping three times. (More details to come)   White water rafting was AWESOME. I am so…

After history laden Viet Nam, after experiencing some of the saddest recent history in Cambodia, after seeing the cultural and historical marvels of Angkor Wat, after having visited the Buddhist temples of Thailand and after having been to the UNESCO town of Luang Prabang, I'm done with culture an…

I arrived in Thailand with no expectations.  And, within 20 minutes I had  my OWN seat on a brand new, plush, air-conditioned bus WITH a separate area for my baggage!!  After so many Indian rides in over-crowded metal-box engines, I never knew how much I'd appreciate a bus ride. …

Kerry - on return from our trip to Kanchanaburi, we decide to head out for some drinks and entertainment in Patpong with some of the people we met on the tour. So Andrei and I along with Yannis (UK) and Jose (Dutch Colombian) and Ornella (Dutch Eithipian) head off in a metered taxi to the red light…

LAst Day in Bangkok before Angkor WatToday was cultural day in Bangkok. Went with Ach to the presidential palace. Yea, apparently you need to wear long pants to see the emerald Buddha. So they basically lend you a pair of pants. That explains my pants if those pix make it up on the blog.Later that …

Yet another night in Asia. Yet another outing where the fine line between business and pleasure blurs. I know where this is going - I have seen it too many times before. Before long, the scenery changes from bright lights to neon.  And civilisation gives way to sleaze. This is n…

Last night, I had no idea when i slept. After my head touched the pillow .. zzz ... zzzzz Remember Jaoh (Aioh) still watched movie! Power girl! This morning woke up at 8.30am to have breakfast. Usually I don't have breakfast, if i do, i can't eat anything else all day long. But they woke up, so I w…

From Bangkok to Koh Samui

Day-3 in Bangkok for me - waking up with sore-head! We woke up late and went around meeting Nikie around afternoon. We stopped and ate brunch in one of the restaurant in Khao sarn. I insisted to order something local, that's why I end up with anotehr pad-thai whereas the girsl are enjoying their s…

This is my last entry actually from Thailand. I will probably upload some additional pics and do a final summary upon my return for anyone seeking "closure." lol We went to Khao Yai Monday and Tuesday. It was awesome! First, we took a small side-trip to see the dam. While this was definitely not m…

After we left Jomtien we had to return Benny's daughter to where she lives full time.  It is sad enough for me that Voon and Benny live apart but then to see how she has to live makes it sadder.  I am lucky I live in a rich country in a beautiful city and have a good job and make decent m…

... you've visited Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep. Or so the saying goes. Well it only took me about 2 years and 4 months to get there, but I finally made it. At least I can say that I've been to Chiang Mai before I leave. Wat Phrathat sits on Doi Suthep (doi means mountain in Thai), overlooking the city.…

I have an afternoon flight leaving Bangkok at 4:55 PM so I still have some time to explore a diferent part of Bangkok.  Last night the street traffic was pretty heavy out on Nana Nua below my hotel room.  I was on the 7th floor (the top floor) of my hotel (The Grand Inn) and y…
