... beds sounded like a good idea anyway, so we did. After dark our host suggested that as it was Saturday we might enjoy a trip into Hua Hin night market. For 150 baht a taxi or tuk tuk would take us there. We walked to the end of our soi where sure enough ...

Where is civilised?
Mar 1, 2004

Returning from Rangoon to Bangkok was another culture shock, the modernity of Bangkok contrasting with Rangoon's backwardness. I saw more white faces in a 10 minute walk down the street in Bangkok than I had in almost 7 weeks in Burma. I also saw Coca ...

Royal Beach

... in this potent concoction made me feel this way. Why, oh why, is Thai Red Bull such a crazy, cracked out cocktail? Now we've taken a ride into Hua Hin to see the other Hyatt property in Thailand. So far this has been far from a backpacking budget trip!

Another Day

Sometimes we lose power, by we I mean Webster University. Without notice, the lights will go out, but the computers stay on thanks to generators. The air-conditioning goes too. The longest I've waited for the return of power is maybe three minutes. One ...

Beachtime, German style
Mar 11, 2007
