Coup de Etat
This is a top pick! ... the bar screaming, "The Communists are Coming, The Communists are Coming!" I though to myself, oh sh-t the Chinese are taking over Thailand. But, as most of you know, such was not the case. The coup occurred on Tuesday evening here in Thailand. I was ...
First Island South
This is a top pick! We jumped on a bus for the about 3 ˝ hour ride to the pier and then a "fast ferry" for 2 hours (they have a slow ferry, cost less and takes 4 hrs) to the small island of Ko Tao. The island was named by its first settlers for the island's turtle-like ...
A day on the water in a Sun Island Longtail
This is a top pick! Today we have a special day, we celebrate our half a year wedding anniversary while still on our honeymoon. We are about 225 days on our way since we left Bermuda in June 2010, and we are struggling with finding an end to our travels. There are so many ...
Temple of the Emerald Buddha
This is a top pick! This morning grabbed a taxi for a drive down to the "Ko Ratanakosin" area which is the Vatican City of Thai Buddhism. Based on this, you must dress modestly-long pants and closed toe shoes only. We purchase 2 tickets for the Grand Palace and Wat Phra ...
Learning to Dive
This is a top pick! Rachel tells me about a magical island paradise where it costs only GBP150 to do a 4-day diving course. She hasn't fully convinced me that the diving course is a great idea because I much prefer land to sea, and I have the ability of toad swimming in the ...
Biking around the Island
This is a top pick! ... , so we figured why not. It is a small 125CC moped, but big enough for us both. It rides remarkably well. Driving a bike in Thailand is statistically one of the most dangerous places to do so. But Ko Lanta is quite calm, there are not many cars so here it ...
Still here (and still working)
This is a top pick! Hello, hope you are all good. Sorry about the lack of communication I am slack and lame and there is no excuse (am working really hard thought!) I am still at the Wildlife Rescue Centre and absolutely loving it! It is hard work and long hours in the ...
National Treasure
This is a top pick! We made it to our final stop north Chiang Mai, for the people of Thailand the city is considered a national treasure. For us, it was a reminder of our trip here 7 or so years ago (our first to Thailand) and what great fun we had. The old city is ...
Raining D' and B'
This is a top pick! so, next a short boat ride to koh phangan, the full moon party island, where all the action is found down at the bottom right tip of the island. We took my brothers advise and settled on the quieter side of the island in the opposite corner, hat yao, or ...
Not Much Between Despair and Ecstacy...
This is a top pick! ... basics are that Jim Thompson was a terribly chic American who used to work for the OSS (CIA) and fell in love with Thailand and revitalized the Thai silk industry and introduced it to the West. His compound of antique traditional Thai homes that he bought ...
Without a plan in the Land of Smiles
This is a top pick! ... 's all I really wanted to know about it. We were at input overload and with the amount of information taken in in Vietnam, Thailand's history just doesn't seem as impressive. From the temple we pop across back to the Grand Palace side and walk past as we ...
High Society
This is a top pick! Time moves slowly in the mountains, perhaps it has something to do with the fact that the majority of the day is spent ensuring your survival. Cultivating the rice paddies, colleting fire wood so you can cook, gathering roots from the fields and ...
Island Hopping
This is a top pick! ... food during the day, we get to a bakery and tuck into the first food of the day. On first impressions we notice that Thailand really does have plenty of smiley people, the food is really cheap and the cakes are pretty delicious. We decide to try and ...
Lazing the Day Away
This is a top pick! Today started like most do here in Bangkok only today I decided when I finished reading the Bangkok Post to crack open the other English language newspaper, The Nation. When I was done with that it was time for a few bits from Newsweek and The Economist ...
Day 67: Alone No More, Reunited w/Jeff
This is a top pick! After sleeping in and squandering much of the morning dawdling around in the hostel (which is quite nice and new), I disembarked for some random exploration. It was already 11am and I had to leave for the airport by 2:30 (takes an hour to get there and ...
Erewan and the bridge over the River Kwai
This is a top pick! We wake up but Helena is feeling ill and Yiknur won't leave a man down, so... I decide that I can't be held down and make a quick and easy decision to go out for the day and leave them both behind! (Tough call, riiight) I rent a moped, which ...
Arrived in Thailand
This is a top pick! ... a much larger window (with curtains), slightly more room and it was easier to keep your bags close at hand. Arriving in Thailand the next morning was quite straight forward, everyone had to get off the train for immigration and then wait twenty minutes ...
Tuk-tuks in the rain
This is a top pick! ... checked in my suitcase at the United Travellers Connection seeing as I was not going to need that much as I travelled into northern Thailand. Kate and Jonty however were at the tail ends of their travels, and were carrying plenty so a taxi was called ...
Ko Phi Phi
This is a top pick! The short 55 minute flight from Samui to Phuket doesn´t change the scenery too much, but I still can see the evidence of the tourist destruction that I´ve heard so much about from other travelers. An hour later and Adi gets in without her bag, ...
Destination Bangkok
This is a top pick! We had the choice of paying $160 for a plane ticket from Siem Reap to Bangkok, or $10 to take the bus, so we took the scenic route. We took a mini-bus from our hotel to catch the larger bus to the border where we had to unload to go though customs on ...
Back in Bangkok
This is a top pick! Check in hassles (scissors and mosquito swatter checked in separately) Taxi hassle (gang together and refuse to turn meter on) - better to arrive earlier in day (taxi should be 250 on meter) Dropped off and checked in 120B room --- Shawn leaving in a ...
The Great Bangkok Tuk-Tuk Scam
This is a top pick! So, we had our first real scam pulled on us yesterday, but came out pretty much unscathed, except for the blisters on our feet. We're been traveling with two Canadian girls we met on Koh Tao island (who are a total riot I might add). So we wake up on ...
R U Serious! 3rd class tickets only!?
This is a top pick! ... the oldest bicycles in the world before racing around the park at lightning speed. All the postcard pictures that you see of Thailand were all taken in this place. Some of the sights were instantly recognisable. Sarah took great pleasure in showing me ...
Our room came with pets
This is a top pick! Its hard to keep a travel blog up to date. Every day so many things happen that you wish you could share with someone. Like yesterday So I've decided to just type up a few sections right from the pages of my journal to kind of get caught up. I've ...
Culture Shock in Bangkok
This is a top pick! ... : Day : 65 Temperature : 33 degress Weather : Sunny in the mornings, rainy late afternoons We have arrived in "Amazing Thailand"!! We didn't think we'd make it here quite so easily when our Indian Airlines flight from Kathmandu to Delhi was ...
Royal Elephant Kraal
This is a top pick! We just happened to be in town when a very important ceremony was to take place, the blessing of the new posts for the Royal Elephant Kraal. In order to give some perspective you need to understand some history first--- (over 200 years ago) only Kings ...
Everything must come to an end... to Ko Pha Ngan!
This is a top pick! Reaching the pier just in time to hear that the 45-minute ferry had an hour delay was awesome. I don't want to leave Ko Tao and momentarily contemplate disregarding my plans and just chilling there for a few weeks, months, years. Ko Pha ...
Bridge over the River Kwai
This is a top pick! ... as we just sat back and relaxed in the sun! All in all we had a really amazing day..... Next stop was Ayutthaya, Thailand's original capital city, we planned to hang around there for a few of days, however after arriving we soon realised the ...
Back to Bangkok
This is a top pick! The train back is painless and I sleep almost the entire way with brief discussions with the monk across the aisle. I check into my hostel on Khoa San (backpacker's road) and walk around the center of the city to see Wat Pho, the Grand Palace, ...
