The beautiful beaches of the Andaman Coast
... other difficulty is eating them. No chopsticks here just a fork and a spoon. Of course us Westerners (farang as we are known in Thailand) want to put the fork in our mouths but it is just for pushing stuff onto the spoon and eating off the fork is like ...
Penis Cave, Frisbee, Muddy caves and More!
... before. Of all the hotels in all the streets....our mission was to check out the Princess Caves and a lagoon down on Raleigh. Krabi is really pretty with jungle covered limestone rocks, jutting out of the land. It's a rock climber's paradise! We found ...
Fragmentitilation
Umm... What happens when five individuals go on a trip? Answer; you get multiple trips. Lumpy has been off in Ton Sai now for 3 or 4 days - at least that's where she was last time we heard from her. Today Sam took off for Koh Phi Phi and Phuket and ...
Another Rainy Day
Just another rainy day. Pooh! Damnit! I've only seen the sun a couple of times since we left Chiang Mai. So biking has been off the agenda, but otherwise, you just roll out the door with your umbrella and carry on. Rain... well that won't matter ...
It Was All Going So Well...
I'm walking down the main drag of Ao Nang on my way to dinner when I feel a tug on my pack. I spin around with my right hand out in a fist to confront one of the hundred or so touts that hang out on the sidewalk saying "hello mister, where are you from" ...
Time for a Little Vacation in Paradise
... easy. We booked plane tickets and a bungalow at a nice resort, and headed to Railay Beach which is in South Thailand right near the major resort city of Krabi. Railay is a small peninsula shaped like a V with a beach on each side. The east side has a bit ...
AFTONBLADET???
... I feel like they didn't see anything, but then I guess I've been hanging around Asia for way too long and, damn if Thailand doesn't have any xenophobic dictators, land mines or agent orange stunted forests to gawk at. I guess it's losing its bazaar ...
The Last Beach Day
Whaaaaa! Boo-hiss. Today was the last day of this trip. Considering its snowing at home, I elect to again wander around the beach mostly naked and stare at the views and say goodbye. A last float in the ocean before needing to go through a gear ...
Bangkok - Krabi
... place to stay - a brand new bungalow on stilts with verandah in the hills - but the beach is disappointing to say the least. Krabi consists of the town itself and a few beaches to which you have to take a boat. Each of these beaches houses accomodation ...

Krabi?!?!

Man Down!
... a pre-trip cut tendon. And I thought I was the token unhealthy wimp of the trip. Ha, have another smoke. Speaking of which, Thailand has this new anti-smoking campaign with a series of photos that take up a full half of each pack of cigs. Each ...
Time for some 'much needed' R & R in PARADISE
For the last few days of my October break, I headed to Railay Beach outside the Southern Thai city of Krabi. If you recall from the blog, this is the same place that I went last year for October break. What can I say? When you have been to paradise, ...

We woke up and went for our included breakfast. It was alright, but we were there a bit later so there wasn't that much food left. We will have to get up earlier to beat the rush I guess. We asked about laundry at our hotel, and they ...

... ; The memorial for my Grandmother had taken place on Saturday afternoon, or early Sunday morning for us. It is nice that Thailand has affordable and accessible ways to communicate with home. So it was a bitter sweet start to the day. The ...

We woke up and Zoe was still feeling pretty sick. We decided to stay another night in Railay so she can rest up some more. The weather turned out to be very good in the morning. After breakfast we laid by the pool for a few hours. ...

Today we decided to say good-bye to Krabi town. Last night had one crazy wind storm, banging our bathroom door around, as well as other things outside. We crawled out of bed, packed and checked out of Chan Cha Lay Guesthouse at around ...
Crabsticks in Krabi!
... told on numerous occasions that it was so devastated that you couldn't get there anymore. We were therefore surprised on arriving in Krabi to see posters everywhere asking tourists to come to Phi Phi either to volonteer with the clean up or just to spend ...
June 16 2008
Today we are moving over to Railay. It's an area that has two beaches Railay East and Railay West. East is muddy and not that great of a beach. The west is supposed to be really good. We had breakfast and checked out of the Ao ...

So the past few days have been really tough. We decided to go to the hospital to get Zoe checked out. Turns out she has Dengue Fever, and she was admitted to the hospital. We spent 2 rough nights there, barely sleeping. Finally ...

Thailand: Finishing off Asia with some relaxation.
Layover in icy Kiev, Ukraine, going to Prague: I can see why people fall in love with Thailand. Everything is very inexpensive, the weather is perfect, and the beaches beautiful. Probably cheaper for me to be here for this week than to go back to the ...

Back to the beach
The most beautiful beach that I have ever been to! WOW! This is a place that I would definitely go back to when the weather is better. It's a bit built up but it's still a fabulous. The monsoons hit pretty bad at this time of the ...
Back to the Real World
