Back in Trat
I ditched Sandra and Wayne this morning to make my way back to Trat. The rain was lashing down and the taxi drivers (being the cheeky little bastards that they are) decided to up their rates by 1000%, knowing that people don't really like walking in the ...

Khao Yai
From the Lao border I took a van to Udon Thani and from there a bus to Pak Chong. The bus let me off on the highway instead of going into town. The driver somehow conveyed to me to go with the little Thai lady who was also getting off ...

Lazy day!!!!!
Not a lot to report, it was a tough day. In between swimming in the very large pool, lying in the jacuzzi and sitting at the swim up bar - not a lot else to think about today. We did go for a long walk, out to sea. The tides goes out for ...
Wat Walk
Hey all, just got back from my Chang Mai wat walk. I visited quite a few wats here in Chang Mai today. What I like about these wats (hehe, no pun intended), is that they are "living" wats. For example, opposed to being big touristy ...
RELAXING DAY
December 28 Another day in paradise! Len went off this morning to find a snorkel and goggle to rent and came back with a set. He is now off to go out and around our Bay and most likely just beyond the point. I read, did the blog and then tried to ...

No Man is an Island
