Krabi: adventures in purgatory
... . It provided the best beauty around and gave the promise of exotic lands beyond. Ao Nang is not the ultimate destination for a South Thailand beach-bound tourist. Ao Nang to me is a place where you catch up on your blog or shop or research your next ...
Take Your Mama Out...Show Her What It's All About
... - I have not been cold once (but limits the snuggling this mommy loves). In one week, I have truly had a taste of Thailand (literally and figuratively) and as always never enough daughter time. The beach we stayed at on Phuket Island did not experience ...

Hatodik nap - Karon, Kata
15:53 Éjjel kettő után tudtam csak elaludni, zenével a fülemben, mert három kinti klíma rázta a palávert és valami iszonyat hangos volt. Néha leállt fél percre, akkor meg a szomszéd horkolása borzolta az idegeimet. Végül 10-ig ...

Phuket, Thailand
Thailand-finally! We land in Bangkok and immediately bolt to the Thai Airway Desk where they were super accommodating. After looking over our documentation and hearing our sob story, they were able to issue us new boarding passes for an even ...
Karon Beach, Phi Phi Island and Ao Nang Beach!
... the shores of home and we decided to reward ourselves with a night on the town! Now for those of you not familiar with Thailand, Phuket and surrounding area is pretty much sex capital of the country. It was low season so very few tourists were about and ...

Ljubezen po Tajsko
Kot mnogi veste je Tajska najpriljubljenejsa destinacija na svetu za turiste, ki iscejo ali ljubezen ali zgolj mesene uzitke. Kot nama je pogovoru navrgel starejsi kanadski ucitelj, ki ze 14 let poucuje po razlicnih koncih Azije, so Tajci najprijaznejsi ...
Heated Discussions
We decided to stay at the hotel to meet today. That way we didn't waste time getting around - Peter had to take Rex to the clinic to have the wound cleaned and re-bandaged - Rajeev was up and down because of his cold, so the lobby was fine. A tad hot ...
Phuket arrival

Back on Track
... with vines and mangrove trees everywhere. Really nice scenery, but sort of hard to explain. And being close to Phuket, the tour was absolutely jam packed so that there were even kayak traffic jams trying to navigate through the narrow ...
Crazy Crazy Phuket!
Arrived in phuket and was ready to go. We hopped off the boat and grabbed a taxi, we were headed to kata beach. We were quoted 150bht (3 euro) each for a taxi, and us being in the travelling frame of mind decided that this was too much to pay. So we went ...

Nemo is found!
... in Surit Thani the bus we were due to get had broken down, so we had to wait 4 hours for them to drive another one to us from Phuket. So at 7pm we eventually left, but that wasn't the end of the fun. Instead of dropping us off in Patong like we were told, ...
