Waxing Gibbous (not quite Full Moon) Party Beach
This is a top pick! As I continue to island hop up the east coast of Thailand I found myself at Had Rin beach on Koh Pha-Ngan today. The transfer up from Koh Samui was painless enough; 10 minute/50B ride to Big Buddha Pier followed by a 1 hour/100B boat journey to Had Rin ...

A little bit of luxury goes a long way.
This is a top pick! After signing off on Monday morning I paced up and down the arrivals hall in Bangkok international airport for what seemed three days before the doors finally opened and my mother emerged. The hug I got from her was much better than the one the guru gave ...
Journey to beautiful La....okay, back to Bangkok!
This is a top pick! ... hit up tourists: I had a cheeky little monster on a full-suspension bike ask if he could have my watch. We passed back into Thailand across the Mekong River, and into the town of Nong Khai. It was only a few hour stop, waiting for our night train ...
Half Moon Festival

Storms, Scooters and Scams
This is a top pick! ... a sticker on us of a smiley face,which they'd given us in exchange for taking our ticket. This may seem weird but is common in Thailand and we've never had a problem with it before, there's always been someone there in the bus area when we've needed to ...

Delay in paradise...
This is a top pick! So remember when I wrote about "Thai time" well we were told today to show up at 2 pm at the Barracuda Bar on the beach to check-in for our 4pm ferry back to Langkawi. Why do you need two hours for check-in? Its only a 5 minute wait at the fold out card ...
Bangkok
This is a top pick! ... steel bridge has been repaired and is still functioning today. Then it was off to visit Hellfire Pass, a section of the Thailand - Burmese railway that was built by allied prisoners and conscripted workers. As many as 15,000 prisoners died because of the ...
Chiang Mai (Rob)

I could get used to this...
This is a top pick! ... well maybe I could live here for a few years! I wake up to sunrise coming up over the distant horizon and realize that it would be easy for my family to come visit. I look to the right and see no one. We´re the only ones who ...
Peace, Love and Serenity.....
This is a top pick! To say that I have found Paradise would be hard to really understand unless you have seen what Maureen and I see every morning when we wake up on this Island. Our Trip out here from Langkawi was easy, just an 1 hour 45min speed ferry trip ,and a transfer ...
Sunsets in Lanta
This is a top pick! ... It was March 15th when we arrived, which also marked the night of the black moon for March, so of course being in Thailand, there was a beach party. C and I enjoyed sitting around overlooking the beach, drinking out of the famous buckets. Just a tub full ...
Northern Thailand
This is a top pick! ... . It was a long hike. About 11 miles round trip and 5 hours total. Normally, not too bad, but Thailand just finished 2 months of rainy season. It was exhausting (muddy trail, bleeding from cuts, overheated) but worth it. ...
Ancient Ayutthaya and bizarre Bangkok
This is a top pick! Ayutthaya is just north of Bangkok and is a World Heritage listed ancient city, once the capital of Thailand. We bravely (or stupidly?!) decided to take on Asian traffic by hiring bikes to cycle to heaps of the wats (temples) and ancient ruins. At first ...
Railay
This is a top pick! It is officially impossible to travel with ease in Thailand. The highlight of the trip to Railay was a 30 minute longboat ride in a gail-force winds and teaming rain. When we arrived at the harbour at Krabi I said to Charlotte that there's no way we will ...
Maxin and relaxin...
This is a top pick! I did absolutely nothing today and it was everything I thought it could be and more. To this point in my adventures, I really haven't taken any time to just relax and be on vacation. Today, I embraced the island mentality and sat in my ...

I'm clean!
This is a top pick! Dear Everybody, hope you are all happy and healthy. So I am now a free agent, no more getting up at 6 being smelly and sweaty all day and being covered in bites, scratches and mud! Is really great to be on Samui and see Danny again, be clean, eat ...
Bangkok and Kanchanaburi
This is a top pick! We caught an overnight train and arrived in Bangkok very early in the morning, so the people out and about were either setting up shop for the day or were on their way home from a big night out. We stayed at Orchard House in the street behind Khao San ...
Time to hit the road again
This is a top pick! This last week has gone so fast I cannot believe we are finally escaping the clutches of Koh Tao!!!! We are packed (we'll almost)and make the long trek back to Bangkok tomorrow for the final time. We will spend two nights back on Koh San Road then fly ...
