J Guest House Chiang Mai

Om 09.00 sharp stond onze Leo klaar met zijn TucTuc. Via andere gasten hadden we een nummer doorgekregen van een grappige Thai die in zijn TucTuc je in Chiang-Mai rondtoerde.

We moesten er niet te veel van verwachten, maar het was een grappig mannetje. Dat sprak ons wel aan en aangezien de tempels hier een stuk verder uit elkaar liggen ...

Hello...! It's Sarah writing this time from Chiang Mai in Northern Thailand.

So last time we updated we were in Agra, after having a cold, foggy day seeing the Taj Mahal. The next day we went to the station to get the train to Orchha, a small town famous for its abandoned palaces and temples. The station had this ridiculous cafe called ...

Det har naa gaatt noen dager med trening og jeg har allerede gaatt ned 2 kg. Sliter som forventet fortsatt med kondisen, men vil forhaapentligvis bedre seg etter noen uker. Dagene har gaatt med til trening, spising og soving. Mellom slagene har vi faatt tid til litt pokerspilling paa kveldene med pilskorker, thaimassasje og henge rundt. Her om d...

Hello everyone! It has been a busy week and I know my blog is coming out a little later in the week than normal. I have been playing catch up since coming back form vacation and I have been fighting off a cold too! Last week I had my first big trip: Thailand! It was a great vacation but I am glad to be back home in Taiwan! I will try not to get ...

Thai sleeper trains are different to sleeper trains in other countries. We had read that traveling on a Thai sleeper train was a wonderful experience... Well it certainly couldn't be worse than some of the trains we'd been on so far!

We got to the train station nice and early (as usual) so had time for a coffee and a few games of cards....

Chiang Mai is a really relaxing place, it's an old city, buddist, and hot during the day; which, when all added up means that everyone is all about relaxing. I've been here about 6 days or so... The lady travelers come for the spas, Thai massage, and treking, and the guys traveling through like the mountain biking, motorbikes, and cheap livin is...

okay i just spent 30 mins writing a fascinating review of our time in bangkok and chiang mai before the computer timed out with no warning so I am seriously not a happy camper right now!

Despite the craic we had in Bangkok glued to a surreal environment I am pleased to have left. Definitely a must see for anyone just to experience the c...

Paul and Marie picked me up by tuk tuk this morning....first stop Meansa Elephant Camp. We arrived just in time for their morning bath. Great day riding the elephant through the jungle. As everyone knows this is why I came to Thailand, to ride an elephant. It was just a rewarding day to fulfill one more item on my bucket list. This elephant camp...

Spend a few more great days in Luang Prabang before heading towards Thailand. We rented bikes one day and just cruised around the town. There were so many quiet tree lined streets with beautiful old houses. We sat along the river edge watching the daily life on the Mekong... kids splashing away and the old men sitting in the shade chatting the d...

Today started as usual, b-fast and cleaning the elephant night enclosures...but it is made easier by the fact that the enclosure is right next to Fah Mai's pen, the 3 week old baby. (now a month old...), where she is staying with her mom, Mai Bua Tong, and sometimes her auntie until it is safe for her to be out with the other families. She runs ...
