Tuesday, December 09, 2008 Up again at 5, but the chanting soon stopped and did not begin again. Out on the street and back to that corner to find that the vendors are here this morning. We ordered our toast and sweet milk - this must be true Thai as the locals are in line with us. We walk around and enjoy the sandwiches and buy a fresh orange j...

Hello Everyone! Right now MArcus and I are in MBK, the big shopping complex. We just had something to eat and Im feeling sick already haha story of my life!! Marcus ordered a dodgy ice tea but I stuck to the water! Bangkok is crazy! I have white knuckles from holding onto anything I can in the taxi and my first tuk tuk ride blew me away! There a...

Hey Folks, At last the torrential monsoon rains have eased, the palm tree bending cyclone winds have vanished and the sea has returned to it's original turquoise-thank God. The Islands and beaches of Thailand are exactly the picture postcard. Acres of almost dust like, fine white sand bays/beaches, clear turquoise seas, blue skies that suspend f...

I have made it to Bangkok. I landed in Singapore on May 8th (what feels like an eternity ago) and have traveled through Malaysia and Thailand to get here. I arrived early this morning and have spent the better part of today catching up on emails, blog posts and uploading photos. (for those on Facebook almost everything is up now, for those on Fl...

Welcome to our last update for this trip. We are running on fumes after 3 nights in Chiang Mai, which was in party-mode for the Loy Krathong full-moon, end of the rainy season, once-a-year-festival. After a decent day-long snorkling trip, and a fantastic boat trip through Phang Nga Bay our last two full days at the beach, we left our beach-front...

We got the catamaran back to the mainland and then a bus to Bangkok, a fairly painless journey, no robberies! The next day it's one of these days when things have to be done. Plans and arrangements have to be made and visas obtained. We are heading for Vietnam and Laos and unsure of the route. We can get to Laos no problem then onto Vietnam, but...

Got in *early* - followed the Israelis from the bus to the Israeli places near Kao San - "hakesher" and "lemetayel". Priya found Roie at the guesthouse next door and dragged him out with us to see the reclining Buddha at Wat Pho. Then had a short/relatively pricey but quite effective Thai massage at the massage school there. Transferred our stuf...

Hey all- So Chase and I headed to Bangkok after saying goodbye to Maria and Gemma. We met up with my parents at the airport. It was quite the emotional overload for me to have so many people I love in one place. From here, the pace and style of my travel changed dramatically for the next week and a half. Chase and I joined my parents in their ai...

Ok this posting comes about two weeks late...but better late then never. Our last day in Bangkok before heading northward we had to change hotels. The truth is we did not really have to change but we couldn't keep the same room and were going to have to pack our bags anyway so we decided to move all together and see another part of the city. We ...
