Cha-Am Royal Beach Phetchaburi

I had to catch a suppose-to-be 2hr bus to Ratchaburi to catch the train. As I was in the taxi, a monsoon of pouring rain (2 ft of water) along with dramatic lightning strikes and power outages occurred. I grabbed my umbrella and off I went into the flooded streets determined to get to my next destination!<br><br>The bus was delayed because of the storm. By the time the storm had finished, school was out and hundreds of ...

... I'd assumed I would - they're mean! The other thing I loved about Phetburi was the place I stayed, the room was interesting because, not only could you see through the walls but the floor and the ceiling as well. Some old teak boards held the place together and only my mosquito net seperarted me from the clouds of mosquitos. This was the downside, the upside is that the owner, the staff and the other ...

... Mai on the 17th. After buying two t shirts for silly pence i headed back to my hotel and got my head down for a deserved 3 hour kip. The evening was spent having a Thai dinner of pork and rice washed down with a Chang beer. I finished last night with a quick beer and a game of pool next door with Graham a welsh guy from Caerphilly but this time i took Shauns advice to get a cut throat shave and facial, do yourself a favour those who have not been pampered like this before.

Marce flottant Floating market --------------------------------------- --------------------------------------- ---------- Salut tout le monde, Nous allons bien. La journee d'hier a ete super fatiguante. Ce n'etait pas vraiment prevue au programme. Cela a commencer relax dans le petit bateau taxi. On s'est mit a marcher, sachant le chemin (information donne par les agences), mais nous avons ete mal renseigner. Alors on a marcher pas mal ...

... I showed them the 'Petchburi' page in my Lonely Planet book, which has the place name written in Thai, and they all argued amongst themselves for a while. At one point they all told me I needed to get off the bus here, which I did, then they argued some more and the English-speaking girl told me I needed to catch another bus to get to Petchburi. Which bus, and where? This bus. This bus? Yes. This bus that you just told me to get off? Yes. Eventually I made ...

... a foot massage. In the evening we took a boat ride to admire fireflies. They were sitting in the trees, blinking synchronously, so it perfectly resembled Christmas tree. On Sunday early morning (6am) we saw a monk making his alms route in "floating" style. After several more hour sleep we took a 4 wat boat trip including a "root" temple, a temple overgrown by trees. Before we headed back home Phuen saw a fortune teller. It is ...

... I just know that unless I'm back in Thailand again, I'll never see the primates (Dum Dum, Nee, Zack and the teenagers, Kot, Gilbert, Bong, Mel... any of them) and that definitely made me sad! Visiting zoos won't be the same--zoos are sometimes bad, bc they're more for making money and entertainment than education. I'd love to see other wild animal sanctuaries in the future, but they won't be the WFFT animals. So I cleaned out my whole room and said ...

I like the WFFT center, I really do, but there are several things I can't let myself think about, otherwise I'd go nuts. 1. What the mysterious, multiple, large blood-like stains on the mosquito net are from. (I never found a mosquito net to buy--I just used one that I found leftover in my room). It's strange. Too large to be insect blood stains, to oddly-placed to be human... I don't even know. 2 ...

... canals lined by buildings housing vendors: hammocks, clothes, souvenirs, gasoline, and food of all kinds was sold here. On the water people were selling hats, pancakes, whatever, directly out of their boats! We ate all sorts of goodies including these coconut pancakes served in their won little leaf boat! <br><br> <br><br>
