... what is on the other side....I crack it a bit...take a peek ....all is clear...the fly plague from hell has moved on...all they left were their dead brethren...and a lot of them...all over the place. So we make some coffee and put on our wet mahout outfits again...yay.... Bob and John meet us and it took every thing in me to get on the back of that scooter...it really is a sad thing to see an old **** like me cry like a baby.....Bob...well he laughed his ass off ...

K so me an Bob wander away from the path and sure as you can't fit an elephant thru the eye of a needle there was my eley....hiding ...

... not sure where they allcame from)...a mahout...and a piece of paper with all the mahout commands in thai...like "come over here big guy!" goes something like this "Coon poo die mie ka ka doo dee paafooeee" or something like that... or "I see you hiding behind that tree get over here!" uhmmm sorta like this "Ka pa goon pa pa maka maka poop baaaaaaaaaaahupsshe doo" you have to be careful on the second "pa" as if you use the wrong tone you are calling him a ...

... were staying where we were entertained by a group of young boys jumping from the bridge into the river...having to dodge wires, cables and other obstacles in the process! From Sukhothai we headed to Ayutthaya - a 6 hour bus journey. We spent half a day in Ayutthaya and rented bikes again (why oh why?!) and headed out to see the city. Ayutthaya is known for their large number of wild dogs and they were certainly apparent & territorial! A couple of times we had ...

... often end early in the day and don't always run to the smaller towns. Our hope was to find a bus that would take us north to a town that would have a bus running to Lampang, our next destination. We got on, not really sure where we were going, but were told to get off at Uttaradit and get a bus to Lampang from there. When we got to the station and tried to buy a ticket, we were told that all the ...

... prikolico z dodatnim kolesom in ima prostor za voznjo tudi do 7 oseb ali pa celo do 9 solarjev. Domacini je zelo veliko uporabljajo za vracanje domov po nakupih, ko se lahko pelje celotna druzina skupaj z vsemi stvarmi, ki so jih nakupili. 3. Samlaw je trikolesnik sestavljen iz kolesa, ki ima dva zadnja kolesa in ob vozniku, ki kolo poganja, se dva sedeza za potnike.

... Bar & Restaurant. We weren't let down and the place had a great atmosphere with live music (Thais singing English classics, quite surreal) and a great view of the river in the moonlight. The next day we got up early and set off for a nearby village called Ko Kha to visit a Lanna temple called Wat Phra Lamphun Luang. The wat was quite beautiful and ...

Travis found this place on someone else's travellogue and thought it would be cool. We walked across the highway from where the bus dropped us off at sometime after 8:30 (so we were, naturally, running late) and entered the Thai Elephant Conservation Center. The actual base was more than 2 km from the highway, though, and we were afraid we'd have to hump our gear all the way in, but one of the center's trucks arrived and we climbed on. At first we were ...

We had successfully taken a public bus crammed with people. We had arrived at the Elephant Conservation Center off the highway between Chiang Mai and Lampang. We had successfully checked in (they hadn't said "Who are you?"). Now, we were going to go meet our elephants. That is, as soon as I figured out how to put on my pants. They were hopelessly wide, had drawstrings in the front (or was that back?), and seemed to require some kind of ...

... we travelled by songthaews to the elephant conservation centre. This is a great experience and a must see for anyone travelling through the region. Highlights include watching elephants bath in the river, the elephant parade and taking an elephant ride through the jungle. Though the highlight is watching the elephant show which features displays of how elephants have assisted in the timber industry though this region by moving and ...
