... in between I managed to crash Irinas laptop, so now we are not sure anymore whether we will get our photos back, some of them are backed up, but, of course, the last ones from diving werent...little sad, still hoping for the best. Last day in Khao Lak for us today, been just spending time on the beach, reading, swimming...its lovely to have this summer escape in the middle of cold and dark Latvian winter...will fly back to Bangkok tonight with Air Asia and than just have one more ...

... We loved and argued and lived as many couples do and eventually my parents travelled to Thailand and met her over a three week period and I received the parental seal of approval Im not going to get into many specifics about things here but there were times where I really thought to myself that I should just let her go and move on but I was afraid of being that guy who pushed away love because he was afraid. I did not want to think a couple of months down the ...

... and we admire the fact that they're coming to class even though they are on school break. In the afternoons, we've been teaching English to some Thai masseuses and restaurant workers. In the evenings, we teach at a center for Burmese immigrants. The Burmese who come to Thailand have no rights. They can't own property, a motorbike, or even a cell phone. They're not allowed to go to Thai schools (although that's changing a little ...

... stay a minimum of 7 nights. but i really dont want to rock up with 11,000 other punters so ill have to keep on persevering. some thoughts on thailand - well the main thing right now is boys and girls. ive got to the point where i dont believe any girl working behind a bar is a girl anymore. (in many cases its not and its just so hard to tell.) it also really puzzles me as to how come thailand has such a high concentration of ...

The bus trip was very good it took one hour less than expected and very comfortable, the ac was freezing but they provide a blanket, sandwich, soda, bathroom on board and it is quite comfortable for only 576 baht. Make sure you purchase the ticket at the bus terminal since there are several other alternatives. After booking with Khao Lak Scuba Adventures I went to the beach to relax and at 6pm we left for the ...

... down bits of bamboo and splitting them in half. Oonagh, in a state of disbelief, came and told me that they were building me a "chair" out of bamboo and were going to carry me up on it, with me supporting myself on my arms ... I hopped over to have a look and am afraid I kind of lost my rag! Wasn't it bad enough that I'd had one accident and now they were proposing that I support myself on my arms (as you'll guess, my arms aren't my ...

... am planning to rent a motorcycle to get out of the city for few days next week on the Mae Song Loop through N. Thailand and finally visit the much talked about Pai. Sorry to say I don't have a lot of pictures this week but since I had my friend Michele (professional photog that she is) around all week I simply let her take all the shots. I will try to be better next time.....no really! LOL I hope you are all well and being good to yourselves and those around you. Until next time, Nameste, Ron

... history of Sukothai, spoken like a lover's name. The lights come through the ruins, illuminating a procession in traditional dress. A boat floats on the pool rowed by a man with his lady. An entire market erupts in dancing. Dozens of paper lanterns float up from behind the ruins, glowing with the fires inside them. At the end, the actors let the khrathong (the flower floats with candles and incense) out onto the water. This is truly the way to see the Old City ...

... who's missing. If anyone is in the area, have a look at her family's website and maybe there's a chance you have seen her. They've set up a really helpful site to help with other missing people who were staying at the same place, Nangthong Bay Resort, Khao Lak, Phang Nga. I've heard from some new and old friends and am SO relieved to hear they're safe, but am still waiting to hear from others. It's strange to think that I'll never know about many of ...
