My House Hotel Hat Yai

... islands are fitted with all the modern luxuries occidental travelers are accustomed to. The ease of travel is therefore both a blessing and a curse. The easy travel keeps stress levels low but the widespread western comforts have in many cases replaced the original Thai culture...<br><br>Our Best of Thailand<br>Beaches - My goodness they are sexy!<br>Food - Good, usually cheap, and lots<br>to choose from.<br>Bangkok - We imagined a big ...

... night, as due to the heat, the standard design of the rooms is for the top of the walls not to reach the ceiling. The couple next door played music all night, and didn't understand my shouts to turn it off. I left Hat Yai the next morning thinking that nuclear warfare on the city wouldn't be such a bad thing, as I had a bad ride there, a bad night, and it was one of the ugliest places I've ever seen. I didn't see a single redeeming feature for the place.

... kasassa tassa, joten en hyppaa nyt siihen missa ollaan. Pahoittelen taas mahdollisia nappailyvirheita. Ta on jalleen mallia lyo niin kovaa kun kehtaat. Toni aikoo liittya seuraamme suraavan parin paivan kuluessa (ennen joulua). Tiedoksi teille, jotka seuraatte hanen etenemistaan mun blogista. Aika hunosti se jaksaa paivittaa? Viimeksi kun siita kuulin, oli ryyppaamassa joidenkin lappalaisten kanssa Ko Samuilla, eli hyvin menee.

... called Sentral KL. This building is massive. All forms of transportation leave from there. Local buses, national buses, trains, metro ,taxis, (and maybe flights). It first looked chaotic, but it was just really easy to use and plan your next trip. We contemplated saying in KL for 2 days or so, but in the end decided to try and jump on the train leaving for Thailand that night. Lucky for us there were seats available for the 14 hour train trip to Hat Yai in Thailand. I say seats, it ...

... dead in the slow lane (yes this was all on a fast-moving dual carriageway) in front of the pickup and got out to have a word! At HatYai I was dropped off at a grotty tourist office and here I decided it was to be my last tourist bus journey as they're pretty **** and absolutely no fun (although I was the only tourist on the bus today) - I don't care so much in Thailand, but in ...

... fun as the music and light were very reminiscent of our experiences at Burning Man! To top off our last free weekend in Thailand we took a trip the next day to the Phuket Zoo. While similar in many ways to most zoos we've ever been to, the Phuket Zoo had an energy of its own. Once inside we made our first stop the monkey show. Walking into the arena we saw a very human-acting orangutan posing for pictures with visitors of all ages. At ...

... street fair of sorts still going on downtown, so I bought some noodles from a street vendor. Now I know Thai food is hot, and I'm kind of a wus with spicy food, but the noodles looked harmless enough. I was wrong- it was so spicy I got the hiccups! Still good, and even though this was probably average or even mild by Thai standards, it was pretty spicy to this western mouth. There were some interesting food ...

Mr. Qu, standing wild-haired, sunburnt and jelly-bellied in the Thai sun, looks like an endearing folk-tale character gone bad -- Bilbo Baggins with syphilis and a reefer habit, maybe. Or perhaps Santa Claus, if ol' St. Nick had chosen to swap his factory and elves for a couple cases of whiskey and some hookers. He is surely one of the craziest characters I have met this side of the Ganges. So, I've made it back to mainlaind Thailand (Krabi to be exact) and down past ...

... me to This travel place, So im like " Whoa I'm getting off here?" He nodds his head, so i run back to the van and grab my bags, They write me up a reciept Saying im going to Kuala lumpor and that it leaves at 6 pm and to be back at 5:30, Then im givin a map and rushed out of the building, As i was enthusiasticly given directions to a mall (Which happens to be the most massive mall i've seen ...
