... be seen floating away in the sky all night. We even lit krathongs and sent them out into the water. Apparently the point of the festival is to ask forgiveness for polluting. Ironic, no? On the ruins there was also several different performances occurring throughout the night along with several different light shows and firework shows. I just really loved the lanterns, it's so cool that once they fill up with hot air from a disc you light on fire, it just ...

... de barba que gastan los locales por aqui... he de reconocer que yo en vez de un curtido y varonil macho iberico, lo que parecia era un cerdete.<br><br>Mierda de comparaciones. :(<br><br>Lo que ya termino de convencerme es que con tanto calor y humedad, la barba del cuello me picaba horrores y ademas con las prisas al salir de Madrid no me habia aplicado el corte de monje tibetano con el que acostumbro a iniciar los viajes.<br><br>Tras buscar una ...

... to the train station. We did manage to buy our tickets at 4:30 for the 5pm train, but it when it rolled in we saw that it was totally packed and there was no way we were going to get a seat. Sure enough, we barely even managed to find places to stand let alone anywhere to sit. The trip took 4 hours and we had to stand the whole way in a car filled beyond capacity with tired, sweaty people. You can't imagine our relief when we saw our ...

... spent some time with a fellow English traveller. The train again arrived a bit late, but it was the distance to Phitsanulok that we misjudged. After a four and a half hour ride we finally arrived at about nine. Luckily we had jotted down directions to a hostel near the train station and found it without too much difficulty. The room in the London Hotel was basic, but it was a bargain at 150 baht. We woke up and started to get ready to head to Sukhothai. An ...

... eau, mais plutot un contenant d'eau avec un bol pour se ''nettoyer'') mais en plus, quand on balance de tout bord tout cote. Experience tres enrichissante ! Etant les seules occidentales dans le train, Anouk et moi croyions deja se faire regarder pas mal... Jusqu'a ce que nous arrivions a destination. Nous n'avons vu qu'une poignee de voyageurs, et disons que nous attirons beaucoup d'attention. Le monde se retourne sur notre passage en se chuchotant et nous pointant du ...

... tells me that that promise is usually fulfilled but rarely. And there have been a lot of pictures taken! I don't know if its because I'm a whitey, or if its Thai custom to take pictures with people they don't know, but at the end of every course I get pulled into pictures by people who I've never spoken a word to more than "hello." I actually think that it is the latter case, because the minute a camera is pulled out ...

... spoke excellent English, but also knew an amazing amount about European football and geography, and introduced me to Singaporean and Thai politics. On my return Regine was able to walk and eat again and after her first meal we treated ourselves to a foot massage at a lovely new massage barge moored on the river. Next stop: the abundant wildlife and primeval jungles of Khao Yai National Park!

... speaking to me and giggling. I have no idea what was said, but they had a great time and the smiles and laughter were infectious. Back at the bus station, we met Nippon again (our taxi driver frmo 3 days earlier), and he rememebered us, asked us about the trip and wished us luck. The bus to Bangkok was a discount bus, not quite as comforatble as the one getting ...

In de bus op weg naar het oude gedeelte van Sukothai ontmoetten we een nederlands echtpaar en twee oostenrijkers. Toevallig gingen we allemaal naar hetzelfde guesthouse. De eigenaresse van het guesthouse sprak geen engels dus het duurde even voor we allemaal een kamer hadden. Het was een zeer luxe kamer, dit hebben we nog niet eerder gehad. Groot tweepersoonsbed, tafel met twee stoelen, kast, tv en badkamer. Ook kregen we elk een handdoek en een fles water. Na het ...
