Petch-Kasem Hotel Phetchaburi

... nowhere with lots of man-made canals. There were tons of people there, apparently doing the some community service as us for a company. We were in a cute little house on stilts. We all just had these sort of mats on the floor with plenty of ants, but I guess I'm used to them by now. They're everywhere, even in your food. We went to go to the beach to plant the mangrove trees. We went in a canoe-like boat down through some waterways to where we plant the trees. It looked like they ...

... her bags on her lap as no room on the floor of the bus or seat. <br><br>So the next thing I knew, I had a baby (NOT MINE!) my giant backpack and my bag on a suppose-to-be quick 2hr bus ride which turned into a full-out 4 and a half hr ordeal as we dropped the many schoolchildren off at their respective villages along the way. The baby was quite calm (THANK GOD!) and preoccupied herself with the Canadian flag on my backpack ...

Today's excursion begins with a trip to the famed Damnoensaduak Floating Market - which, though you may not have realized it, is something you have seen if you've seen any generic film footage of Thailand. Basically it's that place where people in funky straw hats paddle long, skinny rowboats and motorboats down a narrow canal selling food and...boat rides and miscellaneous trinkets. The canal is about twenty feet across and lined ...

... 9 heures au total. Rejean a calculer au moin 20 km. Nous etions tres tres tres fatiguer a notre arrive . Rejean a fait ca comme un pro. on ne sait pas tromper d'une rue. Nous devions attendre au moin 15 minutes pour traverser la rue. On ne comprend pas encore quand il faut traverser. On se faufile finalement. Chemin fesant, nous avons vue pas mal de truc et ce grace a Sylvain qui voulait que l'on achete des logiciels au centre ville. Nous ...

So da es an der Zeit ist Richtung Malaysia zu reisen machten wir uns auf den Weg nach Petchaburi. Kaum ist man wieder in Thailand ist das Reisen per Bus sehr komfortabel.(wenn man die Busse in Kambodscha erlebte) In Patchaburi checkten wir in das "Rabieng Rim Nam Guest House"(welches im Lonely Planet steht).Es ist ein kleines gemuetliches Hostel mit supergemuetlichen Restaurante mit Blick auf den Fluss.Nochdazu ...

... no avail, and soon it was pretty clear that my only option was to go with one of the motorbike taxi drivers, who wasn't at all phased by my luggage (they fit entire families on those bikes) and confidently explained through various gestures that nobody knew where the centre was but that we'd find it no problem. First of all we went to the local police station which was closed, then we went to his friend's house who pointed us in the right vague direction ...

... common in Thailand and some people might take it seriously. They want to know what is going to happen so they can prepare for it. People can go for a session as frequent as once a week. It can be every time a different fortune teller. Phuen was quite cheerful after the session so probably had received a positive update. She would not share the details with me as it is supposed to be kept private. Whole place was reasonably ...

... anywhere to put them, so we just went right to the restaurant and relaxed while the others did their errands/rabies shots. We ate at Sara Jane's, which was fun. It's a restaurant that specializes in Isan (northeastern Thailand) cuisine and this one in Hua Hin also has some Italian. It was begun by an American woman who married a Thai guy when they were both in school in Boston, after they moved back to Thailand. I had emailed with Elena, another girl who's ...

... re so heavy that they crash through the roof. There are three mango holes in the roof right now. When it rains, rainwater falls in through the mango holes. So far the mangoes have only hit the table and floor, and I hope they don't hit a person or a dog. (We have 22 pet dogs at the center). 4. The lack of hot water. It's fine for the showers--I've gotten used to cold showers--but we don't have ...
