This morning we finally departed Koh Phi Phi., We chose to depart by Seaplane but wait........we are not paying that much compared to what it would have cost in Bora Bora. The ferry ride is about $45.00 and 4 hours and the magical Seaplane is $100 and 16 minutes. Not a ************* .... you decide. In the morning we said goodbye to everyone and specially the staff at the HOLIDAY INN. The seaplane was just so magical. 16 minutes and we were in Krabi to connect to our flight to BANGKOK. On arr...
Bangkok, Thailand chrisgraham103Sunday Morning- I woke up and walked over to the Holiday Inn Bkk and Lynn was there!!!! Idk if I already said this but, wow, Holiday Inns are alot different in Asia- they are a luxury hotel chain. The place is beautiful, I am with a friend, and Im relieved to be back with english speaking company. All if going well. Day 1 we went to the famous Jim Thompson house. Jim Thompson was a US WWII vet who ended up in Bangkok at the end of the war. He got interested in silk and turned the Thai silk in...
Bangkok, Thailand clb2112Welp, I'm BACK in Bangkok. After having way too much fun recovering from being sick on Ko Chang, Trish, Jay, Hans and I headed back to Bangkok via ferry and bus yesterday. All was going well until we got into Bangkok and I realized upon checking into our hotel (yes, a REAL hotel...more on that later) that my passport was missing. But oh wait, so was my birth certificate and $160. ****. Hans and I dumped out everything in our backpacks searching for the missing documents, but naturally they we...
Bangkok, Thailand courtneyjensenTomorrow I will officially be an American citizen again. This second passport of mine will help me leave Thailand the day after tomorrow and head to Cambodia with Maria before my visa runs out that same day. That's cutting it close. Hans left this afternoon after a failed attempt to leave yesterday. After three weeks of rooming together we wrote each other brief "thank you for the memories" notes, hugged and said our goodbyes down by the awesome Holiday Inn pool that we've grown to love almos...
Bangkok, Thailand courtneyjensenBreakfast is nice but this wasn't as fancy as the breakfast I had some years ago at the President Hotel in the World Trade Center areas. It offers variety choices from Japanese pickles, Chinese conge, noodle to western fare. The juice is fresh and tasty. I skip the iced water just to be safe because don't know where the ice comes from. I have my bottled distilled water from home with me but the orange and peach juices are fine for now. The 8 AM, the taxi driver come and he isn't allowed to co...
Bangkok, Thailand dstomtI went to bangkok to compete in South East Asia Grappling Games.
Bangkok, Thailand fransinoNow I'm sure some of you will be interpreting the title of this blog to suggest that, after 3 months apart, Ian and I staged some kind of John and Yoko style 'love in' in Bangkok. Ufortunately I was bedridden for most of Saturday due to food poisoning, I can only assume acquired by room service on Friday night. So much for 4 star living! Two months living off street food, not so much a wiff of a dodgy belly. One burger with an egg (presumably the culprit) in the Holiday Inn later I'm up all n...
Bangkok, Thailand lyse_eBeen in Bangkok now about 4 days & leaving tonight & heading to Kho Phangan in the south & go to the biggest Full Moon Party this year apparently!!! Should be fun!! It was actually quite a shock to arrive in Bangkok from Sri Lanka...............everything's so clean & modern!!! And it's still weird to see so many westerners everywhere! Mostly english too. Met up with mum & dad the 1st day I arrived which was lovely (they'd just had a holiday in Thailand & Cambodia &...
