Hi friends and family, After a grueling 36 hours of travel - we're here!!! Our travels began in Salt Lake with stop overs in L.A, Taipei, Singapore and finally arriving in Bangkok totally exhausted. In L.A. we had a 41/2 hour wait. We had dinner at the Grill and then cut an extremely long security line. What could have easily been over an hour wait in line, Craig just "innocently" walked right in. We then flew 13 hours to Taipei on Singapore Airlines. I now know why they are ranked as one of ...
Bangkok, Thailand craigmorris
... trying to sell anything from drinks and food to necklaces. I won this test of patience and stepped out still in a good mood. Found a cheap and good guest house which also ran tours through the National Park. Sat out the next day for some jungle action and elephant hunting - did not see any elephants though but loads of other animals (got some nice shots there). <br>Spontaneously decided to cut this trip short and headed to glorious Chiang ...

Chiang Mai, Thailand jimpad... temples. At the end of the 18th century, King Taksin the Great regrouped the Thais in the south and finally drove the Burmese out with the help of King Kawila of Lampang thereby regaining Thai independence from Burma. Chiang Mai was then governed by a succession of princes who ruled the north as a Siamese protectorate under the Chakri dynasty. In the late 19th century, King Rama V appointed a ...
Chiang Mai, Thailand amazingthailand... naar 4 ronde koepels waar telkens 4 gigantische gouden boeddhabeelden goedkeurend glimlachen. In de stenen wanden puilen rijen enorme stenen olifanten tot hun middel uit zodat het lijkt alsof ze de tempel op hun rug dragen. Dit alles aanschouw ik momenteel met op de achtergrond een prachtige zon die lachzaam achter de heuvels verdwijnt. Monniken in oranje gewaad begroeten mij vriendelijk en het gezang van hun gebeden weerklinkt uit een kleinere tempel iets verderop en ...
Chiang Mai, Thailand elinebouckaert... I went back to the hostel and crashed. I wanted to stay up for the game. Glad I didn't. We were 2-0 at halftime, Brazil came back and beat us 2-3. Hmmm. At least competing with world powers now. I see progress in that loss. <br><br>So today Shane and I rented a car and went North. The car was delivered at noon. My hands were shaking at the thought of having to sign the contract. I held the pen up as it shook violently and I showed Shane and Noom my utter fear of ...
Chiang Mai, Thailand tex25We got a bus to Chiang Mai for a little more money than we expected. No local buses apparently so had to pay for an aircon coach instead. Journey took about 5 and a half hours. After getting something to eat we headed to the night market, where i got some shorts and another tshirt. The next day we booked an adventure day consisting of mountain biking, elephant riding and white water rafting. After that we headed down to the driving range. Nobody really won the bet as we couldn't ...
Chiang Mai, Thailand banj... a rat that was floating in the water basin. Our lunch was good but right as we stopped it really started to thunder. We had missed it the night before but this time there was no such luck. After everyone had finished their lunches, stir fry wrapped in banana leaves, we laid down to take a little break. About 20 minutes later it started to rain. At first it was kind of nice, we were laying there all warm and dry, while the rain pitter-pattered on the roof. Then it started to pick up ...
Doi Inthanon National Park, Chiang Mai, Thailand zombywoof... my mouth i'd surely be out cold within the minute. what may be more disturbing was that i had almost become aroused by the thought of laying with this thai princess, vital organs or no vital organs. kidney or no kidney, i'd have dozed off grinning. but i was spared the gift of crude surgery when a hut with a palm tree roof came into view. seated at the table were three french guys, the thai girlfriend of one of the french cats, a beautiful, leggy stunner with the sex appeal of ...
Chiang Mai, Thailand cinema4... we visited where they offered a three-hour introduction to Buddhism discussion in English once a week led by one of the monks. The setting was quite peaceful as we sat in a very basic little temple on the edge of the lake. The lecturer turned out to be a white former Australian turned monk talking about why he liked Chiang Mai. Soon after we sat down he said it was time to start, but that he didn't like formal lectures, so we should ask questions. If I am ever ...
