The Rimkok Resort is kind of our in the middle of no where. We could do the optional tour with the group today. They were going to a "local" village to see the hill tribe people. Most of the tour books say that these hill tribes are pretty much a tourist trap. Authentic tribes, living as tribes, are not ones to hock beads and trinkets to curious tourists. They even hint at the fact that tourism is slowly destroying the traditional lives of the hill tribe people. There is a catch 22 about tou...

Today we visited the long neck peoples trip. The ladies start putting bands around their heads from the age of 5, they add extra bands every year until necks very long. http://www.chiangdao.com/chiangmai/kare nlongneck.htm Then we visited Thai hill top tribes and walked around their village. After this we drove up in to a large Chinese settlement right in the mountains, they are very hard workers and this showed so clearly by how developed their area was. This Chinese area was Thailand's top ...

After saying farewell to the staff leader at the centre who took us to the Rimkok Resort Hotel we were looking forward to having a well deserved rest and a really hot shower. It felt strange in coming to this 5 star huge restort on its own island having come from sharing a room with Ro with two bunk beds, cold showers and no airconditioning. Unfortunately the shower was lukewarm but we didn't mind as we were so hot from the drive. The hot water we felt was necessary as we need to kill the lic...

Finally, we got off the beach long enough to book our ferry tickets to Phi Phi Island, and that's where I'm writing this from. Sitting outside a little book store in the centre of the island. It's a lovely place, only took an hour to get here from Lanta. The sea is amazing, bright jade green and crystal clear, it's baking hot and the sky is bright blue. It's a tiny little island but really busy and guess what? we've found all the backpackers, they're right here on Phi Phi. A bit hard to under...

... amazing. The view from the top level temple is probably the best one I have had in Thailand! And the temples themselves are different and rather beautiful. I actually had the urge to just sit there and "meditate" (not that I know how)...but alas I didn't have time, because I had to go catch my boat to Chiang Rai. So I had a wonderful 4 hour ride on a longtail boat to Chiang Rai. Yay, I rode a longtail boat for a purpose other than just taking a tour...it actually ...

... in a room the size of a small double bedroom at home, with about 8 people per hut. We then stopped for lunch (I didn't eat much and Tim mainly ate fried chicken), but the flies were a bit of a put-off! It was then a wobbly boat ride across the fast flowing river to the elephants. Being quite keen on good animal welfare this was really sad and had I known before what would happen I wouldn't have gone. The elephants are quite ...

... tease them as they would become aggressive and we saw the bad side of some of them! Another tourist got bitten when a monkey jumped on him after the guy turned his back on him! We were all hoping he had his rabies jab! Safely back in the truck and we were off to the most Northern part of Thailand right on the border with Burma. A couple of the guys went through but me and Sarah having left our passports 'safely' in Bangkok stayed ...

... waterfalls in southern Laos on the Cambodian border. Like any body of water, the Mekong is the lifeline for those who live near it. It is where they find their food; where they clean their dishes and clothes; bathe and play; and carries goods wherever it flows; provides drinking water, and yes, also where their sewage runs to. Unlike in other places, waterfront property isn't a sought after place when there isn't always proper sanitation. For us, the ...

... but difficult as I struggle with the accent and tone of Thai language. My students are much quicker learners then I am! :) I share a room with three other girls, Helen, Sara from Virginia, and Victoria from Austria. It's a very tiny room but we live in it well together. We have two bathrooms for a total of 12 girls in the house, each one with a sit down toilet (thank God) that is up two steps so I always hit my head on the ceiling (I'm too tall for this country ...

... dus 3 nachten hebben geslapen en zijn we per 'speedboot' lees een houten bootje voor 4 personen met een hele grote motor er achter, naar de grens van Thailand afgereist. Deze reis duurde maar liefst 6 uur afgezonderd van de wc-stops tussendoor.
Het was stroom opwaards dus de gloven sloegen soms goed door naar binnen.
Erg blij waren we dus ook met onze langebroek, 2 truien en regenjack, zwemvest, helm en niet te vergeten onze oordoppen(waarvoor we ...
