Here it is!  Paradise by the onboard lights of the overnight train!  South Thailand where beauty is affordable and easy.  Beautiful islands with corals ringing them and white sand gracing their surfaces.  Well, after a pretty grim train journey with ... Read more >

First coupla days

It has been a few days since I arrived in Bangkok and the time is literally flying. The flight over here was as gruesome as 16 hours in the air might sound. Not going to bore you with the details but one thing that I've learned from two shady sales men ... Read more >

First, let me just say, "I hate Koh Samui."  In fact, I hate it so much that if Chaweng Beach broke off the island and fell into the ocean it would only be an improvement. (OK...maybe I shouldn't put that bad kind of energy into the universe, ... Read more >
