Bangkok: Banglamphu and ping pongs too!

Sun, 7 Feb 2010 | By tessa86 | Views [1491]

Our trip from Don Det to Bangkok involved 3 bus rides. Everyone else on the island booked a joint ticket but we saved about $10 - woohoo - doing it separately for not much more hassle. We are soooo intrepid these days. As mentioned in my previous entry, ... Read more >

Flew into the mumbai and saw all the slums and people in them, was really hot and had to go all the way to the other side of the airport to catch the next plane. In Bangkok now, enjoying it alot, everyone is friendly and food is cheap etc.  They obviously ... Read more >

Let's wrap this up!

I understand why they charge extra money for the lower berths. I also understand why they sell out first. The top is tighter quarters than the lower berth and even though they give you two straps to keep from rolling out of them, there is always that ... Read more >

Timeline Caphooey.

Ok. So I am so backed up in writing about up until now, I am just going to throw timeline to the wind and write a few things. We are currently in CHang Mai, THailand and heading to Laos on Monday. This is much further along on our travels than anticipated.... Read more >

Bangkok and Beyond Part I "Keep your arms and legs inside the Tuk Tuk'"

Thu, 4 Feb 2010 | By ashleyheilmann | Views [657]

Fortunately, we got some really cheap bus tickets while we were on Ton Sai that would take us all the way to Bangkok. Unfortunately, these were the famed "Joint Tickets" that Alex had painfully experienced on his last trip to Thailand. Basically ... Read more >

So long, Chiang Dao and Chiang Mai

Thu, 4 Feb 2010 | By melissa_k | Views [654]

The cab from Malee’s to the bus station is 150 THB, so R and I decided to share a ride and split the fare. After breakfast I said my goodbyes to V and to Malee who held my hand in hers all the way to the cab and commented on how cold it was, like a ... Read more >

A late start, then off to the hot springs

The last time I had elective surgery I swore to myself never again because I hate the after effects of the general anesthesia so much. The feeling that I woke up to this morning was quite similar to those after affects. I felt as though lethargy had ... Read more >

Melissa gets wasted for the first time...film at eleven

Tue, 2 Feb 2010 | By melissa_k | Views [443]

When I got back to my bungalow after the hike, I scrubbed myself, my shirt, everything. The stains were going to be stubborn to come out and I had these little prickly stems attached to the sleeve that would require a concentrated effort to remove. ... Read more >

Railay Beach! Home of the Death Trek?

Tue, 2 Feb 2010 | By kaitieandcaroline | Views [2282]

So we went to Railay for a few days after Koh Lanta for yet another gorgeous beach! We took a ferry, just like all our other island hopping adventures. After sitting on the ferry for a while, we looked out the window and commented on this beautiful beach ... Read more >

The Tuesday Morning market and a "scary trail"

Tue, 2 Feb 2010 | By melissa_k | Views [871] | Comments [1]

I had heard that the hill tribe women bring in crafts to sell at the Tuesday Morning Market and I was excited to go have a look. I had postponed all of my purchasing until I got to Chiang Dao and today I was disappointed. There was very little in terms ... Read more >

Koh Lanta ...Paradise! Oh Yea!

Tue, 2 Feb 2010 | By kaitieandcaroline | Views [532]

 So we decided Koh Phi Phi was a tad too much for us, so left after only a few nights. We heard great things about this island called Koh Lanta (which we originally thought sounded super boring in our Lonely Planet book) and decided we had some time ... Read more >

Through the hedge to Malee's bungalows

Mon, 1 Feb 2010 | By melissa_k | Views [525]

I did enjoy my walk into Chiang Dao proper this morning. I went early enough so that it was still cool and late enough for the dogs to be settled down. They get so crazy when someone is out walking in the morning. A couple of pooches approached me, ... Read more >
