I arose early this morning to make it to the bus station for the 8:00 bus to Erawan Falls. It took me a while to walk there, but at 7:30 in the morning, the Thai sun hasn’t made it’s full brilliant appearance. The ride to Erawan National Park took about ... Read more >

So we took our flight from Hong Kong to Phuket after watching Avatar 4D at the airport (yes, 4D..they had bubbles and wind machines and smoke..and flung water at you!). It was a great way to kill some of the 7 hours at the airport we had to wait for ... Read more >

I said goodbye to Ayutthaya this morning with the hopes that someday when I had more money, I could come back and do a sunset cruise on the Chao Praya river. I opted for private transportation to Kanchanaburi instead of public. There is no direct public ... Read more >

I had my limits tested today in more ways than one. After being baked by the Thai sun yesterday, I decided to take an umbrella with me on my walk to the floating market. Seeing a woman walking under an umbrella on a sunny day is a common thing in Thailand, ... Read more >

They told me to rent a bicycle to explore Ayutthaya, but I didn’t listen. I thought that the temples were in an area that could be easily explored on foot. Besides, I have a low tolerance for temple-visiting, even if it historically significant. I thought ... Read more >

The train ride was not nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. It turned out that the seats reclined and were soft contrary to what the man who I bought the train ticket said. So that was a bonus, and seeing as I was exhausted from minimal sleep ... Read more >

This morning Sir Richard helped me to solve my phone problems. We went down to the 7-11 where I bought a Thai sim card and a phone card that had 200THB worth of talking time. He told me that this was a much less expensive option than the exorbitant ... Read more >

I was full of excitement as I laced up my hiking shoes for the day-long trek into Khao Yai National Park. I had not been able to venture out during my trip back to Kansas because of the cold, and by cold I mean cruel, sharp-edged cold that makes you ... Read more >

I arrived in Pak Chong by 2:30. The fellow from the Greenleaf Guesthouse had advised me to be there by three, but I still faced the problem of contacting the guesthouse so that they could come and get me. I managed to get all of my gear off of the bus ... Read more >

Today I left my comfortable jet-lag recovery nest in Bangkok and headed off to Khao Yai National Park. I hadn’t spent too much time in Bangkok, but for me, it is a place that is best taken in small doses. I loaded everything into my huge backpack, put ... Read more >
