Surat Thani/Koh Samui/boats

Sun, 27 Jan 2013 | By andybouchier | Views [520]

We arrived at Surat Thani airport after a very short flight. Took about an hour. Basically we traded 1000 baht ($30) to save a 14 hour bus trip which may or may not have had A/C and we were both so hung over it would have been hell. We caught a bus to ... Read more >

Fri, 25 Jan 2013 | By lozza | Views [258]

So today I decided to head out to some ruins that were once under water when Thailand was under the sea back in the stone age.. I check on the map and it seems pretty straight forward.  Chiang Mai is in 2 sections, old and new. I'm living in ... Read more >

Sukothai, Thailand

Tue, 15 Jan 2013 | By sglass | Views [1533]

From Pai and Chiang Mai it was a relatively easy bus journey down to the ancient city of Sukothai in Central Thailand. There's not much to Sukothai besides ruins but they are well worth the trip! Sukothai is basically a later, mini-Angkor. As the Khmer ... Read more >

Chiang Mai, Thailand

Mon, 14 Jan 2013 | By bethsiu3 | Views [296]
