Last stop in Thailand – Ao Nang, a beach town – more touristy, but a good launching point for tours and nearby attractions. Melissa, who I had met on my Phi Phi tour, was a day or so ahead of me on a similar route, and so when I got to Ao Nang, we met […]
I arrived in Krabi Town and decided to do the usual “walk until you find a hotel you like” process. It seems to work better than booking online most places since you can ask to see a room first, and sometimes negotiate or find a better price than was listed online. You’ll also find many […]
What to do after being on an island? Another island of course! 45 Minute ferry from Ko Phi Phi to Ko Lanta (if you haven’t figured out by now, “Ko” means island.) I went with a hotel that Alec’s friends recommended/worked for, and after cross-checking the prices online, confirmed they gave me a good deal. Ko […]
Ko Phi Phi Don is an island shaped like this in the center: )( There is basically a mountain range on each side of the island, and in-between them is where all the hotels/bars are, in between the two bays. The island is a walking-only island – no cars are allowed except for one or two garbage […]
It’s been a while! Time to play catch up on the blog… so… what happened after Ko Pha-ngan? I decided I wouldn’t hit any more of the gulf islands, and make my way to the islands on the west side of Thailand, in the Andaman Sea. Ko Phi Phi was recommended to me by many […]
On to the party island of Ko Phangan, situated in the Thailand Gulf. I took the slow boat (ferry) to the island, which takes about 2 1/2 hours, but we were on Thai time, so obviously longer. It was a full day of traveling all the way from Chiang Mai, so I ended up […]
Pai is a town located about 3 1/2 hours from Chiang Mai, via some very windy roads, and could be classified as a small hippie town situated in a lush valley of green. It’s a very small town, with only one or two main streets – you can easily walk the entirety of “downtown”. The […]
On to Chiang Mai. Landed, went to the taxi station and started asking about taking a taxi to the city. The city is pretty close to the airport so fares were cheap, but I heard some other people speaking English catching cabs so I asked a few where they were going and if they’d like […]
After being up for a good 27 hours I arrived in Bangkok and caught a taxi to my hotel. It’s interesting crossing the International Date Line – instead of a simple 2 or 3 hour time change, you go 17 hours ahead (14 if you’d come from Seattle) – which sure can mess with your […]
I had a 4 hour layover in Tokyo on my way to Bangkok. My main goal was to find some sushi. I asked around about going outside the airport but most of the people didn’t think I had time to do so, since Narita airport is far enough from Tokyo. So, I set out to […]
I think you said it perfectly, brother. "the point is (...)
Yep - go for it, just send me a link to any public works (...)
