Background: A unified Thai kingdom was established in the mid-14th century. Known as Siam until 1939, Thailand is the only Southeast Asian country never to have been taken over by a European power. A bloodless revolution in 1932 led to a constitutional monarchy. In alliance with Japan during World War II, Thailand became a US ally following the conflict. Thailand is currently facing armed violence in its three Muslim-majority southernmost provinces.

So i finally leave Bangkok (after 5 days of being ill) and head to Udon Thani, never even heard of it but i wanted to go to loas and its cheaper to go there first and get a bus (which sounds easier than my actual journey which was a bit of a nightmare). I land in Udon and have no clue where to stay or where to go but i end up jumping in a mini bus going to somewhere and i get talking to a guy from Belgium and we both try the same hotel but it was full, so [View Full Entry]

I have just got back from three days in the jungle in northern Thailand! We took the overnight bus from Bangkok up to Chiang Mai then a hour taxi ride up into the hills. After stopping off at a flower plantation and the local market, we arrived at the elephant park where we had lunch and put on our super cool and fashionable sun hats in preparation for the elephant ride. We nicknamed our elephant Carlos (pretty sure he was the biggest one there) and we enjoyed quite a bumpy ride around the park! Carlos decided that he didn't want to [View Full Entry]

“We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm, and adventure. There is no end to the amount of adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.” - Jawaharial Nehru” Bangkok is hard to describe at first glance. There are too many things in the blender to give it one simple label. At first glance Bangkok is the city that feels like what I imagined Southeast Asia to be like. Bangkok is a gritty, fast paced, too many electrical plugs in one socket kind of city. A city with 6 foot Monitor [View Full Entry]

Well folks the last time I left you I was sitting in a trance in Hong Kong airport unable to sleep waiting for a plane. Obviously enough we got it eventually after a mammoth wait in an airport which was probably as happy to see us go as we were to leave - lets just say the smell of the globetrotters along with the sound of snores doesn't encourage much love. Anyways after a short plane journey we hit bangkok and set about making our way to Koahsan road to stay at a hostel called the Palace. After a taxi ride [View Full Entry]

(written by Kerry with some additions from Graham) So after leaving Bangkok we went to.. Phitsanulok, Sukhothai, Chiang Mai & Pai Phitsanulok was more or less just a convenient location on the main train line to Chiang Mai where we could stay to take a day trip to Sukhothai. The air-conditioning on the train we took from Bangkok was a little bit too good - most people spent the journey wrapped up in jumpers, coats or sleeping bags. Phitsanulok was a pretty cute little town with a nice night market. We stayed in one of "the best Thai national Youth Hostels [View Full Entry]

Well here I am in Pai Thailand! After arriving in Thailand I flew North to Chiang Mai for one night then headed to one of my favorite places Pai . If you have ever been here you know what I mean. This place is so laid back that you just never want to leave. I Plan on staying for a few days and just chill and get over the jet lag. I was lucky to get into one of my favorite little guesthouses (only $9 a night!!) called Pai Chan. They have the most amazing gardens and a very sweet [View Full Entry]

Well this is it. Tonight I leave for Seattle then Taipai to Bangkok. It takes about 24 hours from PDX to BKK. Yes it is a long trip but you know your somewhere else when you step off that plane. Whew hoo! Anyway I am really excited and nervous even though I have made this part of the trip more times than I want to count. Today I am just packing, hanging out with my hubby (who is really just watching football) and enjoying being in my adorable little house. A Gorgeous day here which makes it hard to leave but [View Full Entry]

OK, so as Em said - I have a small tale to tell. I could have just let her tell it, but it was a very personal experience I hold close to my heart. So as I'm sure Em said - the guide told us we could ride on the roof if we wanted. Since I've fallen on my head in the past, I of course thought this was an AWESOME idea! So we climbed on the roof an charged off. It was the first true 'highlight' of the trek and we were all stoked. Then after a while of hanging [View Full Entry]

Day 57 We woke up knowing that we had to fly to bangkok today so there was not much time to do anything. We nipped out and brought some guidebooks to Laos and Cambodia because we already had one for Thailand and these would help us plan our trip. Then we met Nigel again (our friend from Halng bay) and we had a drink with him and relaxed at a bar for a while before we had to get a taxi to the airport. When we got to the airport we checked in with plenty of time and relaxed for a [View Full Entry]
