Stage 3- Tour-de-Thailand Asia » Thailand » South-West Thailand » Ko Phayam

Ko Pahyam
View from the speedboat

So the top gear journey of the year begun. We left Puhket bright and early stood on the side of the road waiting for a bus. The fact that there was no bus stop or timetable didnt matter as we knew it would come but we hoped it would stop for us. The journey to Ko Pahyam would see us lug our bags onto the bus, a coach to Ranong where we were picked by Vijit (the guy who owned the accommdation) in his pick-up truck, then we got his speed boat to make the 30min trip to Ko Payham where [View Full Entry]

My Thoughts of Bangkok Asia » Thailand » Central Thailand » Bangkok

My Impression of Bangkok. Been here a few days now and I can safely say I havent warmed to the place. I had a rough idea that its was going to be a stepping stone onto the next location but I guess I didnt know what to expect. Went for a wander yesterday down some little back streets and had a walk around the little market stalls that line the edges of the road. Taxi drivers, tuk tuk drivers , stall owners all heckling me for a fare or “come see my selection of suits. . . .”big sizes, you buy [View Full Entry]

Krazy Kathmandu! Asia » Nepal » Kathmandu » Thamel

Well People, sorry I haven't updated this on a while but I was nearly going to give up on it all during the last month. All will be explained in time. My first thought when I got into Kathmandu was 'What the fuck happened this place?!' The infrastructure of the place was shocking. Dusty dirty pot-holed roads, power lines hanging above peoples heads and wot-not, I know there was a war going here but that was fought mostly in the mountains. Going to have the keep the wits about me in this place I was thinking, going to have to look [View Full Entry]

Girls Night Asia » China » Shanghai

Barbarossa restaurant

A couple weekends ago the girls decided we would ditch "the guys" and have a Girl's Night! Best idea----why did we not think of this earlier. Seriously???? We went to Barbarossa for dinner......a Mediterraean restaurant (equivalent to the Keg at home) but the atmosphere was really nice. Food and drinks were both great, especially the Happy Hour until 8pm......I may have had more than one drink lined up in front of me! After dinner we went to a Jazz bar called Cotton Club. It was a small bar, with many foreigners, mostly middle aged. After Cotton Club, we went to a [View Full Entry]

Making friends Asia » India » Goa » Candolim

block prints in Gujarat
Hand made block prints

Another week went by in Goa. It's funny how we do nothing and yet it seems like the days are just passing by... Must be because I am having fun. I really am. This year is very different because I stay close to the beach and the yoga shala, so there are also many other yogis in the area and it is a lot of fun to be part of a small community of people with similar focus, interests, etc. The days start with the yoga practice, then a big breakfast, and after that I either stay home, read and relax [View Full Entry]

Gazes,Goggles and Gawkes Asia

..still gives me goosebumps looking at it..

Madam, if you don't trust me, you can turn around, and go find another taxi ok... What was this guy on about? Was he not aware of the reputation that preceded him and that of his country? He was a taxi driver and I was a simple western tourist with invisible dollar signs stamped on my forehead, and together, we were attempting to do business-in India.Trust was never going to be apart of this equation. But his indignation wasn't entirely without reason;I guess he was offended that I had just told him,that if I was to find out that the [View Full Entry]

Temples, Monkeys, Beaches, Bracelet Girls, and a Proper Cambodian Wedding. Asia

Paradise with a few minor annoyances Walking from my beauty sleep at about 9 30 am I firgured I have lots of time before the 10 30 bus. Get up pack then order some food. 5 minutes later a tuk tuk driver shows saying he'll take us to the bus and it actually leaves and 9:45, but the guy from the hostel knows I haven't eaten and talks to the guy in Khmer, then looks back at me (standing looking between the two of them completely lost) and tells me this is his friend and I have time to eat.
