| 11th June 2009 lkrhoads | - From: I've always relied on the kindness of strangers . . . Oooh, you might be on to something there! I often got the impression that I was in one of those books when I was weighing my options, especially in transportation situations. A whole series . . .I like it! |

| 10th June 2009 Stephanie Null | fav - From: I've always relied on the kindness of strangers . . . I think this might be my favorite one yet! I think you should name your travel guide book - Choose Your Own SE Asia Adventure....then we can complete a whole series of locations. |
| 4th June 2009 Courtney | - From: Vang Vieng: Tube down the river during the day and catch up on every episode of Friends you've ever missed at night Ditto on the whole blog, well written! And I love that they have named the Banana Pancake Trail. Exactly as you said, spot on. But oh how I miss it so sometimes... :) |

| 28th May 2009 Courtney | - From: 10 days at a silent meditation retreat leads to . . . a really long blog entry Well done Laurie...though rewarding, I can tell this was a challenge as well. Loved reading about it, especially the music tracks throughout! |
| 28th May 2009 Courtney | - From: Bus tips hahah I love this! Definitely hear ya on the personal space...my favorite was spooning with a 50 year old Laos woman (because it was the only way to fit) on the 'bed bus' to the south. Quite the experience! |
| 28th May 2009 Courtney | - From: Sticky rice is my favorite! I was craving sticky rice the other day and finally got it! There is an Indonesian Festival going on here right now and I had some white and black sweet sticky rice...heaven! |
| 28th May 2009 Courtney | - From: A fine night of traditional Lao dance and drunken backpacker bowling Oh what a night... |

| 26th March 2009 Courtney | - From: V.I.P bus? There must be some mistake . . . oh holy hell, there is no waaaay I would have lasted. I'm glad you did ok, and even happier for you that I was not there...that coulda been bad! |
| 13th March 2009 lkrhoads | - From: Clamoring for stickers I should have saved some for people at home- I didn't even think of it! I was so embarassed about passing them out that I threw the rest away. Except for one that I have stuck to my laptop, but I filled in the red shorts with marker to make it decent! |
| 13th March 2009 lkrhoads | - From: Some reflections on the education system here Oh, pish posh! Next you'll be complaining about the yellowed bathing suit pictures in the next blog about the beach! You look marvelous. |
| 13th March 2009 Tammy | - From: Clamoring for stickers Can I get one of those offending stickers? That's hilarious! |
| 12th March 2009 Stephanie Null | whity pasty legs - From: Visitors from Boulder! Umm, i wish this blog was like Facebook and I could un-tag the truly unflattering picture of myself in my bathing suit....thanks....haha. |
| 11th March 2009 lkrhoads | - From: Some reflections on the education system here Yeah, I tried to do the positives first so it didn't seem too negative!! Thought of all our conversations as I was typing it, too. |
| 10th March 2009 Courtney | - From: Clamoring for stickers Dang, how could I have been so daft to forget about the use of stickers! That would have helped....haha |
| 10th March 2009 Courtney | - From: Some reflections on the education system here ditto ditto ditto! |
| 27th February 2009 Courtney | - From: If the guesthouse is a rockin'. . . you must be in Kanchanaburi! hahah I forgot about the ladyboy bathroom sign. amazing. |
| 21st February 2009 lkrhoads | - From: Getting ready to bid farewell to C-buri Glad you got to see it before we exit Thailand! I'm going to write a stern letter to Lonely Planet demanding that C-buri make it into the next edition. |
| 21st February 2009 lkrhoads | - From: Getting ready to bid farewell to C-buri You know, I was just thinking the same thing today. It's unfortunate that it wouldn't be convenient to just 'swing by' Chonburi so you could have a look. I will probably be taking some more pictures in the next week, though, and I will try to bottle up some of the exhaust smell to share with you when you get here! |
| 20th February 2009 Courtney | - From: Getting ready to bid farewell to C-buri ohh the Dirty Dirty C. yes, we'll all miss it so. |
| 19th February 2009 Stephanie Null | Ahhh C-bus - From: Getting ready to bid farewell to C-buri I'm kind of sad I won't get to see it in person! But glad you included the pics |
| 18th February 2009 lkrhoads | - From: Girls' Valentine's weekend à trois in Chonburi I'm afraid living here may have turned us into irrevocable cheapskates. How will I ever go back to paying anything more than $10 for an hour massage (and $10 is almost too expensive here!!) |
| 18th February 2009 Courtney | - From: Girls' Valentine's weekend à trois in Chonburi Steph- you must must have the fondue! worth it even though it's pricy (by our cheap SE Asian standards haha) Laurie- great weekend, as always! love the pics |
| 17th February 2009 Courtney | - From: Thai jazz hands- Chicago dance contest haha love it! It was a great time, and I owe it all to you and your catchy eye of the Bangkok Post. (and I guess my mom for fed exing my jazz shoes to me haha) |
| 16th February 2009 lkrhoads | - From: Girls' Valentine's weekend à trois in Chonburi haha- i knew you would like that one! yes, indeed, 9 scoops of ice cream in the flavors that you choose. it was fabulous, especially because i had a coupon! |
| 16th February 2009 Stephanie Null | fondue - From: Girls' Valentine's weekend à trois in Chonburi I demand that we have that fondue next week! it looks delicious....are those mini scoops of ice cream? sign me up |
| 4th February 2009 Courtney | - From: Royal Love I thought the photo montage at the movies was funny too! Well not funny ha-ha, but kind of cute and different. I remembered you telling me about hearing the natl. anthem at 6 that day, and one day when I was at the park at that time, the same thing happened. I stopped along with everyone else, but seemed to get more stares from Thais that I knew to actually stop! |
| 28th January 2009 Courtney | - From: Chonburi Street Aerobics Yay! I am so excited you discovered the market! That should definitely make life better in the buri. I have seen aerobics here a couple times but keep forgetting where exactly they are and when. Maybe i'll have to try them out with you when I come visit... |
| 28th January 2009 Courtney | - From: Monkey Mountain! oooh can we please please go there! it looks like fun!! yay for GGW 'Buri '09!! |

| 20th January 2009 Courtney | - From: Children's Day at Suaree School Aww I love your comments...yes, they are special little beings! Your coworkers kinda suck. haha |
| 20th January 2009 Courtney | - From: Happy 2009/2552 from Ko Tao! I like our 'prom' picture from the walkabout the island haha |
| 9th January 2009 Christine Berg | Tee - From: More presents! Can vegetarians eat bird nest health supplement? Hey Laurie, That Obama shirt is awesome - what a cool way to celebrate our new President!!! |
| 9th January 2009 Kate | You're my hero! - From: Is it actually fun to stay at the YMCA? My brief foray into the drag cabaret scene My favorite entry yet...way to whip it up! |
| 8th January 2009 lkrhoads | - From: Vinny arrives and I get to play tour guide! It was fun to have you and I feel the void since you left! I have to get you all the other pix that will not go up on the blog and are also a little too much for facebook (dance pix from that last night). I might upload them to Kodak.com or some such site and then send them to you and Courtney privately. xo |
| 8th January 2009 lkrhoads | - From: Why can't I 'wai?' Oh yeah, good point! I didn't even go into the awkwardness of the one-handed wai. Very tricky, indeed. |
| 7th January 2009 vinny | sweet trip - From: Vinny arrives and I get to play tour guide! hi chica. i loved looking at these pics. i had an awesome time with you. looking forward to our next adventure together. love, v |
| 7th January 2009 Courtney | - From: Why can't I 'wai?' Oh I feel ya on this one! I finally stopped giggling every time I tried to wai and just pretend I'm doing it right now. My favorite though is when I'm bicycling into school, go past the director, and attempt to do the one handed wai, while holding on to m bike and peddling. Quite tricky! |
| 6th January 2009 Courtney | - From: More presents! Can vegetarians eat bird nest health supplement? ohh just you wait! we will have a matching obama tshirt pic and when we do, we can both put it as our profile picture hahaha. glad you like it! |
| 25th December 2008 Fiona | - From: Monkeys, Leech/tick socks, and wild elephants What fun! Glad you opted for the socks, those leeches weren't too fun. Just like Courtney, I really enjoyed the pics through the binoculars. Wouldn't have thought of that! Happy Christmas! |
| 25th December 2008 lkrhoads | - From: Monkeys, Leech/tick socks, and wild elephants I definitely thought of your safari stories and pix when I was there! |
| 25th December 2008 Courtney | - From: Battling the Christmas blues Ahh yes, I understand completely. I too got mac n cheese in a package from the rents and was so excited! I'm saving it for a night when I really need some good comfort food. Love the home alone throw back though ;-) |
| 25th December 2008 Courtney | - From: Monkeys, Leech/tick socks, and wild elephants wow looks great! I'm jealous about the elephants for sure, especially because yes, that is how it is on safari :) the pics thru the lense are great too! |
| 17th December 2008 lkrhoads | - From: Absent-minded scuba instructor, a stolen phone (for real this time) and island paradise Everything seems like a better idea after a bucket or 2, I guess. Good thing we saw that little charade at the beginning of the night :) |
