| 14th October 2009 Cousin Rob | Sounds great! - From: 1 Year Anniversary in Phuket Hi Thai Dixons, Looks like a fantastic time. And congratulations on your first year! Many blessings, Rob, Amy and the crew |
| 7th March 2009 mataho | Congrats... - From: Wedding Hi! Congratulations. Beautiful wedding pics... I've followed your blog ever since your first trip to Thailand in '05-06?. In fact, you were part of my inspiration to visit southern Thailand back in '06 (my first trip) -- Trang town specifically -- which I have done many times as I have good friends there. Interestingly enough, I've now lived here for three years...and have made 11 trips back and forth to America! Your story -- and your wife's -- was (is) fun to follow...thanks for sharing it. I have a good friend who is the head of the English Dept. at Bangkok Christian School. If you ever want to connect with him send me an e-mail. Chok dee & Sawasdee khup! |
| 16th August 2008 Janice | Wedding and more - From: Wedding Plans Had a great trip with your folks. Of course, you and Saai were much on our minds. Looking forward to a California celebration. Keep that in your plans. Congratulations to you both. |
| 14th August 2008 Rob | Holy Cow - From: Wedding Plans How sad I am that I won't be at your wedding!!! I was going to have mom and dad send me out there but we have a baby due at the end of Sept. Congrats to you and Saai and we'll hope to see you both soon. Blessings, R and A. |
| 4th August 2008 ecs | malate - From: Philippines sorry about the snatchers, good thing you got your money back. I frequent the starbucks branch there. Next time you drop by malate you should try Cafe Adriatico, near bistro Remedios. Good food as well. |
| 31st July 2008 Klopps | thanks - From: Wedding Plans for the update! We were just wondering about you last night. Enjoy the big day. :) |
| 25th June 2008 mizz | Makati - From: Farewell to the Philippines I will be looking forward for your next posts... It is true that Makati is far better than Malate. I just hope more foreign travelers book their hotels in the Makati area to avoid disappoint with Malate or Manila. :) |
| 25th June 2008 mizz | Boracay - From: Sticking Around I enjoy reading your blog... I am glad you liked Boracay... I myself fell in love with the place. http://vitzy.net/forum/Boracay-One-Of-The-World-s-Top-10-Beaches-t760.html |
| 14th April 2008 dog gone | When in Trang.. - From: Halong Bay ...you might want to check out the Tha Trang Collection...it's a nice little jewelry and gift shop one shop in from the corner just north of the Clock Tower (walk past the book store). You can find something nice for your fiancee there. The woman who owns it is very nice and she speaks English very well...check it out. |
| 2nd April 2008 Glenn | Congratulations!! - From: Ko Samui Revisited Dave, Thought I would check and see if you had any entries lately. What an entry!! Congratulations to you and Saai! I am very happy for you both, and you look so happy and content. Life is looking good! Glenn |
| 31st March 2008 dbaird | - From: Honk Honk Hanoi Glad you're seeing the world - Also glad you got to see the UCLA games - we missed having you with us in Anaheim (sent you a picture) - the game won in the last nine seconds was electrifying. Congrats on the engagement. Thanks for the updates - we think of you often. db |
| 29th March 2008 stephanie | look straight ahead... - From: Honk Honk Hanoi Our street crossing advice for the streets in the old part of town, which actually worked, was to look straight ahead while crossing casually, and the bikes & motorbikes will avoid you. We didn't try it, however, on the bigger streets if we saw a car or bus approaching. (Yikes!) Try not to miss going to a park early in the morning (sorry) so you can see all the different kinds of exercise taking place. We also found the war museum interesting. Great pixs, Saai is lovely. Love, Stephanie |
| 28th March 2008 Heather | UCLA - From: Honk Honk Hanoi Glad that you were able to see the UCLA game! It wasn't the best game for Western Kentucky but the at least close the gap a little towards the end! Darrell and I also watched the UNC game. We won! Sweet. Hope that you are able to catch more games in the next couple of days! I totally forgot that you would have to get up early to see the game! Remember when we were all in Thailand for the Superbowl? Had to get up early for that too! Think I like watching the games from the states more! Not a fan of that whole getting up early thing:) Have a good one!~Heather |
| 28th March 2008 Heather | Yeah! - From: Ko Samui Revisited I am so happy to finally see the blog again! Like I said before congrats on your engagement! I am so glad that your parents were able to go over to Thailand to meet Saai. AND to go to my favorite island...! I hope they enjoyed it! Thanks for the flood of memeories. I will have to pull my photo album off the self and look through it again. Look forward to more blogs!~Heather |
| 28th March 2008 dog gone | Italian Restaurant - From: Honk Honk Hanoi There's a really good Italian restaurant just across from the cathedral between the Spanish tapas place and the French Bakery. I know it's Viet Nam, but this place is really good...and cheaper than most of the good Italian place in BKK. |
| 26th March 2008 Sandra | - From: Ko Samui Revisited Dave! This is amazing! I've been following your love story and finally the marriage comes! Love without borders!^^ Congratulations! |
| 14th March 2008 jed | hi! - From: Farewell to the Philippines how i wish i could travel as much as you do... :] i'll be looking forward to your next destinations. take care! :] |
| 12th February 2008 Michelle | Not enough to stay in Malaysia? - From: Farewell Malaysia Hi Dave, I know it's 2008 now, but I bumped into your blog as I was doing some net surfing on Koh Lipe. :) Somewhat, I felt the urge to post a comment to you about you commenting on my country Malaysia. There ARE plenty to see if you stay long enough. So many towns and islands you've yet to discover, as from what I read in your entry, you've only been to like 3 places??? You have not checked out the wonderful gems on our east coast, what about the Borneo? Just a short note to share with you. Trust me that you've seen nothing yet if you've only been to Ipoh, Penang and Langkawi and made that comment. In fact, I've just came back from Langkawi myself. Well, all in all..to each his own. Perhaps Malaysia just isn't your cup of tea. Cheers. |
| 1st January 2008 Justin | - From: Going Home for the Holidays Dave Great to see you're doing so well, and living out your plans and dreams. How was Christmas back home in the US? |

| 14th September 2007 John C | Re: Job Hunt - From: Job Hunt Hey Dave: Sorry to hear you've been a little under the weather. I hope and pray that you get well soon, and that you have a good vacation in the Phillipines. I'm still on the job search myself... I hope that you'll find a good job soon...

| 13th September 2007 Lance | Philippines - From: TEFL certified I will be praying for your teaching job. After reading your blog I was thinking back to my trip in college to the philippines.

| 16th July 2007 Rob | - From: Week # 2 in Bangkok Love it Dave. Great posts. Take care, Rob. |
| 12th July 2007 Eric | - From: The weekend market of weekend markets Your a brave soul....street vendor and eating are not to be associated. Keep up the blog. I usually check in once a week. Glad all is well and tell Saai hello. Your new closing should be There gone Dave. |
| 11th July 2007 Jim rak Thai | Experience of a Lifetime - From: Thailand tidbits... Dave, this article sounded a little more like a tourist than a resident, so I assume you've just made your move. There are no words to describe the spiritual side of living in Thailand and learning the Thai ways. I lived there for eight years and my dream is to return one day. As a resident, you should explore the less touristy parts of the country. I highly recommend Isaan. The northeastern people are the gentlest and most hospitable. If you visit in an Isaan home, you will be served food. It is best to ask no questions on those occasions. The best way to visit Isaan is to go with a friend who is from there. I envy all the neat experiences you will be having. |
| 6th July 2007 jonathan. | just making sure... - From: Relocated in Bangkok that picture on your desk next to the water bottle better be of me, or at least of miranda and i... |

| 20th June 2007 Justin | - From: Moving Good luck with the move Dave. See you in Chiang Mai for pancakes again. |
| 10th June 2007 John C | - From: News Dave: We're going to miss you a lot - especially me, with you being a UCLA Bruin fan and all... Chris will definitely have to get you hooked up with that TV feed in Thailand so you can keep up with the happenings... Good luck and have fun!!! |
| 31st May 2007 Math teacher | - From: News Wow that's cool you're moving to Thailand. I thought that you're moving to India. Your girlfrind is Indian,doesn't she? Ooop,I'm sorry I misunderstand .she's Thai. :-p |

| 1st October 2006 Roxy girl | - From: Lake Mead, Nevada and North Carolina Wow it's such a good trip and great time to be with old friends. |
| 30th August 2006 there goes Dave | Saroeun - From: Siem Reap... I'd suggest contacting Saroeun (pronounced Saw Ruin). He's a great guide. His e-mail is sinsaroeun@hotmail.com or phone # (855) 12-950-232. Also, it's probably better to e-mail me rather than post a comment in the future if you need further info. Thanks. |
| 19th August 2006 Colette | Siem Reap - From: Siem Reap... Hi dave, would like to know more info on Siem Reap. I would be visiting the place with 3 of my friends from 17 to 19 sept. Which temples would u recommend ? Where did u get the guide from ? How much did they charge for 1 day ? |
| 17th June 2006 liz | question for dave - From: Phuket would you recommend fantasy hill for a family of 2 adults and 3 teenagers |
| 7th May 2006 Fight On - | Are you really??? - From: The Bug Show Are you really near Ulm? George and I lived in Goppingen - 1967-68. Goppingen is just north of Ulm - about 30 minutes south of Stuttgart. Home sweet home during those Army days. Can't wait to hear more. |
| 7th May 2006 Barrett | sounds pretty cool - From: through Germany... hey dave- So i've heard all about your car experience, but what about the autobahn? Have you been on it? Anyway it sounds like you're having a great time. It's a little different from SE Asia huh? Well, i'll see ya on thursday. -Barrett |
| 3rd May 2006 J. | German public transportation - From: The Bug Show They don't take your ticket in most European countries. It's sort of an 'honor system'. However, if you get caught without a ticket, the fine is very steep. So, having your ticket with you if vital if you don't want to pay a lot more. |
| 2nd May 2006 Mathias from germany | - From: The Bug Show Well the public transport ticket thing works like that in germany: you buy (a ticket) (the best way for you would be to buy a day ticket, should be far less than 10 euro per day in hannover), then you just enter the strassenbahn or bus. ther usually is noone who countrolls you. at least not in the strassenbahn. the bus triver might be if you enter the front door of the bus. But there are controllers, who irregularly countrol the tickets of each passanger. But here in the city of kassel where i live i havent seen a controller who controlled me for the last year. and i nearly use public transport every day. That means i could have saved the money for the ticket. But if you are getting catched without having a ticket you have to pay around 40 euro. but what what is worse: you are getting charged with a case of fraud. hope you understood what i tried to tell you. |
| 2nd May 2006 Eric | So thats where you've been - From: The Bug Show I was wondering where you were. I look forward to your updates. Call me when you get back in town. Any hints as to the new job? |
| 25th April 2006 Saai | Great - From: New York, Philly, Baltimore, and...well, Carneys Point, NJ Good job |
| 10th April 2006 GD | Lipe to Langkawi - From: 2 ferries, a taxi, a truck, and a longtail boat later... Just reading your about your travel problems, like you I travelled from Kuah, Langkawi to Lipe via the Thai mainland, however I got stuck overnight at Pak Bara. There is a ferry 4 times a week from Lipe Direct to Langkawi and back (1000b each, 1 way) The ferry is operated by Tigerline and leaves from one of the resorts on Sunrise Beach and arrives at the harbour near Pantai Kok on Langkawi |
| 1st April 2006 ying | brilliant! - From: Bangkok brilliant post..and was the ad for lucozade? |
| 22nd March 2006 chadder | Welcome home! - From: Home Dave, you truly are the man! Way to go! I love your adventurous spirit and am glad that you have made it back home. I wish we could do lunch. And Elly is going to want to hear all about your new girlfriend! |
| 17th March 2006 Eric | Here comes Dave - From: Home Welcome back! Count me in for lunch. Lets shoot for next week. |
| 16th March 2006 michelle | wow - From: Thailand tidbits... this was one of the most interesting things i've read on the web for a long time! i love that you even took the time to write this. |
| 13th March 2006 justin | - From: Bangkok Safe trip home mate. See you in Chiang Mai again soon! |
| 11th March 2006 Cousin Rob | - From: Bangkok Don't forget that upcoming trip up to Fresno! Safe trip back Dave! |
| 1st March 2006 Glenn | Great spot! - From: Long Beach, Ko Lanta David, Really enjoying your trip. Maybe we could take a collection for you to stay longer so we could continue our vicarious journey!! Your phtography continues to amaze me and gets better and better. Also noted no more sicky, yeah! I really like this location you are at now-modern but quaint-best of both. Keep in touch-Glenn ;->) |
| 24th February 2006 jonathan. | what up? - From: Trang was great to see you in the kingdom... thanks for making the time! enjoy the warmer weather, i got back home to east asia a few days back and it was (and still is) in the mid 30s... so much for that suntan. and class starts monday. neat. |
| 22nd February 2006 Glenn | High fever - From: recovering on Koh Lipe David, Sorry to hear you are not feeling well. Shame since it looks like you are in Shangri La! Watch that fever if it comes back, as it could be Malaria like I had. If so, get thee to a DR. Take care and get well-Glenn :-+ |
| 22nd February 2006 Barrett | bummer - From: recovering on Koh Lipe Dave, I'm sorry to hear that you are sick. I know how it feels to be sick on vacation; not fun. But i'll be praying for your recovery. -Barrett |
| 22nd February 2006 Eric | - From: recovering on Koh Lipe I was getting worried as there hadn't been an update in days. Glad your feeling better and hope you shake the bird flu, or in your case, the banana pancake flu. |
| 19th February 2006 Al Stevens | - From: $20 to enter Cambodia? I'm not sure I have it. i think its not because of BOA that your ATM card didnt work in Malaysia, instead it has to do with the new malaysian banking system that uses a "chip" not a magnetic strip. does your ATM card have a chip or magnetic strip? mine also didnt work in malaysia due to this change but it had worked on previous trips. |
| 18th February 2006 Fraz | chiang mai - From: Farewell Malaysia yo dave it be frazer! how you doing bud? im in chiang mai and i will eat a banana pancake. just got here so we'll see how it goes. ive heard ko lipe is great! really quiet and really laid back. have fun and maybe we'll run into eachother along our travels. |
| 16th February 2006 Glenn Isaacs | Pics - From: Farewell Malaysia Dave-your photography is really great. I can see why those folks wanted to see them. Very impressive and great to see the things you have seen. Really enjoying your travels!! Glenn :-> |
| 13th February 2006 John Grubaugh | I had a fun weekend of reading - From: Siem Reap... Dave, I finally found your blog and enjoyed getting caught up on your travels. Very jealous of the days of scuba diving (you should have joined our dive club at Westmont) and James Bond Island (The Man with the Golden Gun is my all time favorite). My prayers are with you. John |
| 12th February 2006 AboutAsia | Blog of the Moment at About - From: Exploring the temples of Angkor Hi Dave, You just became the "Blog of the Moment" at About Dot Com's Asia for Visitors page http://goasia.about.com Keep up the good blogging... Greg |
| 12th February 2006 Noi | Hello - From: Phuket Sawasdee ka I am happy that you have a very good trip in Thailand. Happy day for you na ka |
| 9th February 2006 Aunt Barb and Uncle Jim | - From: The City Centre of Singapore We love Singapore too. Had a SINGapore Sling at the Raffles hotel 16 years ago. Jim preached at 3 churches there and fell of the pulpit of one, got their attention though. Rained alot and was hot and muggy, but clean! The food was yummy! God bless your travels and keep you safe. Godspeed! |
| 8th February 2006 anonymous | - From: Things get messy... If anything happens to you we are holding BOA personally responsible. You here us BOA? |
| 7th February 2006 The guy from Oz :) | - From: Singapore Zoo/Night Safari Hey Dave - nice to hang out with you too - having someone to speak to outside of a work environment and to share the "enjoyment" of the blow-by-blow descriptive commentary was fun. Obviously you got to KL ok, hope you got to catch some of the superbowl. Best of luck with the rest of the this trip and the many more to come. Cheers! |
| 7th February 2006 NiN | Bencoolen Street... - From: In Singapore...what am I doing here? Hi Dave, Stumbled upon ur blog by chance.. and its funny to see u talking bout the places around ur lodging while in S'pore! this is cos my office is in Bencoolen Street and many a times i see lots of tourists walking ard this area... never expect to read one who talked bout this place online :P keep on writing... ur travel tales r great! ;) |
| 4th February 2006 Brian and Diane Pauls | Hi Dave - From: The City Centre of Singapore Dave, Great to hear the update from Singapore. We are in Hawaii reading your messages. What is in a Singapore Sling? I don't think they serve them in Oahu.:) Glad to hear the trip is going well. Love, Brian and DeeDee. |
| 2nd February 2006 Glenn | When's lunch? - From: I can cook Pad Thai You look like you are having WAY too much fun!! Hey, when are you cooking lunch??? Food looks great! Makes me want to go to Thailand again. Your camera/photography is doing really well! I think the Canon was a good choice!! Looking forward to more of your travels-Glenn :-> |
| 2nd February 2006 anonymous | - From: I can cook Pad Thai The food looks awesome, but I'm willing to bet you miss Chocolate Lucky Charms. |
| 2nd February 2006 Barrett | - From: I can cook Pad Thai I still cannot get over how cheap things are over there! It sounds like every minute of your day is always filled with something exciting. I am glad that God has been guiding your trip and that you have not have any major setbacks. Happy traveling :) - Barrett |
| 1st February 2006 Heather Marie | IJM - From: I can cook Pad Thai Would love to talk to you about IJM when you get back and see how we can help out! I have been doing a lot of research on this topic since I have returned from Thailand and would love to help the kids and women there! |
| 1st February 2006 Cindy Spady | Dinner - From: Chinese New Year in Chiang Mai Okay, when you get home you are so teaching me how too cook some Thai food! Your journals are inspiring, Dave! I am so happy for you! :) |
| 29th January 2006 Tamir | happy chinese new year to you too :-) - From: Chinatown hi Dave, it's great reading about your adventures. i am still in phuket, drinking beer on the beach. keep having fun! |
| 29th January 2006 sue h | awesome - From: Back to Bangkok |
| 27th January 2006 Heather Marie | Thon Krueng - From: Back to Bangkok Make sure you and Jonathan have our special drink! If you forget I'll have to send a photo of it from last year.... |
| 27th January 2006 deleted_11679 | just to tell - From: Where do I find an ear doctor? when you go to the international hospital ask for a doctor, dont ask for a ear doctor, the problem you had I had also some time ago. in this hospital there are always between 5 - 10 ++ doctors on site and every one of them can handle this, there is a different system here. There are a few more hospitals in phuket town but anyway you made the right choice. If you need some travel stuff go to the south services travel just beside the pearl hotel. they are working very good and ..very important.. they dont cheat !! because usually when a "farang" comes in by the door smiling and prices go up exponentially. if you want to have a beach for your own go to karon beach just south of patong beach, you will see a amazing difference within such a short distance, actually there are dozens of other beaches towards north and as further north you get the whiter the sand on the beach gets. if you like more have a look at www.thailandsouthern.com. beside of normal info you find a lot of photos and videos. |
| 26th January 2006 Barrett | Nice Pics - From: What, we're going in there???? Dave, the pictures you have been taking are awesome. I hope to see even more of them when you get back. Hope your ear is better :) I'm still prayin' for ya. -Barrett |
| 25th January 2006 Heather Marie | The Best Yet! - From: What, we're going in there???? This is the best yet! I would have LOVED to have been there! How awesome that you were able to do this! Ok, we need to have some more adventures out in California when you get back! Maybe white water rafting in the summer? |
| 25th January 2006 Jerry | Very Cool - From: What, we're going in there???? Maybe you could convice the guys at Volleyball Vacations to go there! Sounds like you're having a great time. Thanks for writing this all down! |
| 24th January 2006 jonathan. | nice... - From: Where do I find an ear doctor? dude, the thavorn! i stayed there 4 years ago on my second trip to thailand (on my first trip to koh phi phi). fun place... lots of character, eh? and by that i mean i remember the lobby being darkly lit and having a ton of wood molding / lots of thai paraphernalia hanging up everwhere. wonder if it's still like that. -- so, last day for me here before i head out to BKK tomorrow. (always fun to sit here and try to pack for a month...) keep equalizing that ear! |
| 23rd January 2006 Fucci | - From: Where do I find an ear doctor? Simply stated: You're my HERO!!! Looks like you are having a blast...keep up the good work!!! |

| 18th January 2006 Heather | Can't wait! - From: Scuba Diving can't wait to hear about the scuba diving adventure!!! makes me feel like i should be out there trying some new things too! i will have to start on that right away! Have a blast! |
| 16th January 2006 anonymous | love it - love it - love it - gram-mee - From: Khao Lak This is the best - we are right there with you. Just to give a clue, you know that we are into the food part of the trip. And that we are Trojan fans. Yes, we were there-it was great fun!

| 7th January 2006 Christina | excursion of a lifetime - From: It is done! I've found that it is extremely difficult to leave behind a secure job as well as a safe environment to take off traveling across the world, however, I've also found that my times abroad (although difficult and joyful at the same time)have given me the opportunity of a lifetime to see God at work in my life, to see His amazing creation, and to revel in the beauty around me. I quit my teaching job to teach overseas, and then decided to backpack through Europe! It was worth it! I hope that you have fabulous travels:) Christina |

| 1st December 2005 Mike | Congratulations I think - From: Notice has been given So where do you go from here? If this is your only job, you still must be a young person. |
