There is nothing much to tell about Khanom or show what I have not told or shown on my recent trip to Khanom. On the first day (monday) I assembled my bike and was really happy that it worked well. I visited my Khanom friends and they were all really happy to see me. I was invited for lunch and dinner and really happy to be here. It was a really happy day. :D Today I also bought a table and finally established my office. What was a nightmare though, is what happened to my bicycle. I had a flat tire the very first day (I had only 2 in 3 months last time). I repaired that and had another flat tire only 2 days later. I repaired that too and started to work on my ... read more

So some days ago I met with my fellow travellers, Mohamed, an Egyptian (they do not walk in any special style by the way :D) and Alex, a "Zuagroasta" and suddenly overthought our route from Chiang Mai to Koh Chang over Bangkok. Instead we will head directly East from Chiang Mai to Udon Thani. That means right through some (apparently very cold) mountains with very few possibilities for accomodation into the poorest part of Thailand - Isan.

From there we will take a train to Ayuttayah and then Pattaya, from Pattaya we plan to continue with the bicycles along the sea to Koh ... read more

Welcome back readers... A new winter is closing in, the temperatures are dropping and dropping and dropping. Time to leave. Again, I will be heading to Thailand. This time I am flying Emirates! I am leaving on the 8th of November for 90 days exactly. At first I will stay some weeks in Khanom, then I will meet with 2 more guys in Bangkok around the 30th November. We plan to go to Chiang Mai by train and then cycle our way down to Koh Chang. I have never been to the north of Thailand before, so I will be happily taking recommendations for sleeping and sightseeing. More in the next days and weeks...... read more

I have decided to go home. I guess it is inevitable at some time anyway. I am taking a night bus to Bangkok tonight, transporting the bicycle in the bus - in parts. I will fly back on the 6.3. to Munich and hopefully continue to Mallorca soon. Looking forward to see you all.... read more

This Center is a nursery for sea turtles. The eggs are taken from the sand and bread (though that happens somewhere else). Then the small tea turtles are raised until they are let free in march into the sea. The nursery also takes care of many injured sea turtles. It can be visited daily for free and although the Center itself is only concrete and water, the turtles have touched me deeply. Enjoy the Videos and many Pictures at the very bottom of this page. ... read more
