life in korat I went to korat to atend a funeral for the grandfather o one of my friend in thailand!
it was a long drive from krabi in south. it took about thirteen hours by car, which was very exciting considerig thai-style driving!
people in thailand use side mirrors only for decoration, so we were close to crashin a couple of times... luckily my friend the drver lives in thailand and is used to driving there!
but it was deffinetely worth it!
when we arrived in ko rat we staid in my friends cousins house. it wasnt big but they made room for everyone on matresses on the floor!
first thing we did was to go to the local temple and pay respect for the old man who just died! i had no xperiece with uddhism hat so ever but we were taken reakky good care of and the thre days we were there we spent the time in the temple, eating every meal there and attending the seremonies of the funeral!
we were almost treated like celebrities,everyone knew who we were (we were the only white people in town and sme of the children had never ieven seen a white person before) and everyone knew were we lived!
w could hear children ride their bikes pass our house while they yelled falang,falang!(tourist)
it was the best time i had in thailand and the strongest experience of m life!
i urge everyone to take a trip up to isan if theyre ever in thailand!
theyre rituals conserning funerals made a big impression on us all andif im ever to choose a religion buddism wouldbe it!
great place,great people,and also great scenery and culture!
Welcome back All the pictures are beautiful, hard to decide which one can be number one, but I like the Sunset in Phnom Penh very much.
ARe you back for good this time or are you planning going to another place soon?
Gracias por las fotos ... Nelly
Good Blog Hey, fellow Canadian here (Victoria), and I just got back from Thailand recently. Wanted to do some reminiscing and found your blog. Really brought back some good memories, and you write very well. I hope you enjoy being back.
Best Photo of the day Another shot in the water is #1 for me today, but there are a lot of favorites, so tomorrow, I might even pick another one.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you again for the lovely blog It is the first time I read these blogs with the author by my side, and it is exciting to read it, even after having it told by you together with seeing the pictures. You do have a very special way to describe your experiences. I love it, and I love you.
Thanks for being You.
The Mermaid The reason, you feel so happy underwater, is that in fact you are a true Mermaid. Beautiful,.... free spirit with imense sense of beauty, freedom and curiosity. Soon....you will be back on dry Land, but your spirit has changed with the Dives and Your silhouette will be swimming at Hin Daeng, spreading light to other divers, so that bottom at 34 mts, will be like a Canadian lawn in a Summer evening. Your Spirit, enriched the Thai waters and its inhabitants, where, even Barracudas are pretty and "gentle".
Way to go my Girl ! Go deeeeep always thru life, but...be careful with "narcosis" and witches that can take scales out of your shiny tail!
Sea U soon
Abracos e beijocas. Dqts

photos Hi Jessica,
I am glad that you are having fun over there. I really like your comments in the pictures. It makes me feel more familiar with your travel and the feelings that you have lived trough.
Take care, SM
Profs photographer! Thank you for charing all those fantastic pictures. We enjoy them a lot. It is a bit like be with you, you have such a nice way of taking them. Each and every one, is telling a lot. We will have to see them time after time, and next holiday have to be Ko Phi Phi.
Awesome! I so enjoyed this blog but I enjoy all of them - please, write that book and I'll be the first to buy it! Enjoy the beach - you deserve it!
I'll be waiting with baited breath.......till we all hear from you next!
Caramba !..... Ate' qu'enfim...chegaste ao Mar, de corais como teus olhos verdes,
sentada num'onda a descansar, com'uma sereia faz a's vezes.
Teu coracao ta' em Ko Phi Phi, tragicamente destruida por Tsunami cruel,mas certamente encontrara's ai', um teu amigo fiel !
Vai avante, vai menina...diz que vens de Portugal, qu'es prima de Vasco da Gama e vais plantar flores, para que um dia os Thai, nao sofrerem mais de dores. Vai avante,vai menina...com os tubaroes nadar, e depois do por do Sol, vai para a praia dancar. Vive a Vida que e' tua,no mar e tambem na rua,mas tua Alma protege, pois gente ha' que t'inveje !
Uma beijoca - Dqts
Water You are on the right place at the right time, maybe to many swedes.... But you will have fun and specially nice time on, in and by the water. I wish we were there with you. The Cambodia part, was very interesting to read, and that shows me similarities with the Carribean $$$ and dirt. Hope that Thailand is better!
Hello peeps!!
I thought I got the travel bug out of me apparently not! I’m back to touring the world but just for a month
I hope you’ll enjoy reading about my experiences in Thailand and Cambodia!
