Coffee in Bangkok
Sometimes you get a coffee that makes you stop what you're doing because it's so good. You stop everything and just admire the cup for a moment and say something like: "that is one fine cup of coffee". If you're a coffee person, you know what I'm ta... |

Back to Bangkok
So I flew back into Bangkok overnight. While many things have changed over the last 2 months since I was last here (new apartment constructions underway, old favourite restaurants closed, a new hair trend of among Thai girls) I know from experience ... |

Diggnation Blocked in Thailand
What the? I can understand the reasons for blocking YouTube, but this is really inexplicable. Is there content on the current Diggnation that the military regime finds disagreeable? The message is just the standard one that comes up from ... |

Thailand Expat Tips
A few random tips I've picked up from organizing different things over the past couple of months: Phones If you want to make sure your pre-paid DTAC SIM doesn't expire while you're out of the country for a long period, switch it to the "Simple 2 ... |

Yep, that was a great idea.
With the benefit of hindsight, and 16 hours sleep, it appears that my trip to Aranya Prathet was not as good an idea as it first seemed. It would have been good, but as it turns out, most of the traders there are selling second hand clothing. Ther... |

I should probably just get some sleep but...
Yeah! It's 4:30 am, and I decided half-an-hour ago that instead of going to sleep, I'm gonna go and catch the 5:55 am train to Aranya Prathet. It seems to be the best idea I've ever had, and possibly the best idea in history, but I'm prepared to con... |

The Hotel Atlanta
The place where I'm staying in Bangkok deserves to have a travel log entry dedicated to it. While on the train trip from Hua Hin to Bangkok, I looked up accomodation in Bangkok in my guidebook. I was looking for somewhere fairly cheap, and figured... |

Hua Hin - it's tops
Hua Hin's great. It's not undiscovered by any means (let's face it, if it's got a 3 page write-up in Lonely Planet, it's pretty much discovered) but it's not a totally tourist-oriented place. Here you can actually see Thai people doing Thai things, ... |

Head Rock
At 3am, one of the train conductors woke me up from my comatose-like sleep that had lasted about 53 minutes. I had just enough time to stuff my laptop and books back into my bag, and put my shoes on before the night train stopped at Hua Hin station. ... |

More about Hat Rin
I'm sitting in the dining area on a Raja Co. Ltd. ferry that's due to depart any minute now to go from here in Thong Sala on Koh Phang Ngan back to Suratthani on the mainland. I just thought I'd write a bit more about Koh Phang Ngan, and Hat Rin. ... |

The Full Moon Party (For Real This Time)
It was a hot day, and a hot evening. Down at the beach, there were people everywhere. Imagine the crowd that streams onto the ground after a soccer match, then imagine that crowd is on the beach at night, and that there's dance music pouring from th... |

The Full Moon Party (Practice Run)
It's 6:53 am, and I'm back in my room now after spending the last several hours at the clubs on Hat Rin Nai. The Full Moon Party is not until tonight, but for the last couple of nights leading up to tonight, the clubs at Hat Rin Nai have been open al... |

First impressions of Koh Phang Ngan
I've made it to Koh Phang Ngan. The bus left Krabi at 11am, and after two bus rides, a two hour ferry ride, a songthaew trip from the port town of Thong Sala to Hat Rin, and a very long walk looking for accomodation, I'm finally sitting on a bed unde... |

Puut thai dai dii gwaa (Speak Thai can better)
My Thai is getting better. When I was in Phuket town I bought the first two books from a language course. They are excellent, because they teach the fundamental principles of the language at the same time as learning vocabulary and practicing conver... |

Back to Surat
I left Hat Railay yesterday and went back to Krabi town. I checked back into the City Hotel, where I spent my one night in Krabi about a week ago. After I'd checked in and cooled off for a while, I went for a walk and found a restaurant / Internet... |

Crouching Tiger Fish, Hidden Chicken Island
This morning, I checked out of my room at Hat Railay Village and moved to another resort called Ya Ya. It's further away from the beach, but is cheaper. After I switched accomodation, I shared the cost of chartering a longtail boat with a Danish guy... |
