It's been a while since I've been near a PC in the last week, so lots of updates are to follow! (Internet is hard to find in the jungle and on tropical Islands... ;)) I'm having issues with my photobucket site at the moment, so check back in a day ... Read more >

I went back to the Orangutan center in the afternoon, to see if I could get some more nice pictures, and maybe catch a glimpse of the dominant male from this jungle. It turned out to be a good move as more Orangutans arrived for feeding today and also ... Read more >

Last night I went for a wander around the old town and found a great place to eat opposite ThaPae Gate in the centre. My taste buds are getting better at spicy now and I enjoyed Beef fried with garlic and pepper, over steamed rice with lots of chilli ... Read more >

After a late night thanks to the three live bands in the street bars directly behind the hostel (and my rear window doesn't shut completely), I got up fairly early to eat breakfast and set off to the zoo outside the city. I made my own toast and coffee ... Read more >

Ok, this afternoon I called the Qantas office in Singapore. The Bangkok office has got a hideous automated system in Thai, which even my mate in the internet cafe in Kanchanaburi couldn't figure out! The Singapore office has an Aussie helpdesk... sweet! ... Read more >
