Trip: S.E. Asia

There are [61] stories from my trip: S.E. Asia


One last Temple (in Thailand)

THAILAND | Wednesday, 16 Dec 2015 | Views [306]

We visited a number of temples (Wats) in Chiang Mai. You can’t go more than a block without running into a temple, a tourist, or street vendor with amazingly good food. (Ace accidentally wound up at Wat Phra Singh one night after telling her Tuk-... Read more >


Elephants, Durians and Monks, Chiang Mai!

THAILAND | Tuesday, 15 Dec 2015 | Views [424]

We’re at the airport after a week in Chiang Mai. CM was not without its highlights, after all, how many times in my life will I get to take a mud bath with an elephant?? (see photos). But the sad fact about Chiang Mai is, we spent around a week ... Read more >

Koh Lanta Moments

THAILAND | Tuesday, 8 Dec 2015 | Views [344]

Was Koh Lanta relaxing? yes! Was the water warm, calm and perfect for swimming? why yes! Was the sand white and powdery? yes, but more like beige. Was the water a transparent greenish sparkling turquoise just like on the postcards? no, not really, but ... Read more >

Starting on a tangent…

THAILAND | Friday, 4 Dec 2015 | Views [479]

but I’ll get to cooking eventually.    First let’s talk about the plane ride from Bali to Bangkok. Did you know that an advertised 3.5 hour flight could really be 4.5 hours with time change? Seems to me that Asia Air needs ... Read more >

Moving Right Along . . .

THAILAND | Friday, 4 Dec 2015 | Views [382]

Bangkok rocks. I could have stayed there at least a week. Its huge and has lots to do and see. It will all have to wait for another day though as we are at the airport en route to Koh Lanta, an island in the south.  We didnt meet many people ... Read more >

We like Bangkok so far!

THAILAND | Wednesday, 2 Dec 2015 | Views [353]

We've been here 4 hours and have spent most of it hiking around the city (very walkable) and eating whatever we please. So far we are pleasantly surprised, as we didnt quite know what to expect after the pit of environmental disaster otherwise known ... Read more >

Last Daze in Bali

INDONESIA | Tuesday, 1 Dec 2015 | Views [361]

Bali is done! The summary of Bali is, that we were at least 20 years too late getting there. I know that if I (someone who hardly ever reads fiction and even more seldomly reads popular contemporary fiction) read "Eat, Pray, Love", then 98% of the people ... Read more >

Finally getting off the tourist-trampled path

INDONESIA | Tuesday, 24 Nov 2015 | Views [375]

We're out of Ubud and up in the mountains at a not-nearly-as-luxurious hotel, but the good news is, we're finally in nature, which is what we do best. Today we got somewhat lost in a winding trail up and down and in and out of jungle and fields filled ... Read more >


More Love, More Yoga and a little self-reflection

INDONESIA | Saturday, 21 Nov 2015 | Views [375]

I had a teacher once who used to say, "The answer to every question or any problem is always, "More love, more yoga". We've taken 5 classes each (sampling different classes and different teachers). I finally found one that I like! Her name is Tanya Kaps ... Read more >


More on the good and bad of Ubud

INDONESIA | Saturday, 21 Nov 2015 | Views [396]

Ubud (pronounced ooh-bud) wasnt exactly what we'd imagined (thanks a lot Lonely Planet guide), but we're working with it.  The first afternoon when we got here we were appalled by the amount of traffic which consists of 90% motorbikes which seem ... Read more >


5 Mile Hike and lots of Yoga!

INDONESIA | Thursday, 19 Nov 2015 | Views [359]

Ace and I wake up early every morning. At first we were waking up at 2 or 3am, but today we slept in until 6! I think we're getting adjusted to the time change now. We went for an early walk through Ubud, past the morning market, past the water temple, ... Read more >

Volcano didn't stop us, we're here in Bali!

INDONESIA | Tuesday, 17 Nov 2015 | Views [344]

Hello from a day in the future (Monday in Oakland, Tuesday here in Bali). The flights over here were fantastic and on some of the biggest planes Ive ever seen (I guess to fly across the entire Pacific, they have to make it worthwhile). We had a layover ... Read more >
