Unabashed Tourists

THAILAND | Sunday, 24 Dec 2006 | Views [726] | Comments [2]

Here's a snapshot of how we have spent the past few days in Bangkok: We wake up early, sightsee all day, come home in the evening for rest time, and then go out and stuff our bellies full of delicious food before going to bed. Saturday was a transit ... Read more >

Bangkok = Crazy

THAILAND | Friday, 22 Dec 2006 | Views [743] | Comments [3]

The title for this post says it all. We've just transitioned from all these smaller little Thai towns to the equivalent of New York City. Whew. So far, tiring but enjoyable. We pulled into Bangkok after a relatively uneventful trip. However, things ... Read more >

Back in Bangkok

THAILAND | Thursday, 21 Dec 2006 | Views [666] | Comments [3]

Well, we have made it back to Bangkok. The journey today was relatively uneventful, except for the toilet on the bus. I guess we should be glad they even had one, since it was a 7+ hour ride...and it sure beat the shit-soaked one on the ferry ride, but ... Read more >

Sukhothai

THAILAND | Tuesday, 19 Dec 2006 | Views [521] | Comments [2]

We arrived in Sukhothai this afternoon. It was an interesting bus ride and we can't help but wonder why anyone who has ever driven a motor vehicle or riden in one in this country isn't dead. We were travelling at break-neck speeds on curvey mountain ... Read more >

Today (Dec. 18) is our last day in Chiang Mai. Tommorrow, we're off to Sukkothai to visit some temple ruins; it's about a five hour bus ride south. After about a day there, we're planning on riding the train back to Bangkok to finish off our trip. Before ... Read more >

Wats in Chiang Mai

THAILAND | Sunday, 17 Dec 2006 | Views [1151] | Comments [4]

Well. We've been so busy doing things in and around Chiang Mai that we have not had any time to post to our journal. So, here is a brief snapshot of one thing we've been doing a lot of. We've been visiting lots of wats. That's kind of a joke because ... Read more >

Dear everyone. Before we get to another post about our trip, we wanted to thank everyone who has posted comments to our journal. Sometimes traveling can feel a little lonely. It is so nice to know that people are following along with us as we go. Love ... Read more >

Goodbye Koh Phangan, Hello Chiang Mai

THAILAND | Friday, 15 Dec 2006 | Views [662] | Comments [1]

Hello from Chiang Mai. We arrived here late on the 14th after another whole day of traveling. Our journey off the island of Koh Phangan was much less eventful than our journey to get there. This time we were prepared for the stinks and the touts and ... Read more >

The Incident...

THAILAND | Tuesday, 12 Dec 2006 | Views [709] | Comments [8]

This is Adrian writing. I have a rather lengthy story to tell, and it involves the highs and lows that can come along with traveling. It may get a little woo-woo at times, but you're just going to have to deal with it. Before I start the story, I have ... Read more >

We have arrived!

THAILAND | Friday, 8 Dec 2006 | Views [423] | Comments [2]

We got into Bangkok last night (12/07) at 11:45pm. The flight was long and we were very loopy upon arrival. We then waited in a long line to get a taxi to the place where we had reservations. Slept great in a room with no window but fantastic ambiance.... Read more >
