Dear World Nomads, THANK YOU for the totally bitchin’ long sleeve T-Shirt!!! It’s REALLY cool!!! Made it back safely from Thailand a few days ago. It’s freezing here. I can’t smoke in the house anymore (my roommate’s trying to quit. She told me to smoke ... Read more >

Koh Tao

THAILAND | Tuesday, 29 May 2007 | Views [958]

Dear World Nomads, So like 30 years ago, some asshole tourist (I aint naming an nationalities) brought his dog with him to Koh Tao. Then, for shits and giggles, let it mate with tigers, wild boar, and no less than twelve different breeds of poisonous ... Read more >

Bangkok

THAILAND | Tuesday, 29 May 2007 | Views [938]

Dear World Nomads, Bumped into a street vender the other day. He had all the secrets of the universe written on a palm of his left hand in blue ink. He said he was a great teacher. He pointed to his name, “Willie”. But said I could call him Spiderman.... Read more >

Phuket

THAILAND | Tuesday, 29 May 2007 | Views [2245]

Dear World Nomads, Hi from Phuket. Staying in Phuket town. Love the buildings. At night, I venture over to Patong. What a crazy place. I know the difference between: bar, beer-bar, go-go bar, karaoke bar, night club and disco. My life is all the more ... Read more >

Koh Samui

THAILAND | Tuesday, 29 May 2007 | Views [1873]

Dear World Nomads, Koh Samui is everything I simply cherish about Bangkok all self contained on one island. That…smell is back. So are the polite motorcycle taxi drivers and the helpful Thai hookers. Sat ring side last night at a Muay Thai (kick-boxing-... Read more >

THAILAND | Tuesday, 29 May 2007 | Views [3095] | Comments [2]

Dear World Nomads, The Beach. The last stop on a day long snorkelling/island tour by long-tail boat. Everyone wanted to see this place, but no one would let on. Heads would turn at every bay. Is this it?!? Is that it?!? But no one spoke a word. No one ... Read more >

Dear World Nomads, Hi from Pai. Rented an elephant for a Jungle/River trek. Then rented a bike for a visit some Hill Tribes. If I don’t bike 20 km at home, why would I think I could do it on holiday ?!? Should’ve got the elephant for two more days. But ... Read more >

Death Railway

THAILAND | Tuesday, 29 May 2007 | Views [1794]

Dear World Nomads, Hi from the Death Railway, so before my trip I rented “Bridge on the River Kwai”. Thought it would make a good primer. Turns out the movie was pretty much made up. There was a bridge, a war, and brits, but that’s where the similarities ... Read more >

Ayutthaya

THAILAND | Tuesday, 29 May 2007 | Views [956]

Dear World Nomads, Hi from Ayutthaya. These ruins are amazing. Unfortunately their history is even worse than my American. The guides speak little English and the plaques are full of spelling and grammatical errors (like my postcards) . So I‘ve been  ... Read more >
