Trekkies in Thailand - Part 2 of 3

After reuniting with our old travel pals, Aristi and James, we all decided to join a group headed north to go Eco-Trekking.
This was organized by the wonderful folks at the Libra Guesthouse (where we ate all our meals). We met up with our Trek Mates at 9 am. There were 10 of us in total. [...]

MAI-OH-MAI! Post 1 of 3

I am so sorry that it has taken us so long to post photos and notes to the blog. Both of us have been a under the weather, so each day after exploring the beautiful city of Chiang Mai we just hit the sack- blogging seemed too taxing……
Jay has had a nasty cold since the [...]

Easy Flying

Jay & I caught a flight from Bangkok to Chiang Mai this morning.  We had an option of taking a 13 hour train ride to this northern city or a 1 hour plane ride- the difference was only $50US, so we opted for the flight.
-Before I continue, let me inform you that the choice of [...]

Muay Thai

A quick post while eva has a facial.  Last night we went to the famous RAJADAMNERN Thai boxing stadium.  We got to see 7 fights.
 The fights start with 14 year old 100 pounders and works its way up.  We were lucky enough to see the Muay Thai 130 Lb champion of Thailand fight.  It was [...]

Temples and The Grand Palace of Bangkok

Yesterday Jay and I spent most of our morning touring through Bangkok, we saw the world’s largest jewelry store and then we sampled some of Bangkok’s 35,000 temples until we finally ended with the Grand Palace and Temple in the core of the city.  We traveled to too many temples to write about each one [...]

The calm before the storm…

Jay told you a bit about the Sanctuary and Bangkok in his last two posts, but i wanted to give you my thoughts and update you thus far on our journey.
 
Its hard to put into words just how peaceful and relaxing the Sanctuary was.  We did not really take photos because we were too lazy to [...]

Jair House Lock!!

We are now in Bangkok.  It has been the Thai new year festival called Songkram. Which is an excuse for the whole country to go craxy and have a 3 days baby powder and water fight.  To put it mildly - absolute mayhem.  It would take us an hour and a change of clothes to [...]

Jack Talk Thai

We are still in Thailand - sorry we have gone MIA for a while.  we found an amazing beach resort/yoga health retreat in Ko Pha-Ngan its called the Sanctuary.  It is to say the least - insanely relaxing.
We are in a bungalow made of bamboo up in the hills.  we have our own out house [...]

Our last day in Khao Lak….

It’s been decided, not by me, that tomorrow we will leave Khao Lak and I’m quite sad.
It’s pouring rain at the moment and still this place maintains its beauty.
 
Today we met James and Aristi for breakfast at a local bakery- afterwards we took our bikes on a ride through the mountain road in search of [...]

Rebuilding…

It feels like its been ages since I posted last, but in actuality it has only been 7 days. Jay and I have experienced so much in this little amount of time that it feels like a month’s worth of typing would barely catch you up to date. 
Currently Jay and I are sitting in an [...]
