Our month in Thailand passed far too quickly for us, but before we leave Thailand’s posts for good, we need to reflect on some of the charming, disturbing and quite funny characteristics that make that country as wonderful as it is.
Interesting Thai facts:
Though lovely and charming people, the Thais have absolutely no concept of space [...]
Just before we left Aristi and James and after the adventures of trekking in Chiang Mai’s jungles I decided to go see someone about the pain in my chest.
I sought the advice of a local medicine man who specializes in detox massages and a variety of other holistic healing practices. I entered his little studio [...]
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. [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
