Taking a few days off from travelling and sightseeing to relax on this tropical island. Hooray for white sandy beaches, welcoming warm water and the sun rays on my skin.

Just North of Bangkok is the old temple city Ayutthaya. A direct train takes you to this place. For only 15 baht you sit 3rd class with the rest of the locals in a 2 hour train ride. The seats aren’t bad, but not comfortable either, but for that price you can’t complain. Just outside…

No, I’m not sick. I’m just preparing my med-kit. Apparently I need a whole bunch of pills and tubes when I want to travel. What have I gotten myself into? I guess you can better be prepared for the worst. So, what’s in the med-kit you say? A huge load of malaria pills. I’m actually…
Exactly one month from today I’m on a plane towards Bangkok. My original plan was to go to Asia for 4.5 months but I’m extending my stay to an undefined period of time; my guess is about 6 or 7 months. Now I have the time to include Indonesia and China as part of my…
