Australian Lady’s Thai Holiday, Turns into a Nightmare. Thailand.

An Australian lady is making news here in Thailand and also back on Australian shores.
Apparently the mother of 4 was a little drunk and the victim of a prank played by friends.
She was in the resort town of Phuket, at the well known Aussie Bar. When she was away from her bag a friend placed [...]

Bangkok’s Floating Market

Although it’s known as Bangkok’s floating market the Damnoen Saduak floating market is actually about 100 kilometers Southwest of Bangkok in Ratchaburi Province . If, like me, you’ve seen many pictures of people selling many colorful fruits and vegetables on the open waters of the canals then this has been on your list to see [...]

Raindrops Keep Falling

Wonderful Wi and myself woke up to the sound of raindrops falling outside once more. The morning followed a similar pattern to the first day, midday the rain stopped and the sky started to look brighter.
We were off to Jomtien beach and left the Marin Place with Wilai talking about coconut milk, fried chicken [...]

The lucky fish at Wat Bankrang

You may think that Thailand is a fisherman’s paradise, being that the country is blessed with hundreds of inland streams and rivers, and huge expanses of coastline which face out onto several different oceans.
In fact, Thailand can also be a very frustrating place for fishing fans, as we found out when family came to visit [...]

Thailand: Week in Review (8)

As Thailand swelters in the heat and humidity of the hot season and any self respecting Westerner turns the air conditioning up a couple of degrees life in rural Prachuap Khiri Khan continues unabated. While in Bangkok despite the weather the politicians seem to have cooled down and started to concentrate on governing the [...]

Wat Tham Singkhon

Wat Tham Singkhon (วัดถ้ำสิงขร) is an ancient temple in Surat Thani Province, in Khiri Rat Nikhom district directly at the Phum Duang river. I had found it listed as one of the attractions of the province, but since all which I could find was in Thai I didn’t know much of what would be waiting [...]

Wat Arun

On my first trip to Bangkok back in 2006 I spent half a day at Wat Arun taking pictures only to find out later that my camera had broken and only a few pictures were able to be salvaged. I finally made it back to Wat Arun this past April and luckily the camera held [...]

Huay Yang Waterfall National Park Thailand

Huay Yang Waterfall National Park is located at km 350 on Highway 4, Thailand. Some 25 km South of the provincial capital Prachuap Khiri Khan. There are several waterfalls in the park but the best in my opinion is the nine tier falls at Huay Yang.
Yesterday MTF, Doy and I headed to the waterfall, [...]

Songkran Cancelled in Bangkok

This is really not the blog that I wanted to write today. In the early hours of morning, Thai soldiers were on the streets of Bangkok trying to clear red shirt protesters who were blocking many of the intersections. Shots were fired and tear gas cannisters discharged. The red shirt protesters are claiming six people [...]
