The Thai do a lot of take out business from their food stalls, but we haven’t seen one plastic or styrofoam container yet. They use baggies. For everything. If you order a noodle soup, you get noodles in one bag, broth in another, and a third and fourth baggie with the spices and liquids you … Continue reading

Yesterday we woke up to the sunrise in our rickety bungalow on stilts at the Power Beach “Resort” on Phi Phi ready for a travel day. We took one last look at our hillside private beach abode and boarded the simple yet effective longtail boat taking us to the main pier. There we would catch … Continue reading

This weekend we had quite a few adventures. Saturday morning we moved from Relax Resort to Power Beach Resort. Both are on the same beach, so we did it barefoot in bathing suits. Then we spent the morning on the beach – the water here is so perfect. At 2pm, we decided to hike into … Continue reading

We took the route less traveled. It was at the guidance of our hotel owner, though she mostly just pointed up the hill saying “yes viewpoint, yes town”. There was a fork in the path and a sign contradicting the previous directions with “30 min” written in paint next to an arrow. Unfortunately we already … Continue reading

Totally unimpressed with Ao Nang, we made a quick decision Friday morning to skip town. We decided on Phi Phi as we have reservations on Koh Lanta starting Monday and wanted to try another island on the way. After a bus and ferry and longtail ride (and the requisite agency and phone calls and ticketing … Continue reading

We got up at 7am, per the usual, and headed down to get some coffee. The guest house, SK, was the least hospitable of our accommodations thus far. However we had just come from the Four Seasons and any place would have seemed inferior so it was probably appropriate to lower our expectations with this … Continue reading

We found the Upper Deck, a nice rooftop bar where we could relax under the stars while enjoying a Leo and a Sang Som. Some floating lanterns caught our attention and we noticed that Jupiter was directly over head. Then we were surprised by an unexpected firework show towards the river. None of which we would have been able to see had we stayed on the streets below.

Today we checked out of the Four Seasons to experience a little of downtown Chiang Mai. The FS is a good 40 mins outside town, and our trips in were so great we wanted to check it out a bit more. It’s definitely an expat town, and very easy and friendly. We toured some wats, … Continue reading

After the gym and a buffet breakfast, we hired a driver (thanks, Udom!) for a few hours to take us to some sites around the outskirts of Chiang Mai. First, we drove up a huge hill to Wat Phra That Doi Suthep – it is one of Northern Thailand’s most sacred temples. Legend has it … Continue reading
