South Thailand: Krabi
December 24, 2009 By 28 Comments
Krabi Thailand, one of the most relaxing places on the planet. Stunning scenery, fantastic white sand beaches, a coastline with over 200 islands and a jungle covered interior revealing towering limestone cliffs, caves, waterfalls and exotic wildlife.. this was totally where I wanted to park myself for the New Year count down, I merrily told [...]

A quickie, street-side Songkhla breakfast of rice porridge(congee) with condiments and mini fried bread sticks(yu tiao) before continuing eastwards to Satun via Haadyai.

In the Yala Province, there is a concentration of military roadblocks to police the civil unrest. We read about roadblocks being attacked but never noticed anything amiss. Every roadblock we stopped at, was met with a smile and a wave from a trooper.. and really young, handsome ones, at that! We got in late to [...]

Betong Part 2: South Thailand and the Redlight Schwing…
May 22, 2009 By 8 Comments
Speaking of red light schwing… What hairdo shall I employ before my “big night out”? Hmmm let me see.. If I intend to drink a lake’s worth of booze, I should try the ‘pond lane stagger’ , If I end up plastered, face down in the ground, I should try the ‘ferment mud’, and finally, [...]
Betong Part 1: Warfare, Sex, Drugs, Rock & Roll?
May 19, 2009 By 13 Comments
A small town with a rich past, decent food, lots of swallows (swallows of the feathered-bird kind that is.. ahem! ) and for want of a better word, a redlight schwing! With swallows perched on cables above us ( it’s amazing how none of the droppings hit people.. maybe it’s just pigeons, magpies and crows [...]

Instead of spending a horrendous amount of money, as a result of last minute year-end holiday planning, we decided on a road trip to South Thailand to satisfy our nosy snouts, our food cravings, our need for culture-exchange and play time!

There’s nothing as yummie as Thai food in Thailand rite? Well, not only does Bangkok do amazing Thai.. it also does SPECTACULAR Vietnamese and Japanese and etc.. etc.. too. It must boil down to the freshness of the raw materials that they use, that is so readily available in Thailand. Introducing LE DALAT. Soi 23 [...]
