Heading through south Thailand…one month later!

TweetWe started on time, not really knowing how far we’d get!  It always takes a couple of hours to get out of Bangkok…no matter how hard we try it’s just too confusing and trying to avoid the damn Motorway is a serious task!  Taking the highway is really no fun so we decided to take [...]

Comfort Zones

TweetBefore leaving Battambang we wanted to see the bamboo train.  Upon check-out the guest house we stayed at were so happy that we came, they gave both of us very pretty woven cotton scarves.  We were touched!  Getting to the bamboo train was an adventure, we felt lost among the villages and got all kinds [...]
