I arrived in Pai yesterday by way of minibus from Chiang Mai. I got in around 3 pm, and began my search for a place to stay. This city, which is really a small town of 3000, is packed with Thai tourists. It was the setting of a Thai romantic film in 2006 and since… Read the rest »

Tribute to Same Same Guest House
The guest house i stayed at has been awesome, it is cheap, fun and in a great location. I spent a week here, and helped Robert, the guy who owns it, set up Wi-Fi and get some advertising out on signs about it. He treated me to a few free meals as payment, which was… Read the rest »
Revamp Progress
So close to being done with this revamp of the blog. Can’t get it to work quite right in Internet Explorer, so go ahead and download Firefox. It is better anyway. I worked on it during the day, when all you guys were asleep, but now it is late here, and mid-day there, so I… Read the rest »

Trekking and the end of that
Sometimes s*** happens. When Laura said she wanted to come with me to Everest, I was excited about the possibility. I encouraged her to meet me in Bangkok, but didn’t think that much more about it. I was a little worried about having a traveling companion because I had really enjoyed traveling by myself this… Read the rest »
Going trekking
Last post for 3 or 4 days. We are going trekking to ride elephants in the jungle!
Wat Doi Suthep
Today I rented a motorbike again and took off into the countryside again. Laura had to do some work this morning, so I went of by myself and made my way up into the mountains to Wat Doi Suthep, one of the largest temples around. It is on the side of a mountain, and overlooks… Read the rest »
