Temple watching and a fountain in the bathroom

Posted by admin On February - 24 - 2007

Chris and I watched a couple of temple today. In the evening we went for dinner and met a funny couple with them we went later on to the last place what was opened in Luang Prabang – the bowling bar. And who did I met – Jost, a friend of Andy, we didn’t see for at least 3 years. We hang out and went later to the Mekong. When we decided to go home i offered Jost to stay with us because it was to far for him. Chris was so drunk, it was 4:00am and somehow he broke the sink from the wall. The sink was completely destroyed and we had a big fountain at the bathroom. Was really embarrassing when the lady came and had to fix it at night. Read the rest of this entry »

Trekking and elephant ride

Posted by admin On February - 17 - 2007

In the morning at 8:00am we started the trekking tour at our guesthouse. First a car brought us to the elephant place were we could ride elephants for 1 hour. I asked if I could sit at the neck of my elephant. It was so much fun. When the elephants stopped for drinking they made us completely wet. After the ride we had lunch and then started the trekking. We walked about 2 1/2hours and slept at a Karen village. Read the rest of this entry »

Cobra show and Tiger temple

Posted by admin On February - 13 - 2007

Early in the morning at 6:00am we got up for doing our full day trip to Kanchanaburi. I did it mainly for doing photos with the tiger but it seems to be a very cool tour for only 300 baht!!! After my disaster in the beginning in Thailand I know now on what I have to look. First we went to the floating market. But this time we could stay 1,5h on the market. Enough time for doing little bargains. After that we did a cruise on the Mekong river. The boat bring us to the snake farm were we watched a cobra show. Was really interesting. The snakes were fighting with a mongoose and with men. Later I did a photo with a python. Jacob was a little bit scared but I liked it. At 1:00am we had lunch what was inclusive to the trip. Then we finally got to the “Tiger temple”. Actually there was no temple anyways. Its very touristy and basically the photos with the tiger is the best of it. Its not allowed to take the photos by yourself you have to give your camera to one of the guides. And of course shit happened – my camera was on the wrong program so all my photos were overexposed. So i had to do it again…And even when it was expensive I did also the special photo with the tiger, having its head in my lap, for 1000 baht. After leaving the tiger we went to the last stop of the trip the visit of the famous bridge over the river Kwai. Was nice but Jacob and me went shopping again and bought for extreme cheap money some nice statues. Read the rest of this entry »

Maya beach

Posted by admin On February - 9 - 2007

At 7:00am in the morning I met at the dive shop for my first dives since leaving Australia. I was really excited and hoped to see heaps of good stuff down there And right I saw a lot, for example a leopard shark, black tip reef sharks, a turtle, a blue spotted stingray, a cuttlefish and a school of squid. Around 2:00pm I was back and together with Jacob I took a water taxi to see Maya beach, the main location of the movie “The beach” with Leonardo Di Caprio. The beach was beautiful and the water so clear, I decided to snorkel. After snorkeling for a while on a certain point in the water I felt stitches like from a needle. So I went straight back (The next days I got a rush from that and people told me it could be that I swam directly into jelly fish which were destroyed in little parts by the fisher boats.) Next stop was Monkey beach but in the beginning there was no monkey to see. But I didn’t gave up and the monkeys cam and I got some good shots of them. Read the rest of this entry »

Ko Phi Phi

Posted by admin On February - 8 - 2007

Our ferry to Ko Phi Phi leaves at 10:00am and after breakfast a shuttle will bring us to the ferry port. We were surprised when we arrived because its very nice, clean and almost western. To Phi Phi it took us about 2hours. What a shock when we arrived, the accomodation over there is so expensive! We were happy to find a sort of luxuary place for 1800 baht a night. And that was cheap. Nevermind Phi Phi is beautiful and the water cristalclear. After chilling in the room for a bit I went straight to the next dive shop, Princess divers. All the prices are the same for dives at all the dive shops of Phi Phi. The guys here seem to be nice and responsible so I booked here. Jacob wanted to go but he still have to stay outside the water because of his fresh tatoo, but I told him that before. Read the rest of this entry »

Temple and Rip-Off

Posted by admin On January - 26 - 2007

So this is my first day in Bangkok and my first day in Asia anyway. I decided to visit some of the numerous temple and Buddhas. Later on the other German I met and I went to a governmental travel agency (T.A.T.) – big mistake! Its the first time when I became so conscious about the “two faces of the Thai”. I had a really nice and friendly girl offering me good advice. So I booked way to expensive 10 days on Ko Phagnan (cost 8500baht; around 1000baht are 21Euro). But I had no idea, it was my first time in Thailand and I just wanted to have my little bungalow with beach front waiting for me. If I had known by then what was awaiting me… I booked as well a halfday trip to the floating markets for 600baht, first she wanted 700baht. Of course she cheated me another time. I can just tell you I learned my lesson.

Feeding dolphins and watching dugongs

Posted by admin On December - 9 - 2006

In Denham I shared a room with Kim from Holland. We came along quite well and so we decided to go together today to Monkey Mia for feeding the wild dolphins. Monkey Mia is famous for its dolphins who come every morning for picking up some fish. I insisted to feed them and meanwhile Kim did the photo of me feeding the dolphins. After that we did a catamaran tour for 2 hours for seeing the rare dugong. Oh that tour was beautiful even it was a little chilly sometimes. As well we met Duncan and Dominic. They were british and had bought a van so after the catamaran trip we joined them on their drive to “Eagles Bluff” a nature reserve for watching the sharks from above.
