Nothing will settle me into a day of auto/train/plane travel than a hearty breakfast. And there was still time to squeeze in another stop in Atlanta.

On deciding I wanted to ride a roller coaster I headed an hour or so outside Bangkok to Siam Park City, escaping the streets of Bangkok and their non-stop ambushes of clay and water. I would be that weirdo you see at the amusement park riding alone with an undirected Read more…

After a good deal of time in Phuket Town, it was time to change home base. Being as far South as I’d get in Thailand, I headed North to Phang Nga Town. Phang Nga hosts a nice variety of attractions, the most famous being Khao Ping Kan, often referred to Read more…

After leaving the the bizarre temple’s grounds and embarking upon the dirt road path back to Bang Saen’s main road, I walked passed a pack of stray dogs basking in the hazy sun. Most ignored me but one of them must have read what I said in my previous post Read more…
