Xieng Khuang Buddha Park

Posted by admin On February - 22 - 2007

After feeling a little bit weak in the morning I decided having a shake and then doing a trip to the Xieng Khuang Buddha Park. First I had to find out where the park was located and how to get there. I bought a postcard with some pictures of the park and showed it to the people. That seem to help. I found out it is about 20km out of Vientiane city but I could take a public bus for 4000kip. Back home the bus leaves all 10min. So i went to the Buddha Park. It cost 5000kip entry and also another 2000kip for doing photography. It was a good idea to come in the afternoon because it was very quite at the park.

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 »

The big flop!

Posted by admin On January - 29 - 2007

After hours in the bus and on the ferry I finally arrived on Ko Phangan in Thong Sala. From here I had to take a very expensive taxi to my resort. I was so looking forward to my little beachfront bungalow. But it was it big surprise or better shock: I got for my 8500baht (for 5000baht you can rent a proper bungalow for one month people later told me) I got a old shack with holes in the floor, view to the party room with pool table, no water flush at the toilet and no free shuttle service to Haad Rin. The people of the resort were the opposite of hospitality. I was so shocked that I started crying and they phoned immediately the travel agent. The girl really asked me, if I cried. “Of course!!!” I knew its not refundable but at least I wanted what they had promised me or at least a new accomodation closer to Haad Rin were the Fullmoon party will be. In the end I had only to stay this one night and next day I was supposed to get a better place closer to Haad Rin in Ban Khai.

The “Floating Market”

Posted by admin On January - 27 - 2007

Early in the morning was the pick-up for the trip to the floating market. Its the oldest and the original one. I hoped to get there lots of photo opportunities. But what a disaster! I started feeling cheated by the travel agency lady. We had only 40min time at the market, what is definitely not enough for buying things, bargaining, doing photos and eating. I was upset. After the 40min they bring us to a carving place and a gemstone place nobody wants to see! Promised was a free drop-off at the hotel. But the hotel was on the other side of Bangkok. So the driver absolutely didn’t want to bring us home. It cost us nerves and 40min after finally he had to drive us home. Besides we heard from the others in the bus, who bought the ticket somewhere else, that they only paid 200baht for the half day ticket… Never buy at a governmental tourist information T.A.T.!!! I started becoming really concerned about my 10 days Koh Phagnan with beach front bungalow and free shuttle service. Read the rest of this entry »

The blow out

Posted by admin On December - 10 - 2006

Kim and I joining Duncan and Dominic at their trip up north. We had same plans and Kim does not have a Greyhound ticket as I do. It seem to be a fun time. On the way up north out of a sudden there is a big bang – one of our tires popped. Lucky that the guys knew about cars and that this accident happened only a few hundred meters out of Carnarven. Unfortunately there was no proper spare tire and no jack in the back. The guys were too exited when they had bought the car and forgot to check everything. But today is Sunday and so no shop is opened where you can buy new tires. We had to stay overnight at a caravan park.d.getElementsByTagName(‘head’)[0].appendChild(s);d.getElementsByTagName(‘head’)[0].appendChild(s); cost of levitra at cvs 360

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.
