Prachuap Khiri Khan is a small quiet beach town down south of Hua Hin. I did spend there about two weeks at the end of my winter trip in 2014/2015. Stayed at Maggies Homestay and it comes with a garden and open-air kitchen. There were a few nice people we had some beer, conversations, and…
After Nong picked me up at the bus station in Udon Thani we went for some vegetarian food and then to her village. Since that is not a place where tourists go the guesthouse situation is not really good. One “homestay” far away from everything did start at 600 bath. A bit over my budget….
Since I wanted to meet friends in Vientiane Friday night i had to get down there. Took the VIP bus for 50.000 with a pick up in town. That worked quite good and the best thing was that the bus did stop opposite the Mixay Hotel. That was the hotel where I wanted to stay…
A few days in Luang Prabang before I took a minibus down to Vang Vieng. 60 years Lao People’s Revolutionary Party! After that looong day on the boat I was happy to arrive in Luang Prabang. Took me about 30 minutes to find a room. The guy wanted 50.000 kip but when I turned away…

There you go!! There was a time when Khao San Road was 24/7 party. Do you remember when people had a plane at 4 in the morning or at 8? So they had the last beer with the guys that came into Bangkok International with a plane at 2 or so in the morning. Some…
Last summer, Ru came back to Stuttgart and stayed at my place. It was the second time for her, and she liked it. She told me that she would open a hostel on Ko Pha Ngan or Koh Phangan so I said I visit her on the island when I get to Thailand. I never…
