After a long long day at Mo Chit Bus Station in Bangkok my night bus finally took me to the east. Next stop Udon Thani where Nong will pick me up to drive me to Kut Chap to meet her and her friends again. Morning at the Udon Thani Bus Station My hotel room in…
The last gray and cold day of 2015 in the afternoon I boarded an ICE to Frankfurt main station. There the tram to Römer and from there it is only a few more steps to Alexandra’s place. We did spend the last evening with food and wine. Walked down to the Main river a few…
A bit more than 4 months – over! Just like that – gone. So it was time to pack the bag again and take the mini bus to Bangkok for the last few days. Good Bye Sweety! Mitsos did arrive at the same day and since he can do nothing alone I had to go…
I had only one day left and wanted to see the monkeys in Prachuap Khiri Khan. So i got up early before it got to hot and walked down the beach and towards the temple mountain. The last few fishing boats come in from last night work. The pier in the morning sun. No clue…
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 more than 2 years Moritz found his final resting place today. Some of you might remember that he died in Pai. Than he traveled down to Bangkok – further towards Laos. Than Phonekham came over from Vientiane and they burned the body in a temple. Phonekham took him to Vientiane and there he waited…
The few days in Bangkok were gone like nothing. Since we went to bed late every night I did sleep long every morning. After breakfast – usually at the little Vegetarian place over the klong – it was back into the comfort of the air con room. And in the evening out on the street…
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 Nong visited me in Vientiane I stopped over on the way to Bangkok in Kut Chap. She did pick me up in Udon Thani and then we drove to the village. Kut Chap (Thai: à¸à¸¸à¸”จับ) is a small village with about 9000 people some 24 kilometer outside of Udon Thani. Looks like everybody know…
So you want to travel from Vientiane to Udon Thani or Bangkok? You can do it easily and get a bus from one of the travel agents. To Udon Thani they asked 60.000 Kip in March 2015. No clue why that is so expensive. At the bus station in Vientiane, a ticket to Udon Thani…
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…
