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…
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…
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…
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…
A few pictures from the khlong next to my guest house towards the khlong boat that goes to Pratunam.

After too many years i was back in the Philippines again. I am not really sure why i did not visit for that long. Guess it is the extra flight that you have to take but that was the case with Myanmar as well and i went there many times? Off to Manila As usually…
A trip to Bangkok is not complete without shopping in Chinatown. I take the boat down to the “Chinatown Pier” N5 or Ratchawongse. This makes the trip a bit more fun as there are lots of things to see on the way to Chinatown. It is a great way to enjoy Bangkok if you take…
So you have been to Bangkok a few times and you think you did see it all. And than you find something that is so Bangkok you could not dream it up yourself. At the corner of the Bang Lam Phu Intersection only a few blocks away from Khao San Road are the ruins of…
Did get a ticket to Trat in Thailand straight from Otres Beach in Cambodia. So it comes with pick up at the “hotel” and goes all the way to Trat bus station. Now the next morning i had to be out at 6 in the morning – that is not really my time of the…
Did wake up a few minutes after 5 in the morning – a few minutes before the iPhone would wake me up with Soul Finger. Outside – Bangkok is still sleeping. At last where my guest house is – next to the river in the old part of Bangkok. A Quick shower and final “Pack…
