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. Apart from a “Boutique Hotel” that someone had to put there it still feels like small-town Thailand. Almost no car noise and everything happens in slow motion.

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…
