Khaosan Road/Wat Pho – Last Day in Bangkok
If you stay in one place to long on Khason Road in Bangkok you will certainly miss something. Or possibly the actions may come to you. Khaosan is unique for a lot of reasons. Whether it is the cheap food and endless knock off product stalls, or the lady boys trying to get you to…
Khlong Lat Mayom Floating Market
The Khlong Lat Mayom Floating Market is a small market that is located about 15-20 kilometers from Khaosan Road. We opted to go there to get away from the more touristy floating markets. Well it turns on everything I read was true. There were only a handful of travelers passing and the rest of the crowd…
Ayutthaya – Checking Out Some Really Old Wats
Leaving the beach is hard. But onward to Bangkok and all the craziness that is associated with the city. Bangkok is a huge city and like any other city it has a few common characteristics: traffic, pollution, and a lot of people. Taking a cab through the city in the middle of the day was…
Deep Water Soloing – Ao Nang, Thailand
After paddling out to Poda Island and booking on deep water soloing day we were excited to get picked up by Tonsai Basecamp and get climbing.

Ao Nang – PADI Open Water Course – Scuba Diving
Our departure from Chiang Mai was exciting. Not because I didn’t enjoy my time there, but because the four of us would be starting our PADI Open Water SCUBA diving course! We arrived late in the evening and took a taxi from the airport into Ao Nang town. It was dark so we could not…
Wat Chedi Luang – A 600 Year-old Temple
Our final day before our departure to Ao Nang was spent walking to the airport (5km) and checking out Wat Chedi Luang. This temple is over 600 years old and a UNESCO site. If you only had one day in Chiang Mai and had to visit a single temple I would say this is the…
Wat Phra That Doi Suthep – Huai Kaeo Waterfall
To the West of Chiang Mai inside Doi Suthep Pui National Park is Wat Phra. We could see it from the plane on the way in. The plan was to go to the park and check out Wat Phra, go to the top of Doi Suthep mountain, and check out a waterfall. Getting into the…
