October 29, 2004October 26, 2004Slowboat on the MekongUp at 6:30, showered and out for 7.

The heavens opened for about 10 minutes and everyones...Read this update Going to LaosWe had to arrange transport for Laos for the following day so we went to laughing, pregnant lady and she suggested the slow boat on the Mekong to Luang Prabang.

And then headed off to find 'Sgt. Maj. Thawee's Folk Museum'. The cost was surprisingly high (50 baht) to get in, but this museum wasn't government...Read this update Ghost Town ?7:30 and nothing is going on! I head up the street, no one around, people are still working in shops and the usual horde of mopeds. I walk around for half an hour and I still haven't seen another farang!...Read this update October 13, 2004Getting ThereMy last day in Chiang Mai I chilled. Uploaded some pictures, sent some postcards (any arrive yet?), worked out when the buses were. Couple of beers and a movie and an early night. Unfortunately a local bar had there 'open...Read this update October 10, 2004The decision, The Cockroach, and the BarbequeNot feeling 100% this morning (must have been the food). I got up and went to pick up my pictures. They aren't good but I headed to the internet and uploaded them anyway. I bumped into Darryl outside he sad...Read this update Doi Suthep and a Strange Night OutGot up early as I'd decided to try and do stuff today. First thng was to offload a couple of books and get hold of a new one at a local secondhand book stall. two-for-one and it still cost me...Read this update October 05, 2004Photo LinksBangkok - Khao San 210904-230904 Bangkok - Sukhomvit 240904-270904 Chiang Mai (35mm) 280904-061004 Doi Suthep 041004 Chiang Mai (digital) 280904-061004 Phitsanulok 071004 Bangkok 101004 Wat Pha Keo and Royal Palace Chiang Mai Again Chiang Mai One Day Trek...Read this update Lazy weekendSaturday, and feeling rather lethargic, so I settled down for a few hours with my book. I then went for lunch, wrote in my journal, read the Bamgkok Post and did the crossword. All whilst watching Popeye and Tom &...Read this update October 04, 2004A Quick Bout of DepressionFeeling very low this morning, had a thought about coming home. And it all started with a 'Battery Low' signal... I've brought a cheap Palm Pilot and loaded it with books to read. And as the manual stated, when I...Read this update October 02, 2004Inner city stuffI decided I'd see the sights of the inner city and finish off my first roll of film. I spent a few hours clicking away (at a very slow pace, I'm sure with time I'll be taking photos by the...Read this update A New PaceI was surpised to find that not many 'Farangs' got off the train (apparently they use the bus, not a comfortable but bloody cheap).
