Escape from T-Land
To get out of Thailand, I flew to Bangkok from Phuket, stayed in Bangkok for a night, then the next steps were to fly to Singapore then Sydney. THAT SOUNDS SO EASY. If you haven't traveled independently before, and you...Read this update

Little ol' Ko Tao
After the Full Moon Party on Ko Phan-gan, we went to Ko Tao. It is the smallest of the 3 islands and the least developed. We rented a motorbike and cruised down the main road, and by main, I mean,...Read this update

Pitiful Patong (Men Are Pigs)
Well, I thought Bangkok sucked, but I realize now that at least Bangkok, for all the stink and pollution, had interesting things to see. It's my own fault for thinking Patong would be ok. The guidebook says, Yes, it is...Read this update
