Travels in Thailand

Humanaughtahaironmyhead

So, spring is in the air in lovely Suzhou. Yes – our two weeks of paradise have arrived, and just in time for the droves of tourists looking to capture a picture of the city’s tranquil gardens (which are overflowing with tourists looking to capture a picture of the city’s tranquil gardens). Spring always stirs …

Travelversary, how I got where I am

So, that little bump in the road with the site being down marks my third year of running this blog. Well, technically I didn’t start writing on here until I arrived in China in January… but thehumanaught.com is technically three this week. Additionally, this week marks another anniversary of sorts. It was November 11, 2003, …

Road To Wedlock VIII: Thai’d The Knot Pt. 2

… continued from Part 1 Where were we? Right… Koh Chang – or rather, the journey there. I’ve travelled most the various forms of mass transit in Thailand, and when possible I’ve avoided the VIP tour bus solutions. I’m not entirely sure why, maybe because I heard packs were commonly rummaged through in the luggage …

Road To Wedlock VIII: Thai’d The Knot Pt. 1

It’s been over a month since we returned from our honeymoon in Thailand, but I’ve only just found the time (or rather the patience) to wade through the hundreds of photos I took and pick out the ones to put online (and to print for our little honeymoon photo album). So, without further adieu，here is …

A Note From Nong

Right, so I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned to any of you my friend Nong in Thailand. I met her in Chiang Mai when she introduced herself to me as my new Thai girlfriend. She’s quite funny. Anyway, despite being funny, and a bit in need of a boyfriend, she is also one of …

Tastily tongue Thai’d

With nearly all fun-in-the-sun guides touting the beauty and benefits of Thailand’s postcard shaming scenery south of Bangkok, it is no surprise that many visitors in their rush to the beaches absently neglect the benefits of Northern Thailand. Rumours of elephant treks, Hill Tribe villages, bamboo rafting and less humidity than sweaty Bangkok, a 10 …

A Thai Goodbye

Tee’s words, “Keep on the inside,” as an explanation of why Thai people are always smiling, even when things maybe arn’t so good is one of the many things that I will take away from my experience at Rieng’s home – and today, it is coming in handy, as it is hard to say goodbye …

Not to sound like a prick…

Hey… so right, not to sound like a jerk or anything, but I do go a bit out of my way to keep you all informed (and if you’re reading this, this means you) about my travels and I know that sometimes the tediousness of day-to-day life can get in the way of you considering …

Sing-A-Song: "Ang Thong"

PHOTOS I’ve just arrived back onto Koh Samui after six days, five nights, on the island of Wu Ta Lab in the Ang Thong National Park. What a blast! I left my main pack at the Seaview Guesthouse (it should be noted that I have neither the sea, a view, or a sea view), where …

Heavy Hearts Must Carry On

As Adi, Sharon and myself waved goodbye to Rafie, Beni and David this morning from the back of a Thong Sala bound Songtheaw was a bit sad. For a group of entire strangers that didn’t know each other from each other before a week ago, we managed to sew us up a nice little friendship. …

It’s Only A Flesh Wound

There is a serene calm that embraces you as you are flying through the air, destined in a few miliseconds to become quite intimate with the stoney pavement… it is very Zen-like, let me tell you. So I headed to the north end of Koh Pha Ngan about a day or two after the Full …
