When I first heard about Pai, I was a little skeptical to go. It's a small town 3-4 hours west of Chiang Mai on some very questionable roads. I heard there wasn't really a whole lot to do there, but then I also heard people who go there usually spend way longer than they originally planned for. It turns out both were true. We stayed at a place called Darling View Point and were supposed to be in a dorm, but when we showed up the owner "darling" loved Canadians so...

Since the travel from Koh Phangan to Phuket was such a grind, and our train from Bangkok to Surat Thani was equally bad or worse, we decided to fly from Phuket to Chiang Mai as we did the math and we only spent about 20 dollars more than if we would have taken the two full days to get there by bus and train. Our first day here we went to the Tiger Kingdom and got to sit with and lay with tigers for pictures, and then watch them play in the water and with eachothe...

We arrived in Phuket Town, Phuket on the 27th of January at about 1130 PM after a very long day of travel from Koh Phangan. We went nearly 41 hours without sleep since we partied through the night prior to this traveling (huge mistake). The next day after Phuket Town we took a local bus (essentially just a pickup truck with benches and walls and a roof) to a place called Patong. Patong is the busiest, most touristy place on Phuket from what I understand and after...

We arrived in Koh Phangan and quickly realized what we'd got ourselves into for the full moon party. The streets were already flooding with people and "bucket stands" where they'd sell you a Micky of booze, pop of your choice and a red bull for 150 baht (five dollars). There were literally hundreds of said bucket stands as well as a crazy amount of full moon party souvenir shops. We met up with my friend Logan from the mountain and one of his friends for the day ...

It is now our fourth day in Thailand and it has been a great four days. Our first night in Bangkok was spent at the Lub D hostel, the nicest one we've stayed in yet with the most other tourists. The next day we went to a couple of bangkok's biggest shopping malls and then took an hour and half tour through the canals that run through Bangkok, showing plenty of wats (temples) and traditional Thai homes along the canals, many of which were abandoned and collapsing ...
