Mochit 2, Bangkok – The bitch among all bus terminals.
There are many bus terminals all over Thailand and even within Bangkok there are more than one. But there is only one bus terminal that can be described as crazy, weird, adventurous and / or dangerous. The bitch. Mochit 2. When you take the bus to Bangkok from the northern part of Thailand you are [...]

Chiang Mai – New Year’s Party & Mountain Camping
After suffering from food poisoning during last year’s new year’s eve in Chiang Mai I decided to give it another try and celebrate the start of 2012 in one of Thailand’s most beautiful cities again. This time I took the bus from Udon Thani to Chiang Mai on Friday night. Usually it should be a [...]

JaiDii House Chiang Mai
While celebrating New Year’s Eve and some camping action in Chiang Mai last week, I stayed in two different guesthouses. The second guesthouse I chose after coming back from the camping adventure was JaiDii House. This is a review. Location: Pretty cool again. Also right in the ‘hostel heart’ of Chiang Mai along the ‘Bar Road’ [...]

My Thai year Thailand 2011 a look back
My first complete year in Thailand comes to an end. Time to reflect, re-think, reconsider and review. Highlights, lowlights, learnings, earnings, disappointments. The good, the bad and the ugly of living a teaching life in Thailand. I divided this po…

Wat Pa Lak Roi – Korat (Nakhon Ratchasima)
One of the strangest stops during my one day trips from Udon Thani was definitely the stop at the famous Lak Roi Temple (Wat Pa Lak Roi). According to my students this is the place that shows the buddhist heaven and hell. My first thought, when leaving the bus, was actually that it looks more [...]
Phimai – Korat (Nakhon Ratchasima)
One more one day trip destination (from Udon Thani) was the historical park of Phimai in Nakhon Ratchasima (Korat). Phimai is quite close to Sai Ngam which makes it quite reasonable to add those two destination to the same trip. Nevertheless Phimai is quite different from Sai Ngam and many other temples or historical sights [...]
Sai Ngam – Korat (Nakhon Ratchasima)
Another destination of my one day trips from Udon Thani (despite Palio) was Sai Ngam. Also located in the province of Nakhon Ratchasima (Korat) it is a quite spiritual and naturally impressive place. It is located close to the famous sanctuary of Phimai and offers a quite interesting view and possibility to relax and catch your [...]
Palio – Korat (Nakhon Ratchasima)
During the last 2 weeks I went to some one way trips with different student groups. They had to plan and execute those tours as part of their tourism management studies here at the college. A great chance for me to see them in action and to see some more of the north-eastern part of [...]
Lanna Lanna dadada da dada
or what the heck is Lanna? When I first went to Chiang Mai I thought it might be a good idea to check out hostels beforehand. So I spent some time online and checked out the usual hostel comparison sites.While doing so I came across one special word over and over again. Lanna! Almost every [...]
