Muay Thai Fighters
I did blog about Muay Thai training in Thailand in March 2008. Now, I’m finally getting all the pics online. Click here for full Flickr album.
She’s a Tiger… Growl
Ha! It’s been what… nearly a month since I’ve posted. Sorry bout that… Munich was a shock to the system. The air bit at my skin, sending shivers of chill that I had completely forgotten about in SE Asia. Wasn’t in March? What’s going on here? Everywhere I looked, it was mostly white people, people [...]
The LMAC Goes Ringside
I just made it to Phuket today… what a haul! On the overnight bus I met this cook chick, from, you guessed it… Australia. She was on her way to Phuket to go to Tiger Muay Thai, a Muay Thai boxing training camp. Can you guess what I’m doing now? Training for Muay Thai boxing!!! [...]
Regrouping in Bangkok
Not too much going on. I’m back in Bangkok just trying to get caught up on random things. I’ll be heading out in a day or two for the south of Thailand. I’ve been corresponding with old travel buddies. A lot of us seem to have migrated back to Thailand for some island action. Ran [...]
Bangkok to Angkor Wat
So suddenly on my own… but not really! The Kiwi, Carl, and the French guy, Franc, were off to New Zealand and were leaving the English guy, Russell, behind. So, Russell and I decided we would travel together for a while. We got back from the trek and Chiang Mai with all options before us. [...]
Prickly Elephant Hair… and Confronting That Big Prickly Elephant in the Room… or in the Stilted Hut Rather
Trekking started off with a bang. Ben and I piled into the back of this tiny, covered pick-up… squeezing in with 8 or 10 other trekkers (can’t remember how many of us squeezed in there really)… and we were off. While the pick-up bumbled out beyond the outskirts of Chiang Mai, Ben and I enjoyed [...]
Chugging Up to Chiang Mai
After a few days of chilling and prep and a few stories from travelers, Ben and I decided that the trekking we heard about in Chiang Mai in northern Thailand sounded fun. Elephants, mountain villages and bamboo rafting? Awesome! So, we took off for Chiang Mai in an overnight train. On the train we met [...]
Bewildered in Bangkok
I was going. Nothing was stopping me. But when I earnestly planted myself on that plane… that is, after I had to drop another $450 for a return flight home because they wouldn’t let me board the plane to Thailand without proof of a way of exiting the country… I couldn’t help but think, ‘What [...]
Cambodia
So… need to write more about the amazing jungle greens and deep blue skies and amazing waterfalls and elephant rides and bamboo rafting and white water rafting… all a part of the trek I did just outside of Chiang Mai, Thailand. Need to post pics too… But, first I’ll catch up on where I am [...]
Trading Bells and Chimes for Gongs and Bongs.
I need to get more pics up for this one… but this is a pic of Moritz, Peter and I. This Christmas market in Graz, Austria is bigger than the one in Saarbrucken, Germany. A little more ornate… more bells chiming… the same cozy, comfy feel of bringing the people together. That’s where I spent [...]
