My ferry was at 9:30am and I couldn’t get out of that bungalow fast enough. It was quite an experience to say the least. I turned my motor scooter in to the rental agency and strolled to the dock. The ferry ride to Surat Thani was smooth and uneventful. It was the first real A/C...

Today I decided that I needed to be adventurous and try a new bungalow down the beach. After packing up and checking out by 10am I wondered over and booked a bungalow for the night. I must have been romanticizing the meager accommodations, because after paying the rate I realized what a utter dump this place was....
When I first arrived to Koh Tao, I was not impressed and missed my open middle island paradise. This island felt more cramped. But, once fate directed me to my sunset point I really realized the meaning of the “Land of Smiles” that Thailand is famous for. The locals operating my new bungalow were all...
Today was my last day on Koh Phangan. I will be leaving with a smile on my face knowing that this island will always live in my heart as a special place. Pure paradise. After checkout, I hung by the pool using the WiFi before my taxi took me to the ferry where I was...
Today was my last day on Koh Phangan. I hit the reef near Koh Mah and if my GoPro battery was not dead I would have amazing reef pics to show. But no matter, it was pretty cool. After a decent breakfast I headed as far as the northern roads would take me. I followed...
Just me and my trusty little scooter today. A morning swim and a late breakfast/early lunch at a place called Mama Pooh’s Kitchen. I originally noticed this place on the first day scooter taxi ride to the bungalow I ended up at. The sign said, “Cheap price & very tasty”. Sounds good to me. I...
Hello Koh Phangan! This place is everything i expected and way way more. For the first time in my life I have found a place that I resonate with, a place I feel more at home then any other place I have traveled in the world. I know its only been a couple days, but...
I had been trying to determine the best mode of getting down to the south beaches. Train, bus or plane? Each had it’s pros…and cons. The bus option leaves at 7:30pm and takes 12 hours to the ferry and then another 4hours on the ferry. Ugh. The train offers a sleeper car and basically had...
Apparently Bangkok does not sleep either. I think it was 5am when my taxi dropped me off. Even though the bars are “supposed” to close by 1am – they just use it as a suggestion. In fact, I still have yet to see a police presence cracking down on, well, anything. I have a feeling...
