From Chiang Dao to Tha Ton (video)
When Willem Elferink has to extend his visa, he makes a virtue of necessity. His visa run is also a trip to interesting sights in the North of Thailand.
From Khao Yai to business class
The line at the check-in counter at Suvarnabhumi in Bangkok is huge and when it's finally our turn something goes wrong in the computer system. We're pretty much the last one there, but whoever laughs last...
'We resisted her'
Oh, oh, how proud we are of ourselves. We resisted her. I mean the meddlesome/overly helpful lady from the Rainbow Hill Hotel. I wrote about her a few days ago.
On time in Ta Ko
“Dinner!” It's just past six thirty and we were supposed to have dinner at seven, but we have a feeling that the lady of the Rainbow Hill Hotel in Ban Ta Ko will not tolerate any contradiction.
Dick Koger travels to Cambodia
Forty years ago, along the lines of the well-known expression “first see Naples, then die”, I had two goals in mind. Only my goals did not include Naples. I saw this place early on. It concerned the pyramids in Egypt and the Angkor Wat.
Chiang Khan on the banks of the Mekong (video)
Some time ago my girlfriend and I made a tour through Isaan. Our goal on the first day was Kon Kaen, which is located in Isan, but gradually we changed our mind, turned to Loei at Lom Sak.
Submitted: Our Thailand adventure
Because it was an adventure. Supposedly, the goal was to have a memorable holiday with the five of us, Huib Wiets and the children (from Bussum). I think that worked out.
Two mountains with a Buddha
You know that feeling. Sometimes you have the irresistible urge to do nothing somewhere else. You need to get out. Because a Thai friend comes from Surin province with a car, it seems obvious to go that way. So I spend the Songkran days in Surin.
These images make the heart of every motorcyclist beat faster. Together with their GT bikes, these men discover the mountains and valleys of the Golden Triangle. They also visit the village of Ban Toed Thai, once the hiding place of the international drug lord Lord Khun Sa.
Cambodia casino
Is this article a recommendation to go to the casino? No, and if you still want to, go to another, more cozy building. The piece just wants to say that getting a re-entry visa takes ten minutes if you go to Immigration in the afternoon. And that you can import and export a car fairly easily, at least when you want to go to Cambodia.
Journey through Isaan (slot & video)
This is my continuation of my journey through the Isaan (first part was about Chiang Khan).
Weekend or few days Koh Larn
Away from Pattaya life. Sometimes it is nice to be in a different environment, even if it is only for a few days. Koh Larn is a wonderful trip for us.
Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai
We book an organized tour at a travel agency. With two more tourists we first go to the mountains north of ChiangRai, the Doi Maesalong. Here we are dropped in a concrete village with souvenir shops.
The all-seeing eye of the King
It is something we are not used to in the Netherlands. So much love for one person, King Bhumibol of Thailand. His portrait hangs everywhere and everyone is proud of him
How would it be with….
Lately I've been thinking back to the Thai I happened upon during one of my many photo expeditions through Thailand's capital. What has become of them after the terrible flood of the past few months…?
Gem of a video report tour Thailand
Many videos of tours in Thailand are posted on the Internet. It is often those jerky images that hardly make you any wiser. These are often extremely short, sometimes just a minute. But every now and then there are gems, like this one by Caroline Polm.
With the road bike through Thailand
This weekend we are going cycling in Thailand! And then not organized with a group of tourists along typical sights, which is also very nice, no we are going full throttle on the racing bike this time!
