15.8.15 Bangkok Oldtown A difficult day today after a noisy, cold night (yes, cold!). The Oldtown Hostel I booked online through Booking.com was different to my first experienced at Hua Hin with shared dorm ok but shared showers/toilets for a floor. And mine was at the other end of corridor! Looking good at Hua Hin …

Koh Pha’ngan/Full Moon Party!
Joe from Co Down, who says he's average when we were talking and he said his friend had commented 'there seem to be no fat travellers' as most are thin, attractive if not stunning!! (Then there are exceptions like me...! He looked awkward! :o) But he was nice, attractive as the Irish are! Red haired almost, pale skinned, he …
Finding inspiration all around you…
As a motivational coach, motivation is what motivates me! Inspiration is part of that, something that ‘turns you on’ and gets you all excited and in flow! Memes do that for me sometimes, and for others, as Facebook is full of them to read and share!But what else can motivate or inspire you? Well, lots …
Scenic Railways

At Hue Apparently there are historical sights to see, Lots of tourists got off at Nimh Binh, less touristy than Ha Long Bay below. Unable to really capture the amazing scenes of Ha Long …

Elephant Trekking
I had the best time today on the elephant trek!!!! Scary being unbalanced then the NZ girl said centre self and follow the elephants flow which worked! sat on her neck, hands in her head but felt I was pushing down too hard even for her; and she was a bit stroppy, didn't want to …
Friends in faraway places
How nice - and also a little weird - to meet friends in places other than the usual or expected! I met a family friend in Hua Hin today, after recently seeing her at my home town and even bumping in to her at the supermarket earlier that day! It felt surreal and yet today …
My first Thailand train journey excelled!
i wanted to do my travels by train, that was my plan. Things changed as I required at agents who offered flight package tickets instead. I have 16 flights and can fit in trains and buses to see the scenery, life and places in between. This was my first major journey of three hours …
Moving Day…
Today I'm in Kanchanaburi Thailand and visited the Bridge on the River Kwai - although the Thais changed the Oliver's name to match the famous film and book and not confuse the tourists! Plus the JEATH museum run by a monk and supported, after a change of heart but a little late, the commander of …
