Feb 19, 20 After taking a bus from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai, Miguel and I arrived in Chiang Khong.

Nice people, great […]

Pai, Thailand
Feb 14 – 17 After leaving Pun Pun and You Sabai, Miguel and our motorbike were both feeling sick, so we drove back to Chiang Mai to fix everyone all up. It turned out that our motorbike just needed to be on a different setting (not sure about the technical stuff…but it wasn’t sick) and […]

Mae Taeng, Pun Pun and You Sabai Organic Farms, Thailand

Surat Thani, Thailand
Feb 2 -3, Feb 7 After eating at our favorite vegetarian restaurant in Trang, Miguel and I piled into a minibus headed to Surat Thani.

A Few More Days in India
