October was another busy month and I still haven’t posted our vacation photos from Pattaya or Chiang Mai, but I’ll get around to it soon (right after we move back into our Vancouver apartment, I buy a new computer, and finish catching up on work). Anyway, over the last few weeks we’ve been busy […]

Well September has been a busy month for Fiona and I, but we are almost through it.  Last weekend our landlords kindly invited us to spend the weekend with them in a beautiful company condo on the beach in Pattaya.  We have a few interesting photos from that trip that I will add to our […]

We’re back and had a wonderful trip to the islands in the gulf of Thailand and the west coast of Thailand. The first set of photos is of our time in Koh Tao, Koh Samui, and Angthong National Marine Park.

At last, Fiona and I get to share somewhat of a significant vacation together.  This is the trip we have been looking forward to while in Thailand.  Tonight we leave on a train to Chumphon, and will then take a ferry to the island of Ko Tao which is supposedly a diver’s paradise.  From there […]

Every now and then we get to thinking about all the things that people who spend two weeks in Thailand have seen that we haven’t. Like the Reclining Buddha of Wat Pho, or the (in)famous Khao San Road. So we decided to head on over to the area most popular with tourists and check it […]

Today Fiona and I decided to check out Lumphini Park, which is the largest park in Bangkok and is only about 3.5km from our apartment. We took the subway 2 stops which brought us to the main entrance of the park, next to the large King Rama VI statue. It […]

Fiona and I had heard several rumors of ice rinks existing in Bangkok. Each of us longing for a skate and some exercise, we decided to check one of the more easily accessible rinks out. After a short trip on the subway followed by a 5 minute taxi, we found the rink […]

While Fiona’s parents were in Thailand we all went to visit some friends of theirs who are teaching in an international school near Pattaya. Pictures are here.
Now Pattaya has a bit of a reputation but don’t get the wrong idea - even though it was Mike’s 30th birthday while we were there […]

Pat, Scott, Fiona and Mike caught a taxi with an entertaining driver this morning to see one of Bangkok’s must see attractions, Wat Phra Kaew or the Grand Palace, also home to the Emerald Buddha. The admission included passes to the National Treasures museam which was full of historical rgalia, royal decorations and […]
