Tik’s been the one studying hard for the past few weeks and I’d been meaning to treat her to a home-cooked meal for some time now. I got a little excited when we visited Villa Supermarket that they had fresh imported aubergines for sale.
I’ve long craved the taste of a well-made stuffed aubergine dish […]

After Tik and I got engaged last March we got 30 professional photographs taken in a wedding studio in Khon Kaen.
The photos were of myself, Tik’s parents and her two sisters.
I have added about 9 of these photos to my gallery today and will add some more later this week when I get the time […]

If you are using RSS links for this site please update them if they are not working.  I have moved files around within the site and the old RSS configuration no longer works.

After 4 and a half years of faithful service I am reluctantly throwing away my original bolster.
Tik convinced me that it is well beyond redemption and does not look good next to our perfectly white alternatives.

It may well take another 4 and a half years to wear in the new replacement. I’m going to […]

We were not especially to wake up at 6:30 but we wanted to get today’s travels out of the way and get back to Bangkok as early as possible.
As we waited outside for our minibus Tik got to sample a (presumably) typical Cambodian hotdog for 1,000 riel (10 baht).  This was our main experience of […]

After such an exhausting day we woke up about 10:30. We literally had nothing planned for the day. Tik suggested that perhaps we rent some bikes and cycle around the town but as soon as we stepped into the heat and dust of the street both of us pretended to have forgotten completely […]

We were met by our driver outside our guesthouse at 4:30.
Our tour guide was called Liv and he was an experienced guide with a clear American accent and a great vocabulary. He’s worked as a tour guide for five years and was very knowledgable about every question we could fire at him.
We began at […]

I woke about 4:00 today after getting to bed only a couple of hours earlier. Tik, rather sensibly had a few hours more rest than me although neither of us had made much progress packing before the alarm woke us up.
We travelled light, with only a 5 litre backpack between us. This trip […]

Tik and I are getting organized for a few days in Siam Reap, Cambodia to visit Angkor Wat. We had a few options to consider when organizing it all but we’ve decided to have some fun as backpackers and to brave the big bad world without laptops, room service and concierges.
We’ll be back Sunday […]

Sorry for the long delay and with the hastiness of writing the last updates.
Our web designers who were responsible for upgrading the site went way over schedule and there are still a few loose ends still needing to be tied up.
I have taken some time to re-arrange the photo gallery although it still needs a […]
