My old friend Bushman set an amazing 7 km trail out north of the airport (BKK), with loads of shiggy. Dashing along on rice paddies, and dodging trees, along with several water crossings, the pack of about 20 had an excellent day. Was good to be back after 30 months of exile in the COVID era. A quick but fun circle, was followed by an all expenses paid dinner, thanks Bushman. Great times in Bangkok.Read more

Day 24
Bangkok H3 Trail #2209
November 2, 2019 in Thailand ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
Getting lots of great exercise, and lots of rest, here in Thailand. Have been able to get in 14 trails and two big hikes over the past two and a half weeks. Last night was yet another interesting trail on the outskirts of the city. With the trip to Japan, that makes 18 hash trails in three weeks . . . time for a change of scenery, so it is off to Sri Lanka tomorrow.

It has been a little cooler here in Bangkok the past week since I returned, but turned up at the start of trail and the sun was just blazing. We had nearly 20 turn up for this 10 km shiggy trail out in the countryside (Tumbling Bill would have been proud). Just my opinion, but SE Asia has the best trails (although I do enjoy the German countryside, as well as Japan and Korea [that's NE Asia for those about to comment] 😊 ).

We had plenty of shiggy, scrambling along rice paddies, cattle pastures and farmer’s fields, and many a khlong path linking them altogether. A most excellent day on the hash. Circle was fun, followed by a fine sampling of local cuisine. All well and good, but Sunday is another day . . . and another hash. Let’s git’er done.Read more

Day 54 - Final Day at Salad Beach
February 1, 2022 in Thailand ⋅ ⛅ 32 °C
Our sleep patterns are now back to normal with no mysterious sweats. Sadly it was our last proper nights sleep. Tomorrow we would be back on the mainland by the time we got out of bed this morning.

We did a bit of packing, reserved our sun beds then toddled down the beach to Coral Beach restaurant for a final avocado & poached eggs on toast. I took a risk & went fried with french toast. It was a splendid breakfast to savour, washed down with iced lattes & coffee shakes.

Thanks to my mother, I have now discovered the joys (or addiction) of Wordle. It made a nice change to reading a book & I have so far played 48 games with a 100% success rate………..just saying!

Lunch was literally just a couple of Hong Thongs on the balcony, weaning ourselves off Chang!

The afternoon was more of the same until 5pm, when we reluctantly called it a day. We packed as much as we possibly could, showered & settled down to a couple of sundowners & watched one of our better sunsets.

We went back to our restaurant for our final meal. Pat & Joe were both still on duty so I forced them into having their photo taken for my blog, because this was to be the last day of our acquaintance. Pat asked us if she wanted her to give us a knock at 4am to make sure we were up & wouldn’t miss the taxi & ferry. We declined, but it was a nice offer, that or she wanted to see the back of us!

We ordered a beer & it felt like the absolutely perfect night to end our stay at Salad Beach. Twenty minutes later we ordered our dinner of a spicy Massaman curry & a pad Thai. Annoyingly, our dinner arrived nearly an hour later & it was just lukewarm. The Massaman curry was also too mild. We ate it, but moaned to Joe that it was too cold & he admitted that the cook had gone shopping for baby milk & the food had arrived by taxi from their other restaurant. The dishes cost just a couple of pound each & it seemed churlish to moan, but sadly it put a dampers on our final meal.

We had a couple of quick Hong Thongs & then it was to bed.

Day 15
"Die letzten Stationen"
September 11, 2017 in Thailand ⋅ ⛅ 32 °C
...ganz unter diesem Motto haben wir den Tag auch nach einem ausgiebigen Frühstück um 8.30h (WIR HABEN URLAUB-SO FRÜH STEH ICH NICH MAL AUF WENN ICH FRÜHDIENST HAB) begonnen.

Wer mich kennt weiss, dass ich Freizeitparks gern hab...Achterbahnen etc.
In und um Bangkok gibt es da so einige...wenn man sich aber die Bewertungen im Netz anschaut wird einem übel.
Die Fahrgeschäfte seien rostig, schmutzig und überteuert und ausserdem langweilig im Vergleich zudem was bei uns zu Hause geboten würde. Auch müssten wir uns als Touristen an andren Anstellschlangen anstellen und länger warten als Einheimische. Daher haben wir uns einen ganz besonderen Park ausgesucht-Wonderworld Extrempark-kostenloser Eintritt- ist das nicht toll?😄😄😄
Wir mussten nur die Taxifahrt dorthin bezahlen...

ER HATTE GESCHLOSSEN-seit 2011...🤣🤣🤣

...und wird wohl auch nie wieder seine Pforten öffnen.
Wir wussten das natürlich-auch wussten wir dass es eigentlich verboten ist ihn zu betreten....wir wissen aber auch dass es verboten ist bei rot auf der Strasse nicht weiterzufahren...oder dass man ohne Helm nicht Motorrad fahren darf. Intressiert das hier jemand?! NÖ!

Also auf in den Erlebnispark der an eine Folge "The Walking Dead" erinnert. Scheinbar waren 2011 Überschwemmungen dafür verantwortlich den Park dauerhaft zu schliessen und seither ist es eben ein Erlebnispark-Friedhof...mit 2 Menschen auf dem Gelände; eine die Pflanzenpflege betrieben hat...und eine hat uns mehrfach versucht davon zu überzeugen dass der Park "closed" hat.

4 mal innerhalb einer knappen Stunde hat mein freundliches Lächeln und ein zustimmendes "yes, we know" standgehalten um trotzdem das Gelände zu besichtigen und die toten Fahrgeschäfte zu besteigen...als sie uns dann aber mit dem Auto in Schrittgeschwindigkeit verfolgte und "Please go naauu" rief....öhmmm....gingen wir eben.
Als besonderes Dankeschön hat Vasiliki die offen stehende Pforte des Parks am Ende zugeschoben, so dass die Schrittgeschwindigkeitsautojägerin aus dem Auto steigen musste um danach mit Vollgas an uns vorbeizurauschen.

Hmmmpf....eigentlich wollten wir ja noch den Freefall-Tower testen...🤣🤣🤡🤡

...Teil 2 folgt sogleichRead more
