My fourth holiday in Thailand
Our Thailand round trip: My fourth holiday report is about our Thailand tour of the Land of Smiles. It goes to the north of Thailand`s Chiang Mai, the temples and sightseeing.
In addition, it goes to the island of Koh Chang, because a storm moved to Koh Phangan. Learn more about our adventures and day trips on the island. Celebrating New Year’s Eve in Thailand and on islands, how is that and should you do it yourself?
Learn why we had to cancel the Thailand round trip to Koh Samui and Koh Phangan. Our adventure continues on the island of Koh Chang with a cool scooter sightseeing tour and a great snorkeling trip.
In this travelogue and in my next you will learn why I act so demotivated and dejected on my travel videos.
Arrival to Bangkok and onward journey to Pattaya My arrival to Bangkok, from Germany, went with a nonstop Thai Airways flight. After baggage claim at the Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok (BKK), turn right, down a conveyor belt, to the first floor. There are, as indicated above, the buses and taxis. Once you arrive at the bottom of the conveyor with the conveyor belt, turn left and walk down the aisle to Exit 8. Before you get to Exit 8 at Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok, the ticket office for your bus…
Living on a Thailand tour in a house in Thailand Since I live with my girlfriend in Thailand, everything is a little different than in a hotel. If you are renting an apartment or a house in Thailand for a long vacation or a nice big villa with pool for several months, you have to cater for yourself. In the morning I went to the mini lotus next door to buy water, breakfast and coffee. Then we planned our trips and decided to go shopping in Central Festival. The Central…
Pattaya railway station, laundry facilities in Pattaya After I had rested at noon the next day, I took care of the day planning and the drive to Pattaya railway station. My girlfriend washed our clothes at home. For those who do not have their own washing machine and do not want to wash their clothes by hand, there are smaller launderettes in almost every street where you can wash your clothes for a few baht. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon we went by scooter to the tavern on Naklua…
Our Thailand round trip from Bangkok to Chiang Mai Today we made our suitcase for the trip from Bangkok to Chiang Mai. For lunch we cooked only rice and ate some fried eggs.

Afterwards we have some sweets, something to nibble and drinks bought on the way. In the afternoon at 16:20 o'clock we have a scooter driver to the bus station in Pattaya Naklua, for each…
Doi Suthep Mountain, Bhuping Palace, Hmong Village & Wat Phrathat Temple A very nice destination is the Doi Suthep in Chiang Mai. At breakfast we met again on the other couple with whom we also exchanged our numbers. They booked yesterday's Songthaew driver today's tour in the Doi Suthep National Park. There are four temples to visit today on Doi Suthep Mountain, and one of them requires long clothing. In winter it is very fresh and windy in Chiang Mai. On the way to our first temple on the mountain…
Long neck village Chiang Mai & visit of the Namtok Mae Sa waterfall Today we went on another adventure day trip in the jungle to the long neck village of Chiang Mai. Around 8:20 am we drove north to the Elephant Camp for 1 hour and 20 minutes. At the Elephant Camp there is an ATM machine, for those who do not have enough money. The half-day tour, elephant show, elephant ride, ox-coach ride, bamboo rafting rafting and lunch cost 1,600baht per person. Although it is around 40 €, but…
