Kratie & Ko Treung


Kratie is a town the central Cambodia, Most people just come here to see the dolphins. One of the most interesting things I found in the town was this sign.


The whole town is right along the river which makes for really nice sunsets.


All along the river there are little restaurant like things that all sell the same exact thing.

Once day I got the ferry across the river to the island which cost me 1000 riel ($0.25) with a bunch of local people. The island is a sort of eco tourism project where you could do homestays but i didnt get a chance.


Once on the island I rented a bike for $1 and there was a path that went all the way around the island. I bought a bunch of rambuttan and a loaf of bread that I munched on all day


There is a nice beach/sand dune thing all the way around the island which I left my bike and walked on for a while.


In the centre there is a whole bunch of farmland and animals grazing.



It was a nice windy day which made the rice growing look really cool, hard to capture in a picture but I still tried. 

There were a whole bunch of floating houses on one side so the island seemed to have pretty much everything anyone on the island could need.

You can see the town of Kratie here.


In the dunes there were a bunch of pools where the tide water had collected.

Bali - Ubud and Kuta

Bali is beautiful I wish that we could have spent more time there but we ended up getting stuck on gili. To make up we spent 3 nights in a place called Ubud and did a day tour where we saw soooo much. We saw a traditional Balinese dancing. it was really cool cause there was no instruments. The men who were seated all around chanted and made a whole bunch of different sounds it sounded like there was music coming from all around you. They also made the setting by changing how they were sitting and moving around. at one point they turned into a snake that was transformed from an arrow that was shot by the evil king. afterword there was a man who was dressed as a horse danced around on burning coconut husks. i didnt really understand the reasoning but it was impressive all the same. We went to a bunch of different temples which were all very intricate. Harvested some rice with some old ladies who tried to charge me for it after. The s...

Cameron Highlands - tea, tea plantations, clouds, tea leaves, some more tea

I decided my next stop would be the Cameron Highlands which is in central peninsular Malaysia. The elevation there is a lot higher so it was nice to cool down a little but from the heat that I have been used to every where else. One of the main attractions is the tea plantations. From here you can buy a cup of tea and watch them from the balcony harvesting the tea leaves and throwing them in a basket on their back. Some very nice views. You can also go walk among the tea fields where we tried cutting some leaves. Very nice balcony at the cafe. The other thing that people do is go to the look out point which is at the tallest mountain in Malaysia (so all the signs said) When we got there we discovered that it was super foggy so we couldn't really see much.   And here are some clouds that I thought were interesting enough at the time to take a picture of. On the way back to town we found ourselves becoming extras in a Mal...

Pai - Updated with pictures

I like Pai. (pronounced "bpai", say the b and the p together) Its a quiet little town, not very big, which is good cause I seem to get lost here a lot. It's a really interesting dynamic here. Everyone is super chill. all the locals just mozy around or hangout at their shops. There are lots of westerners (hippies) that seem to have just moved here. And then there are the tourists. Only the good ones though, none of the people who are just in Thailand to party (everyone in Bangkok). About every other store/stand that you see here is a T-shirt shop. They all have various shirts saying things like "Love is Pai" and "762 turns to Pai". Basically everything here celebrates that you made it to and are in Pai. All the restaurants and guesthouses have "Pai" in their name. "Pai Country" "Pai Love" "Pai Cabana". its really fun and everyone here jokes around. There's all the cheap hostels in the city but then in...
