The alarm clock ends a short night. But it was well worth the pleasant evening. Even a night out in this city is quite an experience. We booked a snorkeling excursion to Koh Larn Island off the coast of Pattaya. At 8:00 am we are standing in front of the…

After a long night of sleeping or catching up on sleep, we use the morning to search the internet for rental motorbikes for Pim and Rik. That is not easy because many companies only rent out scooters or do not have light motorcycles available for the 23 days that we want them.

My alarm goes off at 5.45 because in a few hours I will pick up my sons, Pim and Rik, from the airport in Bangkok. The 26 km taxi ride flies by in half an hour and soon I'm on the 'Arrival' floor waiting for my 2 familiar faces. It's been almost 7 months…

These are widely available in Thailand, always have their own parking space and are often even cheaper than a hotel room. The shortest route there…

I leave early again and enjoy the beautiful drive to Aonang Krabi beach. Just like Phuket, it is very touristy. My hotel is at the foot of a huge rock and about a kilometer from the beach. The first thing I do when I arrive is cool off in the pool….

I get up as soon as the sun rises. My hut does not have air conditioning, so I want to leave early while it is still reasonably cool. The owner of the cabin takes me and my packed motorcycle to another place to have breakfast. After the roti with dahl and iced coffee I drive…
