Hill tribe kids – 14th September 2007

Posted by Ben Heys on October 2, 2007 with 1 Comment

Despite being the last up the hill and possibly the sorest of the bunch, I was also the first one up the next morning. We were only due to leave at 11am but I got up with the roosters in the hopes of some nice sunrise pics (or close to sunrise). There wasn’t much happening pictorially though – it was rather overcast. Still I was up and so I took the opportunity to wander around the village a bit. After a while I headed back to our hut and spied JB up and about. We were still the only... Read More ››

Jungle Trek Days 2&3 – 14th & 15th September 2007

After the first day’s trekking I was ready for almost anything. Well at least I was trying to prepare myself for almost anything, I won’t quite say I was definitely READY for it. As it turned out though all was pretty cruisey after that first day. Seems the first day was such a killer because we had to trek UP the mountain. After that is was mostly some traversing about with a little up and down thrown in, but nothing like that first day. Which is good because if it had of been I might have been even more...

Overnight bus to Bangkok – 9th September

This was a fucking nightmare. First part was kinda far out as we were loaded into the back of a ute and SPED toward the bus depot. I capitalised the word sped becasue I have a feeling our driver is paid by the trip, not by the hour. Tyres were screeching around each and every corner and the brakes were locked up more than once. Couldn’t see much of what was going on as there was a canopy thing set up over us in the tray, this was probably a good thing. It all went downhill from there. Our... Read More ››

13th was the day we set out for our 3 day jungle trek. 10 of us crammed in the back of one of those ‘local busses’ that was really just a ute with a canopy on the back and a bench seat down either side. When JB and I got in there were two others already there. First up was the Canadian (NOT American!) Josh who was here because his travelling partners (3 girls – lucky bastard) decided to do cooking courses and he wanted something with a bit more spice. Then there was el presidente Jacob, I call...

Phuket Boat Trip – November 18th 2007

Thailand / Travel photography

Last Sunday saw me on one of the semi-regular boat trips organised by the couple who run the guest house I stay at in Phuket. It was a day somewhat like the island tour around Krabi only with slightly more spectacular surrounds but a dozen or so assorted folks (mostly those staying at the guesthouse) rather than Celine. All in all it was a top day, the highlight being the first island we saw which had an amazing amount of tropical fish hovering around the shallows. They didn’t even stir when you waded into them, they would completely surround... Read More ››
