Bangbang Bangkok

Time's up again...visa run!

From the serenity of Laos to the concrete intensity of Asia's busiest city - Bangkok. It's been 5 years since my last visit and the streets are as colorful and crowded as ever. Bangkok is a beautiful, clean and bustling metropolis full of gorgeous glittering temples, monuments, impressive palaces, exotic foods, clean streets and orderly traffic...it's big and it's noisy, polluted and packed to the gills with backpackers.

Luckily, I landed directly on the soft cushions of Tu's Thai oasis. Another lucky find all those years ago, Tu's place is a sanctuary of calm. He's opened his house to travellers and hippies since 1988 when he was a travelling hippy himself following the trail to America and back...

Now the house is full or instruments, history, stories of The Grateful Dead, Jerry Lewis and other amazing artists, sitar playing, percussionistas, Rainbow kids, tailors, healers and artists..it's a wonderful place to recover and get back into the tie dye and inspired! I love Tu and there is always something happening in the house..

After Bangkok I'll be going to the city of Chiang Mai for a few days in the mountains..I've always wanted to go :)

So here I go!
