South by Southeast: Motorcycle Thailand {Gadling}
Dec 12th 2009 11:06AM It sounds like you're having an amazing adventure! I wish I had the guts to venture out that for on a motorbike. I usually ride them in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai but haven't really gotten out of the city. The furthest I went was just outside of Chiang Rai to see the beautiful White Temple. http://tikikiki.com/category/things-to-do/page/3/ If you make it out to Chiang Rai this is one attraction you don't want to miss, it's not your average temple, and it's one of the most stunning things I've ever seen! The article on tikikiki has a link to a youtube video if you wann check it out without making the journey to Thailand:)
Just make sure you don't get ripped off when you rent your motorbike! There are alot of scam artists that prey on foreigners... http://tikikiki.com/2009/11/easy-rider-thai-style/
Dim Sum Dialogues in Thailand: Ko Samui {Gadling}
Dec 6th 2009 6:02AM I was in Phuket about three weeks ago and it was just as I remembered, loud, and crazy. I think that anyone going down south should plan to stay in Phuket for a couple of days. Although Samui is the obvious choice over Phuket, it is still worth going and checking out the madness that is Patong for a couple of nights. If anything it will just make you appreciate the beauty that is Samui a little bit more. Samui is great beacuse it has the perfect balance of party and relaxation. You can stay at beautiful resorts (some with private beaches), lounge on the beach or by the pool all day, then head to the clubs at Chewang beach. The only down side is that I've noticed over the past three years the cost of a taxi or songtaw has gone up darastically. Make sure you barter the price they give you, but even when you do the price still ends up seeming less than fair. See, there are so many tourists in Samui now that a lot of taxi drivers won't even bother giving you a fair price because they now that five minutes later an inexperienced traveller will be curbside, ready to part with their cash, not thinking to ask for a lower price.
