Mae Hong Son, the capital of a northern Thai province of the same name, is a small town surrounded by mountains on all sides. That inevitably means more windy roads to get there (sigh). We stayed at a place called Like View Guesthouse. It's situated right by a lake in the middle of town and … Continue reading Mae Hong Son
Oblasti Pang Ung, kde se nachazi jezero obklopene vysokymi borovicemi, se prezdiva Thajske Svycarsko. Je oblibene predevsim mezi mistnimi, obzvlaste o vikendu, a tak kdyz jsme se tam vydali v utery, navstevniku bylo velmi pomalu. Idealni.

The area around Pang Ung in Northwest Thailand is referred to as the "Thai Switzerland" because of the scenery full of tall pine trees surrounding a lake. It's frequented by locals mainly, especially on the weekends, so when we set off to go there on a Tuesday we were pretty much guaranteed the place would … Continue reading Do not fry the porky in Switzerland
Cesta spojujici Chiang Mai a Pai vede pres hory, trva 3,5 hodiny a ma udajne 762 zatacek (nepocitala jsem), na mape vypada jako obri had.

Nadopovana Kinedrylem jsem to nejak prezila a nastesti nepouzite sacky … Continue reading Pai – stenatka a hippiesaci
The journey from Chiang Mai to Pai leads mostly through mountains, it takes 3.5 hours and it has 762 turns. If you look at a map the road looks like a ginormous snake monster.

Pri nedavne navsteve Hongkongu jsme se vydali na jednodenni vylet do Macao, zvlastni administrativni oblasti na jihu Ciny. Jeste pred 20 lety spadalo Macao pod Portugalsko, coz dalo za vznik zajimave smesi kultur, kde domy zdobene portugalskymi kachlickami s cinskymi napisy nejsou nic zvlastniho. Vliv nekolika ruznych zemi je patricny i v mistni kuchyni. Na … Continue reading Asijske Las Vegas
Hong Thong je vyborny thajsky napoj, neco mezi whiskey a rumem. Taky se to rymuje s nazvem mesta Hongkong, kam jsme na tyden zavitali, abychom si odpocinuli od horka a hlahla protoze nas kamarad Stew tam vyrostl a zrovna byl po Vanocich doma, tak jsme za nim jeli na navstevu. Pridal se k nam jeste … Continue reading Hong Thong
