Alena & Anton's food and travel adventures
Autobus do Muang Khua trval jenom sedm hodin misto avizovanych osmi, slava! To se jen tak nestava, vetsinou je to naopak. I kdyz cesta byla o neco lepsi, nez na co jsme se psychicky pripravovali, meli jsme tech deravych klikatic uz plne zuby, takze jsme se rozhodli dalsi staci do Muang Ngoi absolvovat po vode. … Continue reading Vyhlidky a houpaci site
The bus to Muang Khua only took 7 hours instead of the advertised 8, lucky! In these parts of the world it's usually the other way round. Although the journey was better than we expected, we've had enough of windy roads full of potholes so to get to our next destination, Muang Ngoi, we decided … Continue reading Viewpoints and hammocks
"Slechteny banan chutna dobre, ale jeho kvet se neda jist, u divokeho bananu je to naopak, kvet se pouziva na vareni, ale ovoce ma moc pecek a potom to na zachode nedopada dobre", vysvetlovat Warth, zatimco my jsme prezvykovali jakesi listi. A uz jsme v tom zase. Sotva jsme se vzpamatovali z gibonu, upsali jsme … Continue reading Ratan k veceri
"You can eat plantation banana but not the flower, wild banana you eat the flower but not the fruit - too many seeds in the fruit and then happy room not so happy", Warth was explaining as we chewed on some leaf. We did it again. After 2 days of recovering post-Gibbons, we signed up … Continue reading Rattan for dinner
Taky jste jako mali snili o domku ve strome jak v americkem filmu? V narodnim parku Nam Ha na severu Laosu se detske sny stavaji skutecnosti. Ale vezmeme to pekne od zacatku. Prvni den rano jsme v kancelari spolecnosti Gibbon Experience podepsali papir, ze kdyz se prizabijeme, nebudeme se s firmou soudit, vyfasovali jsme lahev … Continue reading V korunach stromu
Well where do I start? The freebies; after a 15 minute instruction video we were treated to a metal water bottle each and a groovy Gibbon Experience cap.Then me and Alena boarded a songthaew loaded with burlap sacks of food and puttered off towards the Nam Ha National park. The Gibbon Experience in Huay Xai … Continue reading Raving Gibbons
Thajsko je uzasna zeme, jejiz kultura a tradice jsou, pochopitelne, jine, nez jake zname z domu. Nektere pro nas nezvykle odlisnosti jsme jiz zminili, jako napriklad ze v kine se pred zacatkem filmu slusi povstat na pocest pana krale (coz se mimochodem dela i ve skolach, na nekterych letistich, nadrazich a trzich, vzdy presne v … Continue reading Postrehy z Thajska
We've spent around 7 weeks in Thailand where the culture, habits and life style in general are obviously very different to what we know from back home, whether we're referring to the UK or Czech Republic (or Czechia or whatever you want to call it). We've already touched on a few things that are not … Continue reading Thailand – random facts and observations
Nase posledni destinace v Thajsku (alespon prozatim) bylo mesto Chiang Khong u reky Mekong, ktera tvori prirodni hranici s Laosem. Nebyli jsme si uplne jisti, kam zaradit nase ubytovani - na jednu stranu rezort s krasnou zahradou a bazenem, na druhou vsude kolem pobihaly slepice (do vody nastesti nelezly) a pokoj mel spolecne socialni zarizeni … Continue reading Pres most do Laosu
Our last destination in Thailand (for now) was Chiang Khong, a riverside town at the border crossing with Laos. We stayed at a place we didn't really know what to think about - it was a resort with a beautiful garden and swimming pool, at the same time there were loads of chickens running around … Continue reading Over the Friendship Bridge
