Earlier this year I visited Thailand for an exceptionally brief 3 week backpacking adventure. Having spent many years as a poor undergraduate and Masters student and working badly paid jobs to fund these academic indulgences, I’d never really had the time or money to travel. I got to a point where none of the work my agency was sending my way was promising to develop into a permanent role and the work was drying up so I just decided to pack up my things and go (quite literally). Thailand is…
Bet you’re glad you weren’t the passenger who found a snake coiled on a baggage cart!
Koh Kood, or Koh Kut, was for me an unknown island, and I was excited to experience it. The island is fairly large, actually the 4th largest in Thailand, and is situated in the eastern part, just a short boat ride from Trat.
While in Phuket, one year after the devastating tsunami, I saw several of these on the different beaches along the west coast of the island.
No, it’s not a joke. Christian Leblanc visited an elephant sanctuary in Thailand a couple of months ago, fed the elephants bananas, and found the elephant grabbing his Go-Pro camera, which was set on time lapse.

Bangkok is a city of waterways. Modern skyscrapers, beautiful homes alongside shanties, and Buddhist temples share the water view with colorful water birds and the water monitors, lizards that grows to be 10 feet long.
We arrived at Koh Phangan, famous for its parties, right after the infamous Full Moon party. Backpackers were leaving while we still had to discover the party island.
