A trip traveling any Asian countries would not be complete without paying a visit to one or more of the fantastic temples, pagodas and other religious monuments that they contain. I have recently traveled Southeast Asia and marveled at The Batu Caves in Malaysia and some of the countries Buddhist monasteries. I have also wandered [...]
The story goes that the Full Moon Party started as a celebration amongst a large group of travellers of a friends birthday on the beach at Haad Rin on Koh Phangan. It was a great party and so travellers decided to return to relive the festivities and then spawned a party to celebrate every full [...]
There really is no such thing as a day off for the Knights of Columbus. The day was supposed to be a relaxing day off the bikes but it felt nothing like it! We started the day booking an overnight ferry to Ko Phangan and a bus to take us to Ranong later that day [...]
It has been a full week since the last blog and, putting it very mildly, it has been easily the busiest most action packed week of the cycle so far… I say cycle, for most of the last week we have been doing very little cycling. It has only been for the last two days [...]

We have only had to get onto the bikes one time in total over the past three days. I cannot tell you just how good that has been for what are quickly becoming old and tired leg muscles!!!
That being said, the one day of cycling that we did have to endure was a pretty tough [...]
