Xhale Yoga Retreat – a life changing experience. [30% completed]
When Dennis told me he wanted to do either a yoga retreat or a meditation retreat, I wasn’t sure I was actually keen to do it. I was scared I would be surrounded by people who are experienced, who might judge me, who might be patronising and therefore it would ruin my experience. Still, I […]
Chiang Rai, thanks for the memories.
I wrote the following post last week on our way to Pai, just forgot to post it. Luckily this gave me the ability to add some pictures. Enjoy 🙂 With my mind on Chiang Rai and the Chat House, I have to say its the first time I am a little sad to be on […]
Xhale Yoga retreat: Lessons of Awareness
Unless you’re a highly enlightened Yogi, when you sign up to a Yoga retreat you will have certain expectations even though you may have no idea what the retreat will encompass. You might think: “Yeah! Let’s learn some stretchy poses and yogic breathing for part of the day and then find something cool to do […]
Pai – A very opinionated guide to where to eat and what to do.
We were advised to go to Pai by some of our friends and many travellers we bumped into on the road. And indeed, it is worth going, but let me tell you a few things before you get unrealistic expectations. A while ago, Pai was a paradise for backpackers, mainly because of the ‘easy’ access […]
It all started with a bamboo cooking class…
The awesome thing about our guesthouse (Chat House) is that you constantly meet people and live incredible experiences. It is apparently the longest running guesthouse in Chiang Rai, and their tours and treks are amazing, simply because the guides are actually from the villages around, and they know what they are talking about. The food […]
Chiang Rai, The Jungle is my favourite place on Earth.
When you consider my origins, it is fair to assume that my body isn’t really laid out for extreme weather conditions. The jungle of northern Thailand however, Â in combination with all cotton clothes I feel very good. Maybe it is the sheer number of trees and the shade they provide. Maybe it’s just the right […]
Sightseeing day around Chiang Rai
We met Caz and Dave at the Chat House (our guesthouse in Chiang Rai) and got along with them straight away. By we I mean Dennis because I was lying in bed dying the previous night. Anyway! So we decided to go, on the 24th of October – in case you are lost in our […]
Chiang Rai trip and a bad shrimp.
We woke up early in the morning as we had to check out at 10am from the guesthouse, had breakfast and grabbed a songthaew to the bus station. The bus ride was nice, we got to see nice scenery and it was only 3hours (and we payed 288THB one day in advance). Then we arrived […]
Bangkok – away from the tourists.
Is it possible, you will ask me, to find a place far from the tourists in Bangkok? Well yes it is, and we found it! It is called Baan Silapin, a little village along the river in Bangkok where you will find Klong Bang Luang, the Artist’s House. The easy way to get there is […]
