This past weekend I decided to head down to Sattahip, just south of Pattaya, to The Bikers Cafe for the British Bike Meet on Sunday. Triumph and Royal Enfield were showing off some bikes and letting people go for test rides. I found out about it on short notice through my Line motorcycle riding group, but my bike needs updated registration and a working battery before I can … [Read more...] about British Bike Meet – The Bikers Cafe – Sattahip, Thailand
Best Khao Soi In Thailand? Sattahip
Some say Khao Soi is the best tasting soup on Earth. I don’t know about that, but it ranks right up there among my favourites.

Day 11 – Mae Sai to Golden Triangle and Chiang Rai, Thailand
After checking out of our hotel, we made our way back to the markets near the border crossing. We’d promised the owner of Cowboy Coffee (I’ve forgotten his name now) that we would go for coffee there. We found our way back to Cowboy Coffee, and the owner was happy to see us. We found a seat deep in the back of the cafe. Crystal sat and surfed while I explored. There are so … [Read more...] about Day 11 – Mae Sai to Golden Triangle and Chiang Rai, Thailand
