Khlong Lan Waterfall
One of Thailand’s most well-kept secrets is the Klong Lan Waterfall. Difficult to find unless you take the back roads between Kamphaeng Phet and Nakorn Sawan, this 100-meter high waterfall is a fun stop off the tracks of Thailand’s Asia Highway. Read the rest of this entry »
Angie's Birthday Cake!

HTC Touch Diamond
I recently reviewed the HTC Touch Diamond here.
Last week, Khun Busakorn, current PR for HTC here in Thailand, was kind enough to allow me a full in-dept look at the HTC Touch Diamond. She’s a very nice woman, and I must thank her profusely for the chance. Read the rest of this entry »

The Temple of the Laying Buddha or Wat Pra Non has a stunning statue enclosed in a too-small-for-its size building. If you have the chance to visit, it’s breathtaking, but I’m a little biased, I LOVE this stuff!
I was born on a Tuesday, so my Buddha image of the day is the laying Buddha which happens to often be represented as larger than life! … co-inky-dink?
A few images from a temple just under Kao Wang or Phra Nakhon Khiri.
First off, the temple is located on the little Yellow tact… (Yes, from Google Earth, no snickering!)
