*Meebo Update* We are planning some maintenance that will take place sometime this Saturday, August 23, between 16:00-18:00 PDT ( 23:00-01:00 UTC). If all those numbers make your brain hurt, that’s 4-6PM California time! We are hoping to avoid any outage, but Meebo *might* be down for up to half an hour. Have a great weekend! *End Update*

I recently took a trip to Thailand with some friends, and I gotta say that it’s a freaking awesome place! From amazing jungles, to beautiful Wats (temples), to friendly people, Thailand is a great place to visit.

After spending two days in crazy-hectic Bangkok, which was fantastic, we headed out to more-mellow-but-still-somewhat-hectic Chiang Mai. One of the more interesting stories: we took a trek into the jungle with a guide named Batman who was totally hilarious and charismatic. After a sweaty, dehydrating day of hiking, we spent the night at the Long Neck village, eating great food, meeting wonderful people from across the globe, and buying supplies from a makeshift 7-Eleven! The next day, we went river rafting and spent as much time stuck on rocks as we did rafting down the river (ouch!).

After Chiang Mai, we headed out to Koh Phangan and spent a week in one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. Honestly, while most of that week was spent lying on beaches, we did spend some time exploring the island, on foot and on ATV. We went to a Shiva moon party, which aas far as I can tell is a rave in the jungle, and had lunch at the Garden of Eden restaurant which is perched on some rocks, overlooking the Had Yuan beach.

After Koh Phangan, we returned to Bangkok to catch our connecting flight back to California. All in all, it was an eye-opening experience, and I would highly recommend y’all check out Thailand if you get the chance!

    Dude! ! Can you share with me your itinerary, i would love to experience it myself… please email me if you don’t mind.. U look cute loh!! (Singapore-english)

  4. henry Says:

    Nice narrative. I’ve been to Thailand last year when I visited my cousins but I missed going to those beautiful parts you’ve mentioned. What I remember is we’ve gone to floating market, samphran elephant ground and king’s place. You’re right, Thailand is a wonderful place to visit. I’ll take note of those places you’ve mentioned when I get the chance to visit Thailand next time. Thanks for the info.

  5. Josh Says:

    Hi Buddy

    Hope you had a great experience. Eve me and one more of my friend thinking to do Thailand travel. Seems like the travel you did is more adventurous than normal hang around in Bangkok, I am more interested in the travel routes you took

    Can you share with me your itinerary too ?

    Thanks

    Josh

    me too had visit in Southern thailand , it was very nice as i attended their wedding.I like the frendliness of the ppl.

  7. JULIE Says:

    OMG! im in thailand right now!!! i love it! were in phuket right now. its nice but i like koh phi phi better. while we were ther we did alot of scuba diving. it was fantastic!

  8. Si Says:

    Please stop spamming me with irrelevant stuff. If it’s to do with the Meebo service, fair enough, but I really don’t care what you do on your holidays.

  9. Nik Says:

    Glad you enjoyed your trip to Thailand. I’ve been there twice for almost a year total and love it very much. I’m currently back in Chiang Mai and making the most of it. I’m not sure when I’ll get to come back. Check out my travel blog if you want, I’ve been working hard to document some of the more mundane, but unseen scenes wandering around the neighborhood.

  10. Guzel Says:

    Ya ya ya..You are very right dude..I have being there b4..Its a place to be..All need to check it out..

  11. Andy Says:

    Well, that is quite a coincidence. We just booked our flights to Bangkok for mid Semptember yesterday :) flights only, no hotel, 10 days. Probably it will be a similar trip to your one :)

  12. prudy Says:

    nice, u r very lucky

  13. kuupenn Says:

    hey,

    Had studied in Thailand for 2 yrs….still cant help missing the place

  14. oddy Says:

    thailand is a cool place indeed. just came back fm bangkok few weeks back. took the local tour, chaophraya river cruise and stopped over by the temple to feed the fish n to floating market. i’ve been to southern thai and some of the islands before. amazing, pure n non commercial places are my choice. have u experienced shower with sea water? well we experienced it in koh phi phi. weird at first but what an experience. had a small fishing boat hitch-hiked with the fisherman who was kind enough to take us along for his fishing trip :) . marvellous!

  15. Timothy Says:

    DUDE I JUST LEFT TAILAND 1 HR AGO TO GO TO VIETNAM ;)

  16. shaddy Says:

    it’s a wonderful experience. i wish i can make it their. NIG.

  17. arlene Says:

    yeah thats really great. i’ve always wanted to go to thailand. will someday

  18. sip Says:

    I liked Thailand so much that after a 4 month work related visit in 2001, I’ve been going back every year since. Chiang Mai is a great place to visit to get out of the bustle of Bangkok. Samui is also nice, but it’s a bit more expensive and too many tourists :-)

  19. :) Says:

    That trip sounds fun. My friend recently went with his church and they helped out in an orphanage and then went sight seeing the next week. He said the people were very kind. I would like to go someday, but I’m wanting to go to Germany someday more then anything to see the Anne Frank Mueseum.

    Thanks for sharing your travels with us!

    :)

  26. Nargees Hossain Says:

    i LOVE Thailand and will go there very soon!!!!!!!!!!

  27. Nrgs Says:

    its actually 9:20 rite now

  28. evi Says:

    Well, why didn’t you go to Hatyai, it lies on the southern part of thailand. I am an Indonesian, but have been 8.5 months living here for studying.
    Hatyai is a small city with great culinary. if someday, you go back for trip to thailand..i suggest you to visit Hatyai..take a connecting plane from bangkok to hatyai. it takes about an hour by plane.

  29. Avi Says:

    Shiva moon party! u went to a psychedelic trance nature party? thats very fortunate as you really need to be in the know to find such things. The ones here stateside are very underground.. well they are above ground just in the middle of nowhere.

  30. Suthida Says:

    i was born in thailand! have you been to the island of phuket? if u havent then you havent seen the half of thailand. to say hi in thai, i hope u know,is (Sawa-dee). glad you went there. where did u stay,like a hotel?

  31. Edmund Says:

    All I can say is, who cares? Spend your time developing more features compatible with the other im services. You are not our friends, your intern’s lunch choices are boring if not out right stupid. Who cares that you are working on new wall paper, who isn’t.

    Use this space to educate your consumers, not to pat yourselves on your collective backs saying how grand you are, you’re not.

  32. Will Says:

    Sounds like some fun when you leave out the bugs part of the jungle hike, would also be interested to know if and how much it rained while you were there?

    Go adventure!

  33. Allisandra Says:

    This is for the user who posted above, under the name Edmund. I find this section very interesting to read. Everything about a company does not need to be boring, hard work. Meebo is showing us that it can be fun too.

    This sounded like a lot of fun! I’m glad you enjoyed it.

  34. camtu_1909 Says:

    who are you???????//????????????????/

  35. camtu_1909 Says:

    nice to meet you
    i am from VN

  36. Lee Lee Says:

    Woow, you sounded like you had a REALLY good time! Lucky you.

    I live in London and this summer I went around Asia and am in Prague now…

    Firstly, I think YOU would REALLY enjoy Langkawi, Malaysia (if you haven’t already been in Malaysia). There’s so much to do… similar to the stuff you did. We went like kayaking, parasailing, went to beaches, walked around a lot in jungle places with a waterfall. Anyway, I had so much fun I feel that I should enlighten the world about it! So go to Langkawi!!!

    Secondly, I also went to Bangkok. Did you not find it really upsetting… I mean the amount of poverty and how sad it was to see so many beggars that were mutilated? (unless you didn’t see any). I wasn’t expecting it but there were loads and unfortunatly I got so upset that we ended up staying in the hotel. But I wish I had done as much as you did.

  37. camtu_1909 Says:

  61. pjb Says:

    been there done that – almost the same itinerary as you! loved it – it was back in 1989 but – loved it and will do it again soon!

  62. :) Says:

    To comment on Edmund above, I think this section was somewhat interesting, if you don’t like it don’t read it. I’m sure this is far more entertaining to most then the usual Meebo blogs about the system and new programs, etc.

  63. Santa Clause Says:

    sounds nice

  64. Jessi Says:

    First I wanted to say I’d love to go.
    How was getting around without speaking the language? (assuming)
    That’s what’d I’d worry about missing out on.

    Second, I think as another poster commented, it has nothing to do with the meebo service. If we wanted to get to know them personally which the last two entries have been personal, we could go to the blog. It doesn’t make me like the company more if I know the people.

    I’d like to see a setting in preferences whether we get that pop-up or not upon log in.
    Maybe also specifying that if the content is about meebo services, we’d allow it/not allow.

  65. febrina Says:

    i really really miss being in thailandddd………… :(

  66. Mona Says:

    Omg please forward that itenerary along to me next! I would love to have an experience like that! I recently came from Tokyo but it wasnt really that kind of experience. Tokyo is too much like New York! Thailand sounds like the place to be! Please share the info if you can!

    Thanks :o )

  67. Mona Says:

    Edmund stop being a hater. I like their travel stories! It gives ME ideas for places to go and things to see! Furthermore MEEBO IS AWESOME! So if they want to pat themselves on the back for being great. LET THEM! Why dont you go develop something awesome, or just be quiet and let them be them. You have a lot of nerve being so demanding about a FREE SERVICE! get over YOURSELF!

  68. Misty Says:

    Sounds like a truly cool experience. Thanks for sharing . I have to ask, where are you from because the “ya’ll” at the end has me curious. (-:

  69. Misty Says:

    Oh and BTW…ditto on Mona’s comment to Edmund. Edmund’s working for the man…and the man is not so fun. Marketing has changed, get with it. This is likely one of the best marketing tools I’ve seen. Build the relationship first and then you might get someone to listen to your features and the boring stuff Edmund likes.

  70. Me Says:

    Awsome. I sooo wanna g there. Iheard it is 1 of the most beautiful places in teh world

  71. Veronica Says:

    wow it sounds beautiful there. im glad you had fun im definately planning on going there one day in my future.

    when my brother returned from his journey to thailand he brought me a lot of cloths.but in my surprise they were all smal for me!i think girls livin there are really small! guys God knows im not tht fat!!! :(

  78. no name Says:

    Look I am glad you had a good time but you should do some research into what really goes on in thailand not what you see remember your eyes can lie because people can make things look beautiful when terrible things are actually happening to other people you just don’t see it.

  79. NanasGirl60 Says:

    What

  80. Piolo P. Says:

    Hi Bro,

    Excellent! Nice place to visit this year. Thank you for sharing your wonderful journey in Thailand. I wish to visit that place this year but am still thinking of some other ways to earn & save money for my trip.

  81. Piolo P. Says:

    AWESOME!!!

  82. Cat Says:

    What the crap? Did everyone decide to go to Thailand this summer? Like half of my boyfriend’s friends and coworkers went and got back this week. Crazy irony there.

  83. Stacey Axelrod Says:

    I just returned from Thailand! I was in Phang-nga with a group of student journalists from the University of North Carolina. We were documenting life after the tsunami and just general southern Thailand culture. Our website, andamanrising.org, will be public very soon.

  84. Sofie Joan Says:

    hejhej,
    I’m going of to thailand in november for 3 months… I’m a student architecture, not rich and looking for some nice thailand places to visit, by which I mean: the non-super-tourist things.
    So if you have some ‘you-realy-have-to-go/eat/go hiking/take a boat/drink/lay down/wathever…-there’ it would be super if you could let me know!

    greets! sofie

  85. Diandra Says:

    I LOOOOVEEEE LOOOOVVVEEE LOOOOVVVEEE THAILAND!!! BEST COUNTRY AND FOOD EVVVEERRRR :D

  86. Tygalilly Says:

    Sounds like you had a fantastic time! Shiva Moon party – I’m inspired, definitely sounds like a place to visit. I’ve been particuarly interested in Koh Phangan since I first read about it couple years back. Maybe you’ll make it here to Barbados one of these days!

  87. jade Says:

    that sound great! i also want to visit Thailand and Singapore!

  88. ILYD! Says:

    Hy that sounds flipping awesome! Never been but its my life long dream in the works to travel the entire world! =P thailand is now on my list thanx to you! dale! =)

  91. sophie Says:

  92. :) Says:

    cool, i have the experience of doing some what of that stuff. like i went to thailand and i had so much fun!! looking at temples and meeting new people everyone was so kind but a lil boy that was kinda grumpy :D i went up there with my dad and 2 friends i barely saw my dad though me and meh friends where way to busy having fun. we went river rafting in the same place you did and we bumped into alot of rocks too it does hurt i scraped my arm on one.. i was being stupid.. my arm was hurting!!! be carefull when yuo do that stuff it gets kinda scary if you never did it before exspecially on rough waters not mellow waters where you can go on and go threw slowly. thats what i did my first time cause we where camping my family is so fun to be with :D during the summers mainly..but sept the bills are going up..and we kinda stopped having that much fun.

    but other than that i suggest you go river rafting its so cool!!
    i also went to six flags :D 2 days of vacation it was so fun it actuallly sadly was my first time the other times my parents said we are going and then we couldnt.. cause a delay popped up or they didnt want to. but when i went it was so awesome~~

  93. Siv Says:

    I was born in Thailand and have not been back since my arrival to the United States in 1988. I am definitely planning a visit after graduation.

  94. murderer Says:

    I have never been abroad,
    thailand sounds like a good place to travel around,
    i want to go ,how nice it would be if i have that chance.

  95. tarania Says:

    that will be interesting….i belive asian is the most fantastic place…..

  96. Srsly u guiz Says:

    Why the hell am I spammed with blogs of people I don’t care about whenever I log onto Meebo?

    Seriously. If I want to read your blog, I’d really look into the site for it.

  97. mavin Says:

    I don’t understand.

  98. Mal Aliehs Says:

    Awesome!! I was in Thailand last week too!! Spent about a week at Koh Samui for a friend’s wedding. It’s super relaxing holiday accompany with great food, massage by the beach and bunch of parties at night! :D

    Koh Phangan seems to be a new island to explore now… esp the full moom party! I should check that out next time.

I am from the Philippines and I would very much like to see Thailand and experience all its wonders very, very soon. Would appreciate if you can also share your itinerary with me. My email is towers711@gmail.com. Thank you so much! :-) By the way, any chances of visiting Manila? I will be more than willing to show you around…

  128. Paul Says:

    Thailand is a great country. I’m visiting some (Thai) friends there next week and I can’t wait to meet them after 4 years. Thai people are fantastic, always in good mood, always smiling. Such a pity it’s 12 long hours from Paris.

  129. Casey Reuter Says:

    Ha, i’m in thailand right now, volunteering a the WFFT animal rehabilitation center. Spending 6 weeks here for just about $1000, all food and accomdation taken care of. The animals are amazing and you meet tons of people as they are always coming and going. THanks meebo for making it possible to stay in touch at home!

    If you do end up doing something like volunteering, make sure you schedule in time to travel!

    hey thats cool for you, but what does your story have to do w/ meebo????????

    kinda seems like ya’ll are starting to take advantage of your mass audience with ads and stuff – which makes sense, dont get me wrong – but it dont make sense to use your update/welcome message to talk about non-meebo things cuz whats to stop you from promoting brands/products next if you get the right asking price???????

    Gah, every day I come into work, sit in my little worker-fattening pen (cubicle) and fire up Meebo, only to be confronted by yet another fabulous travelog. I wish you guys would write more about working 70 hour weeks, eating ramen for lunch at your desk and being all stressed out from the burden of making meebo more awesome for us. Harumph.

  160. Monica Says:

    Hey man:

    I had a great time in Bangkok too, and wouldn’t trade any part of my life for the experience that i had. I was there in April 2008.

    I like there so much, and i even have a second thought about living there a few months out of the year. I know, i know, that probably is just a dream for me, hehe

    soundsz like u had alot of fun!!!!!
    –>ANDR3ABOO<–

  183. Jamesm Says:

    Yes Thailand is awesome. I did almost three months there 2 years ago. I have to say this is not the best time of the year to go. It is the rainy season. Best time to go is Jan-March. There is a lot more to do than Chaing Mai and Ko Pahnh Yan. The south islands like Ko Pi Pi, Ko Lanta.. and beyond.. I plan to go back in Jan for 2-3 weeks.. I know the place like the back of my hand now.. and never can get enough

  184. Rainbow Says:

    Cool summer trip!!!

    Would invite you to visit Philippines in your next trip.

  185. Mylan Says:

    Then I suggest u try Vietnam. Especially Saigon at night. I’ve been there regularly and theres always things to do, and pretty unexpensive too, which is a bonus!!!!

  186. Sabrina Says:

    Philippines are better.

  187. annie Says:

    maybe you can stop by the philippines sometime, it’s a lot like thailand here only better :P

  188. jcramones Says:

    South East Asia is a great place to visit and relax. Maybe you can try visiting Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines. We have nice beaches and jungles. And you can also visit the Rainforest Music Festival (just ended last month). It was in Sarawak of Malaysia (Borneo Island) and it was held every year.

    Don’t forget to try the variety of foods while you are here because we Asian really love to eat! You can try the tasty n smelly Durian (the thorny fruit and we called it the King of fruit) or even the hot sambal belacan (chilli mix with prawn paste).

    If you want to relax, there are lot’s of islands around here, the Sipadan Island in Sabah (borneo island) is the best place currently.

  189. rolen Says:

    hello world are you still there….
    have a nice day to everyone….

  190. Oak Says:

    Hi guys,

    First of all, I would like to say thanks for traveling in my country.

    You have been in many places, I still have no chance to visit Chiang Mai. People said it is a one of great places in Thailand as you mentioned.

    If you have time, try to visit Koh Pee Pee and Koh Tao.

    Again, thanks for recommended my country.

  191. Natacha Says:

    it’s very good site very nice…

  192. Poch Says:

    Hey, I’m honestly extremely interested in this trip you took.

    I’ve taken previous travels to Italy and Belize. I’m an anthropology major and very interested in the temples, ruins, forest caves etc heh.

    I was wondering whether you had a more comprehensive blog or travel logue of this trip anywhere? I’d really like to know more details on the specific places you went so I might be able to plan a trip out there and maybe hit some of these interesting places that are away from the normal tourist traps.

    Also what’s this rave party? Sounds fun.

    Hey! I’m in thailand now, in Pattaya Beach. It’s really a hot place to vist. Today it was about 95 and humid as he11. Went to Bangkok but it’s too crowded there. Get away from Bangkok as fast as you can if you come to Thailand.
    I’m going to Germany and Russian when I leave here. I don’t think it will be as hot there. BTW Ann Frank Museum is in Amsterdam Netherlands. I was there last fall. I’m going back as soon as I can. It’s a great place to waste a week or two.
