Bangkok, Chang Mai, Chang Rai, Kanchanaburi, Surathani, Koh Pipi, Koh Samui
Bangkok, not so busy in the 90ies. Chinatown was very interesting and I started to wish to travel through China one day.

Penang
A bustling place with dilapidated, old colonial buildings.

Medan, Sumatra Brestagi, Ambarita, Sinabung Volcano, Bukit Lawang, Lake Toba
Batak houses are boat-shaped with intricately carved gables and upsweeping roof ridges.

Colombo, Hikkaduwa, Hapatule, Ambalangoda, Wellawaya, Kandy, Gaulle
Colombo’s central bus station got blown up by LTTE. There were cows on the beach in Hikkaduwa, not tourists.

Bangkok, Surat Thani, Ko Samui, Ko Chang
Golden roofed Wat Po, monks in orange fabric, hippies and Vietnam War veterans mixed in Khao San Road. The first time for me, world history was for real, it got faces and personal stories.
