I’ll be taking retainers for next year’s RPTE to Thailand and Cambodia very soon. Email me at info@bobbyearle with the subject “RPTE 2012 SIGNUP” and you’ll be on the list of first people to be able to jump on before it’s announced on the blog.

These next two days were incredible. We went to Erawan in Kanchanaburi for a full day of waterfalling :) After spending the evening hanging out on the River Kwai, we woke up bright and early for the trek into Cambodia. We spent the afternoon in Siem Reap at the temples and, most importantly, with my tuk tuk family. Seeing them, as always, was an incredible treat. I love these guys so much — a year between visits is just too long.

Within hours, the entire group seemed to have a sense for what I was constantly referring to. The difference that sets Cambodia apart. Thailand is incredible, but Cambodia is magical. There’s something so welcoming about it.

Hank ate some insane little pepper that put him on blast for probably 20 minutes. Kaan, my friend who’s guesthouse we stay at, gave him a packet of sugar to help :)

On our way to Erawan falls.

Hank jumped off of the TOP of this waterfall. Here’s the video. Crazy.

And after one more amazing sunset over our hangout spot, we were off to Cambodia…

That’s a 3.2 second exposure… hand held :)

After Phuket, we flew back to Bangkok and headed on over to Kanchanaburi. This is my favorite part of Thailand. It’s a different pace — on that I prefer over Phuket. And the things to be done here are bucket list type things. Petting tigers, natural rock slides into mineral waterfalls, lounging on the river Kwai, swimming with elephants… It’s all out of this world.

This is the restaurant/guesthouse/hangout spot in Kanchanaburi. It is hands down my favorite place I’ve ever stayed in all of my travels. Editing your photos here while the sun is setting, eating from the incredible restaurant here, or just having some good conversation… this deck is paradise.

When 6 full grown tigers are “playing” and they decide to run where they aren’t supposed to — there’s not too much that can stop them. This was like a foot away from me. Good stuff.

Today we headed out with the best private boat charter in Phuket. I’ve used a few boat charters out in Phuket and Geoff and Alan are in a league of their own — hands down.

The day is impossible to fully describe. It tends to leave nearly everyone on the trip speechless. Just one of those things. Awesome snorkeling. Incredible water. Islands all around. It’s just one of those things that has to be experienced at some point :)

We are in the thick of the 2011 RPTE — and it’s been an incredible 3 days so far. Day one had us arriving in Phuket, going straight to the beach, and then immediately getting monsooned on for like two solid hours. I’m with the raddest group so every single one of them had a blast in the torrential downpour…

All of these rain photos were taken with Ellie’s underwater PnS… SO glad she brought it!

Hank the tank.

The ocean being pelted by giant, sideways raindrops.

I’m part dolphin. Ellie’s part dolphin photographer.

Liz was pretty dang scared of snakes before we went to my friend’s snake farm. Within 20 minutes, she went from gasping for air to being a snake handler :)

Leaving our private beach at sunset. After playing volleyball for hours, of course.

Diana, Ellie, and some creeper.

Ali. Soaking it up.

I love Thailand and I love this crew even more.
