The Tham Dao Khao Kaeo Cave Temple is 75 kilometers from Saraburi town or 122 kilometers from Nakhon Ratchasima city.
This cave is located up 100 meters of stairs from the foot of a hill, Khao Kaeo.
When rays of sun fall upon the cave, the walls sparkle red, black, and brown, like stars, or Dao, giving it part of its moniker.

Dear Larry B, Larry L, Michelle T, Salah A, Joanne L and David A, Elaine A, Jeff Z, and Lois and Art F,
(Copy to My Friends and Family Everywhere)
My dear New England friends, you have often asked me, “Jan, will you ever return to Boston?”
My answer now is “Maybe.”
A prominent intuition decided to add the Department of Travel and Hotel Management to their Graduate School of Business.
The school administrators reckon that the potential waning of the pandemic portends a dramatic increase in the demand for all sectors of the hospitality industry. A business rebound will induce a concomitant surge in university enrollment.

Jenjira and I celebrate Loi Krathong festival with our friends Dan and Anna.
We float our kratongs in the sea, enjoy the festivities and continue our colorful evening at an all-you-can-eat cook-it-yourself fish and seafood buffet.
A few days later, Jenjira and I climb the steep dragon-protected steps to visit and pay our respects at the Wat Phra Yai complex, also known in Pattaya as The Big Buddha. The seated Buddha rises over us at eighteen meters or fifty-nine feet.

Hello,
New Travel Plans?
New Travel Plans!
At last once a week I receive a notice from the United States State Department that advises me to, “Reconsider International Travel.”
Reconsider? How do I “reconsider” when I am addicted?
There are two areas of the world that are still blank on my “personal travel map.”
I have not yet ventured south of the Sahara to Black Africa.
I have not yet sailed to the South Pacific.
And despite my many travels I know very little about the natural world. I can identify quartz and granite and limestone. I know the difference between a palm tree and a pine tree. A pigeon and a peacock. That’s it.
Where can I go to complete my map and also add to my knowledge at the same time?

Hello,
This past Monday I was a speaker at the Bangkok International Travelers Meetup. I chose to speak about my February 2020 journey through the Western Desert of Egypt.
At the meetup I spoke for about an hour and shared many photos and several videos.
Today I have posted a small selection of about thirty of my favorite images and videos.
