We are getting ready to head out on our overnight sleeper bus to Chiang Mai. We were actually looking forward to riding 1st class on the overnight train however due to all the rain the tracks are flooded and the trains aren't working for the next week. We had a tough choice, pay an extra $60 for 1 hour flight or take the 9 hour bus for $60 less. As easy as it would have been to take the more expensive and quicker option we had to be cost conscious so bus ride and ambien here we come!
We have had the last 3 nights in Bangkok to recharge and just relax which has been nice. I know some people think we are on an everlasting vacation but traveling is not easy! We have visited some night markets, had a good Mexican meal with a decent margarita (none can compare to the margas made by Bill Reeves), hung with some lady boys, and had a drink 61 stories in the air at the Banyan Tree Hotel. All in all it has been great but we are ready to get this venture going and see some other countries and cultures. We will be in Chiang Mai for the next 4 days and then head to Laos by boat for a week, fly into Hanoi and travel through Vietnam for 2 weeks and then take a bus to Siem Riep in Cambodia for a couple days. We will be heading back to Bangkok before leaving for the last leg of our trip in Indonesia.
Sawadeeka!!!
