So we really don’t have much to say in this one. Thailand has been like a vacation since leaving Africa. We’ve just been wandering around, shopping, eating, drinking and taking in some sights. It’s been nice to relax but I was telling Lungi that I miss Africa where my body and mind were always stimulated. Here we can just float through the day without really thinking or working too hard – Thailand is really built for tourism. We spent some time in Bangkok and visited the Grand Palace before taking a quick trip up north to Chiang Mai where we just strolled through the streets and ate delicious food.
From Chiang Mai we headed south to Koh Phangnan and rented a scooter to explore the island. It’s nice and laid back here and we’re staying at a small bungalow on a beautiful stretch of beach facing Koh Samui. It’s the off season so we’re sharing the beach with only a few tourists. The full moon party is in a couple of days at which point the island will swell with tourists coming to party and sample the magical shakes. Unfortunately we’ll miss it as we’ll be heading to Koh Phi Phi (where the movie “The Beach” was filmed).
Life is a beach!!! (at least in Thailand). The two of you may have difficulty facing reality when you finally get back to real life. But in the meantime, enjoy every single minute. To be fair, I don't think you'll find that life's a beach when you get to India....those lzay beach days will be replaced by the hustle and bustle of incredible india. (I'll be there in spirit!) love, mom
