Hi Everyone! Well, this should be the last entry from Thailand and even more likely, from this trip. However, there's still some to tell of our travels so let me fill you in on the day since I obviously didn't want to waste my last full day here. As it was mentioned, I went off on my own for a little bit while Jocelyn remained here at the hostel since she wasn't feeling well still. This seems to be brought on by the heat more than anything so today was the da...

Today in the battle of Bangkok weather v Jocelyn mason, I won...mostly. We slept in and started our day pretty slowly. With a trip to the video store for a few last movies and to Tesco for some food we made our way back to the hostel. We waited out the hottest part of the day with a movie (Salmon Fishing in the Yemen) and then out we went.

Hi Everyone!!! So, we've heard some complaints (in the form of concern) regarding our lack of updates to the blog. So here it is...

Before I get to A...

So, while you won't be flooded with another 200 photos of our adventures in Bangkok as you were in Chiang Mai, I'm sure we'll manage to send you a glimpse of what we're seeing here a...

Hi Everyone! So, you'll see that there are two entries for today. That's partially because we got up nice early (8am) and went out until 2:00 and had a LOT of fun. It's also partially because Jocelyn has just left for a five hour Thai cooking class and I am left to my own devices. While I may feel particularly adventurous later and may wander to a nearby market solo, I'm pretty content to relax here at Tanita House for a little while and tell you all about th...
