Thailand

 Thailand, world of wacky writing and anything you could ever want and a lot of stuff you don't. Mike and I entered Thailand through Poipet on the Cambodian border and arrived in Bangkok a swift four hours later. We settled down in the Khao San Road area, tourist mecca/slum/ghetto and spent some time getting acquainted with Bangkok. The King's birthday was the 5th of December and everything shut down while the Thai's threw an amazing celebration for their 83 year old monarch Rama IV.

We left Bangkok in route to Koh Chang Island for some beach time. Koh Chang is a small island on the east side of the Gulf of Thailand and a beautiful place to relax, build castles and sun tan.

I left Mike in Koh Chang, which was a challenge, in route to Vietnam, so I could at least say that I visited the country. We would meet up again in Saigon before we got on the plane back to the States.
