headed to thailand soon..
So… I haven’t taken a proper, unplugged from the Internet vacation in quite some time now… So, I decided to hope over to Thailand for a few days with a few friends, Paul, Korby and Jenny. My friend Ali is gonna meet up at some point too; she’s recovering from burningman and needed more than a week off.. I leave Saturday morning at 1am. Woohoo.
I’ve never been to Thailand, but after talking with some seasoned travelers, I think our tentative itinerary is:
- Arrive in Bangkok on 9/9, wander the city. Go to the malls.
- Hop over to Angkor Wat for a day or two. See stuff.
- Make our way down to the Beaches and Islands.. Maybe Railay beach, near Krabi..
September is supposedly “Monsoon Season,” so it shouldn’t be as crowded. Hmmmm.. Monsoons, eh? Lemme check the weather….
Uh.. great. According to Pius, it only thunderstorms for a little bit every day, and then it’s clear. Well.. That’s cool with me. We didn’t really have a rainy season at all this year, so it might actually be nice to see some rain. And Thunderstorms even.. That would be cool.
Alas, that is all we have really planned now (which is not very much). If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

Yeah for Thailand. I was there for about a month this year. Weather is not bad – like east coast USA in the summer. Food is awesome, you can find whatever your looking for between Bangkok, mountains, islands, and chill peeps. aww yeah.

You definitely have to visit Pai, the spiritual center of Thailand. You can drive/fly from Chiang Mai. I lived in Thailand for a year and worked in Phi Phi Island. Although it has lost a lot of its natural beauty after the tsunami, it still can be a good alternative as well.
