i'm back! this is going to be a quick post as i'm knackered from traveling overnight and i'm still not thinking straight. so as a preview of things to come:
August 5th i arrived in Bangkok and met R at the airport. we toured around the sights on the 6th - the grand palace, the reclining buddha, and other places in the city.
on the 7th - we took a tour to the floating market and the tiger temple, and made a quick stop at the bridge over the river kwai.
the 8th brought us back to the airport to fly (domestic) to surat thani about halfway down the country - a long bus ride and then a ferry brought us to our "home" on the islands - Koh Samui. we experienced local thai culture, a touristy elephant ride, swimming under waterfalls, and lots of beach time.
the 13th (my "birthday" in thailand) we boarded a high speed catamaran for the island of Koh Tao - otherwise known as paradise.
on the 16th it was back to samui for the night and a flight to bangkok on the 17th (didn't want to leave...)
out last weekend saw us checked into a most luxurious, gorgeously decorated boutique hotel in chinatown... it was heaven - a little paradise dropped in the middle of hectic bangkok.
anyway, that's the quickie version. if it's enough for you then don't come back for a while, the next couple of days/weeks will be devoted to my "series on thailand" so stay tuned for more details.
and just to whet your appetite for all the amazing photos i've taken with my new Canon EOS 20D, here's me with a real live tiger:
aww... just a big pussy cat really...in other news, i'm leaving korea in 12 days...
