Hey Everyone, after 19 plus hours of flying we arrived safely in Bangkok yesterday. Robbie and I spent a little more time then necessary trying to figure out which taxi to take from the airport to the guesthouse. But the time saved us a few hundred bahts. Everyone said the roads were really busy, I didn't find the highway to be that way, but once we reached the center of town, whoa, hold the horses, it was crazy. However everyone seems to be able to drive defensively enough that we didn't see any crashes. It cool because there are the tuk tuks, moto bikes, and cars all sharing the same road. They don't really stay in one lane or seem to follow traffic rules like we have back in the states. Robbie and I did ride in a tuk tuk to see the Standing Buddha. Very beautiful. We also spent some time last evening visiting the Khoa San area, where there is a night market, and great food. I got a wax, while Robbie enjoyed some brew and people watched. Our guest house is nice and in a good local. It is pretty humid here and the temperature is about 80+ degrees. We do have a fan in the room, and that seems to help quite a bit. Today we are headed to downtown, the snake farm, and maybe we will take in some thai boxing. There is much more I want to write but time is short on the Internet.

So how was the wax and brews?? Amy and Chris
CDog,
Naomi got a lot removed. Yikes. The beers are good and go down smooth. You get a liter for about $2.50-$3.00. The mixed drinks are pretty fair as well because they use fresh fruit, which is awesome. We also got massages which were pretty nice. Those girls are strong and really bend you around.
I'm glad you two arrived safely and are having fun. Remember, if the ocean suddenly withdraws or your elephant begins behaving erratically, seek higher ground!
A headless snake... now thats something!
