Going in Circles
Hmm, its not a good sign that I’m writing from Bangkok again. After going to the doctor for my ear last week I floated around northeast Thailand. I don’t have my Thailand guidebook anymore since I didn’t expect to be back here so just did some searching on the internet to decide where to go. The antibiotics that the doctor gave me got rid of the pain and pressure in the ear quickly, but it is still ringing all the time and has significantly reduced hearing. Read more
3 Countries in 3 Days
Sorry its been so long, but I haven’t seen many computers lately. The problem now is that is difficult to figure out where to begin and I can’t upload pictures on this computer so for now I’ll do a long entry and can adjust them later if I want to. Read more
The Old City

Me again, I’ve been in a town called Auytthaya for the last couple of days. It’s the town that Michelle and I were supposed to visit, but had to skip because of my illness. The city was the capital of Siam (now Thailand) from around 1350-1750 AD. Which means that there a lots of interesting old temples around to look at. Read more

I got up early, 5:15am (30 minutes before my alarm was set), and was out of the hostel at 5:45 so I could catch the train up to Kanchanaburi and see the river Kwai Bridge and surrounding area. I knew exactly what to do to get to the train station and was feeling confident. I took the skytrain to the river and then the ferry upstream. Read more
Betting The Horses in Bangkok
I’m back on my own again. After Michelle left I spent the day at the horse races right in downtown Bangkok. Didn’t really know what I was doing when I went, and just figured it out as I went. First I found an English program then went inside. It looked familiar enough and was filling up for the first race. Read more

7 Days Turned into 3 in Ko Chang
Michelle made it ok after a nights stay in Tokyo. Her flight from Dallas was 2 hours late leaving which caused her to miss her connection and turned into a 14 hour delay. We still had a little bit of time in Bangkok and went to the Golden Palace (again for me) and toured around some. Read more
