BKK is the airport code for Bangkok ( I think they call it airport code )....anyway, I think you know what I mean. We are in Thailand! I think I am having a bit of culture shock. Even though I've been here 3 times, this being my 4th time, it has been 6 years since my last visit and this is the first time I've come during the rainy season. The humidity and heat are bearable as long as we have a pool and a fan. This time around I really enjoyed Bangkok. We stayed at a nice guesthouse (K.T. Guesthouse) that was very child friendly, had a good restaurant and a pool and next door to a Thai massage place. Where I was able to get a one hour Thai massage for 250 Baht or two hours for 350 Baht. We rode the subway which made Bangkok less intimidating. After 5 days in Bangkok we took the night train up to Chiang Mai.
I thought I was getting a good deal on the Thai massages in Bangkok but found even better deals in Chiang Mai!
Thinking we would head north to escape the heat is really not accurate. The heat and humidity are still here! We found a guest house with a pool and our room has a fan - I don't care for air con. The heat has a way of making unable to think properly or function normally, however it does help in making my muscles warm and supple so it is good for yoga postures!
Ruby seems to be having a good time and she is dealing with the culture shock just fine (no problem). She's catching on to the common Thai phrases and loves riding in the tuk-tuk's!
More later.....
