Hello! We made it to Bangkok. It was quite the adventure. We were supposed to get on a bus but for some reason we couldn't get on it, so we were told to get in a taxi at the bus station. We were with another couple in the taxi and it was REALLY tight. We had no clue why we were put in the taxi or where we were going. We tried to ask the driver, but he didn't speak English and would only answer "yes" that we were headed to Bangkok. He drove like a freakin maniac and honked his horn for people/cows to get out of the way. We tried to put seat belts on, but they did not exist. After about an hour we stopped at this "rest stop" and there was a guy that could speak English. He talked to the driver for us and we found out he was taking us to Bangkok for sure. We told the guy to tell our driver to drive like a normal human and that we would take a bus at the border the rest of the journey- we didn't want to be in his crazy self for 10 hours. So the ride was a little better to the border and we ended up catching a bus there, although we had to wait 3 hours (grrr...). Let's just say it was a LONG day! We had some great Thai food for dinner and passed out. ha.
Today we went to the Royal Palace it was amazing. I will try to get pics up as soon as I can. Bangkok is MUCH cleaner than I thought, especially in comparison to Cambodia. The people are really nice and have been very helpful today. I wish we had more time to explore different parts of the city. I know there are crazy sex-crazed parts but we haven't run into it yet- other than prostitutes. Tomorrow evening we are headed to the south of Thailand for some island hopping. We booked this package thingy through the government of Thailand's tourism agency and are supposedly saving a bunch of money- tax free. We will see.
Hope all is well with everyone. I am having a blast, but I am thinking about home in the back of my head. I am so excited to see you- but living completely in the moment.
More later. Love. xoxo
