I am safe!
After being in Chiang Mai (north part of Thailand) for a couple days I decided to go to Pai (just outside Chiang Mai). I'll be heading back to Chiang Mai tomorrow.
I haven't really been able to get a good internet connection here so I really don't know what's going on in Bangkok (south part of Thailand), doesn't sound good though. I am not there and not affected by the floods at all.
expect a whole bunch of posts and photos when I get back to Chiang Mai
I've decided that I'm done with Thailand for now. From the hostel we signed up for a mini van to take us to Chiang Kong, the border town for Laos, and see what we could get up to there. We lucked out on the van and got the seats right at the front so we got a whole bunch of leg room. So it was Nisha, Selena, & I and then the rest of the van was filled with 8 other guys from the UK and the driver. This was one of the best road travel trips I have had so far. The driver let one of the guys plug in his ipod so we were listening to more western tunes and we had the most random conversations the whole time. Along the way the first rest stop we went to was part of a cashew nut factory. I was really surprised how big the fruit was and how small the nut you got was. Inside there was a huge room with samples of all different flavours of cashew nuts and of course i tried them all and didnt buy anything. The next stop we made was at the white temple. More in the next blog post.
glad you're ok, been thinking about you
