I guess my last babble about my trip did not make these pages. I was going on how last week was definitely "rainy season" for Bangkok. The city's high raise building were covered in grey clouds. It rained day and night. I compare that to my previous trips where it sunny and nipple dripping hot. Bangkok gets lazy when it rains all day. People just don't want to move around. I walk through the city as it rains, the looks I get from Thais is I must be totally crazy.
Laos is my next place to visit. I might spend 4 or 5 days, I haven't really decided on it. The cost to fly is about $500 US. I could save some money and take a 12 hour bus or train ride to the border. I wonder why both have the same length of time, but that is what the guide books say for the two. Half a day on the road or 2 hours by plane??? I see what I choose at the travel agent.
I off to eat some street food, later
