So, yesterday Meg and I made the decision to use the rest of our days on the trip on the island of Ko Samui, doing the beachtown thing, rather than visiting Bangkok a few days before our flight leaves on the Second. We took a few things into consideration before making these plans: we heard from other travelers and Thai locals alike that Bangkok is too busy and hectic and isn't worth visiting for too long, also, we had the chance to briefly see Bangkok on the day that we waited for a bus to the islands, and finally, plane tickets from Samui to Bangkok are much cheaper than we anticipated. Thus, yesterday we purchased airplane tickets from Ko Samui to Bangkok on the evening of June First, and we plan to stay in the Bangkok airport for roughly ten hours before our flight is due to leave towards Seattle on June Second.
However, ever since we have booked these tickets the weather has gotten progressively worse and today the rain began to pour. Therefore, it is undetermined if we will spend the next few days sunbathing on a beach or drinking coffee indoors. So please don't mock us if we cease to have a tan when we return home.
We love you all and hope all is well.
