We haven’t written in a few weeks, but we’re still here.. in fact we’re in what might be our favorite country thus far! Taking trains through Singapore and Malaysia (stories for future posts) we arrived in Southern Thailand. Three days in Ko Phi Phi Don (where the 2000 film “The Beach” was shot) allowed us to relax and catch up with a couple of friends from NYC. It was ggggorgeous and full of backpackers!

Next: Bangkok — a cosmopolitan city with an international flair. We’ve found that the city is quite easy to navigate as non-Thai speaker and has a lot to offer (such as over 400 temples to visit). So far we have visited Chinatown, Siam Square and the largest reclining Buddha in the world.
