Chom View Hua Hin

Yesterday we negotiated Bangkok public transportation and found our way to Hua Hin via a 3.5 hour "air conditioned" bus ride. We're trying to meet up with our friend Dawn, but so far no luck.

Last night we went to the night market and went wild; I'm going to have a hard time not bringing all of Thailand home with me in my ...

... on the way home, I literally ran from one minibus to jump on the next at Victory Monument in Bangkok, hadn't eaten all day, but it's good, on the way over on Monday the driver stopped 1/2 through the trip for a bathroom/snack break. Except this driver never stopped! I had to pee so bad, it was 3 pm and I hadn't had anything but a bottle of water which had now taken residence in my bladder, and no vehicles in Thailand have shocks ...

... of the temple. The most attractive point other than the Buddha's face are the soles of the Buddha's feet, 45 meters (150 feet) away from the head, which have been inlaid with mother-of-pearl to display the 108 auspicious signs which distinguish a true Buddha. Moreover, Wat Pho is also Thailand's oldest learning center and a respected Thai massage school that operates ...

... most frequently visited by those who LOVE to Scuba. Scuba is EVERYWHERE. Al and I don't SCUBA. So, what else was there to do? Plenty...but, the beaches were not that great (low tides?) and the ones that were breathtaking - take all of your breath to get there! With a recommendation from our friends, we headed out one day to go snorkeling off the shore in Alok Bay. We were a bit confused at first because we noticed that everyone had parked ...

... use the Latin name for my dive briefs and log books. In a cavity a giant Porcupine puffer fish staired with it big eyes resembling something fluffy you find in petshops with its scared cute big eyes. If you ever hug it will hurt. This fellow blow up to a ball when squized or scared and as it name say its full of spikes... But its cute and a great find for my divers. Than a Batfish swam along. I always have loved the batfish and swam by it ...

... the temple we were famished and drove back to Cha-am (the city our school and hotel are technically in) and ate lunch at a park, which had a nice beach and tire swings. Of course we took full advantage of the tire swings and acted like we were models posing for pictures swinging back and forth (all the gay guys got in on this one). On the way back we went to this place called Market Village in Hua Hin, which is basically a mall. This is the only place to get nice ...

... ikke helt hvilken vogn vi skulle paa siden vi skulle staa, saa vi gikk paa reisegods-vognen. En uniformert mann sa vi kunne sitte sammen med munkene paa vognen som var forbeholdt "Disabled, elderly and munks". Der foelte vi at vi hoerte hjemme. Vi fikk god kontakt med munkene som satt ved siden av oss... Vi moette mange forskjellige typer som kom av og paa - vi fikk til og med gaver av de andre reisende. Det ble en hyggelig ...

... where Dad will be proud to know I paid 4 crisp dollar bills for a small mocha!!) had various Chinese stuff (Made in Taiwan of course!! :)) and a hilarious series of little notebooks with a large bubble cat drawing on them (is this Hello Kitty??) and this text: 'I am BooBoo Kitty. I like Smily. Big Red Apple. I like it.' cool. :) Along with people hunched over steaming bowls at the noodle bar next to my gate--at about 7:30 in the morning, I guess ...
