Chinatown, Bangkok
From Sukhothai it took seven hours by bus to Bangkok. This time we stayed in Chinatown at the New Empire Hotel and after much confusion the taxi found the place only after we called the hotel and got them to talk directly to the driver. Odd, considering the hotel was on the main road through Chinatown. The hotel was cheap and quite run down and …
Koh Samui is Fantastic!
... skin that came off was amazing (and disgusting) then she got me to feel it and said "see, like a baby" and it really did feel great. Then she wanted me to pay her 300baht to do the other foot but I told her we were on a budget and my husband wouldn't let me so they left (after a bit more bargaining).

Phangan Paradise!
... just....janky. That's the best way to describe it really.
We get to some random rest area thing words cannot describe, in the morning where they tell us we have to get off the bus and then another bus is going to come and take us to the boat in...about 2 hours. I got the feeling they just wanted us to buy food. And these are not normal rest areas- these are Thai rest areas. 5 Baht to use the toilet (30 baht is 1 US dollar) and just general disorder. ...
