Hi everyone!
Just a quick update on what we've been upto since our guests left us two mornings ago. Had a wonderful time with Ammaji (Donna) and Ugg (Karl - inside joke for him there) and were sad to see them go.
Jay and I experienced our last little bits of Bangkok on Sunday - visiting the wonderful JJ weekend market (the largest open air market in the world!). Yesterday, we visited my old teaching town of Samutsongkhram, where we were warmly met by teachers and students alike...though they knocked down my old house to build condos, which was quite strange...
Last night, we were whisked off by Doug and Thom to Zense, the newest hotspot in Bangkok with a stunning panoramic view of the city. It was the perfect two days to end off our time in Bangkok, such a wonderful and vibrant city! Time to leave behind three weeks of beautiful accomodations, expensive dinners (neither of which we ever were able to pay for!) and excellent company. Back to slumdogging it, but we are anxious to get back into our own routine and see as much as possible in the next three months!
Today, we are flying to Chiang Mai (in Nothern Thailand) to enjoy a few days in the hills and jungle until we go overland into Laos. Looking forward to Laos a great deal, we have heard wonderful things about it and of course, no country has disapointed thus far.
Hope everything is well at home - I heard it is warming up? Good to know hehe.
More to come.
Lots of love,
Maeve/Jay

Dear beautiful Canadians,
ReplyDeleteLogged onto the computer you've been using while staying at the slum-slapinyourface millionaire place near Suwannapoum airport. And there your blog appeared. So I thought I would follow your moves and shakes in the land of a million elephants. Though you have to endure the land of a million rice fields first - which is easily done especially if you attend to one of the cooking schools in Chiang Mai.
Actually I just wanted to say big thanks for your dashing out the plastic fantastic at Zense. And most importantly: It was wonderful to meet you. You are as metioned at the beginning of my post a beautiful couple.
Go get Laosed and remember Bor Pen Yang is the answer to everything in Laos. In fact it is the Mai Pen Rai of lilliput-Laos.
Take care.
Best wishes,
Mikkel
Good Morning Maeve and Jay,
ReplyDeleteHome safe and sound. Thailand lingers with thoughts of you and Karl, and Doug and Tom, and Emilios and MJ. It's cold back home but momnetary flashes of sun are slowly melting away the snow. Safe travels. keep us posted.
Much lover D.
