I've decided I am going to Thailand. I've always wanted to go and I realized that nothing is really holding me back from just doing it, well, besides my job, but I've sort of given that a "Forces Pull-Out Deadline" sort of thing. Departure is sometime after Thanksgiving/beginning of December. I'm thinking 2 weeks. I'm thinking Bangkok, tuk tuks, Budda temples, Phuket, and a beach bungalow. I've had a couple friends visit so I have been hitting them up for more info. The great thing about Thailand is that it's cheap. About 1,000 Baht = approximately 31 U.S. dollars. Hotels in Bangkok run anywhere from 700 Baht t0 3,000. We are talking affordable travel here people. The biggest hit will be airfare. The flight is brutal. 13 hours to Taipei, Taiwan then another 3 to Bangkok. All I know is that I want to go here, here, see this, and definitely go here.
Right now, I'm going solo. Which I am completely fine with. I've read that Thailand is one of the safest places for lone travelers, just as long as you don't accidently try and smuggle drugs out of the county (has anyone seen Brokedown Palace? Gnarly movie) Anyway, I've heard the people are extremely kind and hospitable. But if anyone wants to go, I'm serious about this. No flakes allowed.
And when I get back, who knows. Maybe grad school, maybe California, maybe the freaking Peace Corps.
