After nearly 4 months moving around we decided to take some
time out. Travelling we now realize, especially on the
Indian Subcontinent, can be fairly exhausting and we were
feeling a little saturated from all the experiences and
impressions. We decided to head for Bangkok where we
previously lived for a year back in 2004/2005 and re-live
the life that we use to have there.
After a terrible 10 hour delay stuck in Dehli airport
transit area we finally made it to Thailand where we found
ourselves an apartment to stay with luxuries we’d missed
like cable TV and Internet. You can really live comfortable
life in Bangkok. It’s great value for money but at the same
time clean and modern, especially after being in India. This
time Bangkok felt spotless and even the air seemed clean
after Kathmandu.
We had a really nice month. We relaxed, made some plans for
the future, caught up with some old friends, we of course
indulged a little, but went to the gym 20 times to
compensate. We were also lucky to be in Bangkok during ‘Song
Kran’ the three day water fighting festival, the perfect way
to cool down in roasting temperatures of 38 degrees. The
only downside was the red shirt protests, which were
starting to get more violent in the days before we left. We
love Thailand and the Thai people and hope for everyone
there that the situation sorts itself out very soon. |
