Hello from Thailand!
First of all the heat is insane! wow my body is struggling to adjust to the heat temp. Bangkok was 35+ during the day - no breezes or ocean waters to cool off. The one day in Bangkok was enough for mwe to get started especially after 2 ful days of travelling. I missed my first connection to Tokyo so I had to spend the night in San Fran. Khoa San Road in Bangkok was pretty cool though you could buy anything from sunnies- to tanks to watches etc! all for a few bucks each - defs good hot spot for shopping!
After a few transfers, a 12 hour night train and a ferry my crew and I made it to Koh Phangan -first island! What a beautiful place it is! We have been passing the time with beaching, volleyball, buckets (booze buckets that is) and beach parties! We defs started the trip off with a bang- then came my first Thailand hangover - imagine your worst hangover times it by 5 and then place yourself in 30+ degree heat - such a rough go! haha
My free and Easy crew is pretty fun so far- there are 21 of us in total and seem to be here for alot of R&R! Big spread of people too, we have some students, a bunch of people working, and a few just outta highsschool! Still warming up to people but we will all get aquainted soon enough!
We have another couple days in Koh Phangan (home of the full moon party which i will be attending later this month with a few remaining travellers from my group) before we head over to Khoa Sok one of the national parks. My leaders say it is one of their favourite places in Thailand.
I am surprisingly missing home a bit and all the wonderful people in my life. you are on my mind often and I send my love!! (L)
