สวัสดี “Sawatdee Kaa” Thailand!
My short trip to Thailand this January was a tremendous amount of fun. I loved the warm weather after being frozen alive in Korea. I appreciated every sweat drop that glistened on my forehead. I really am a summer girl – my body and my spirits are better when I am warmer. I got a lot of collective dissing that I wasn’t traveling outside of Bangkok for my 10-day stay but I found myself very busy trying to see and do and all the things in this big city. I did succeed in doing two short day-trips outside of Bangkok (one to Pattaya Beach & the other to the Rose Garden). Going farther afield almost requires another plane flight! I opted for the more relaxed style — viewing Bangkok & its surroundings slowly instead of rushing around in a haze of what-can-I-accomplish-in-so-many-hours (my typical style). Did a fair bit of window-shopping & Thai massages with my two female friends. Ate a lot of delicious food — Thai food was a bit too good, I ate myself sick. The temples were unbelievable — and they say that European palaces are extravagant?! If I were skilled in the arts of thievery (& unafraid of Thai prison conditions) I might have been tempted to chip away some bits of gold off the temple walls. lol Back in Korea now though, missing the warmth and dreading the return to real, working life.
