Day 64: One Day in BKK

Arriving in Bangkok an hour early (around six in the morning), we were exhausted and not exactly looking forward to the next 24 hours of not having a bed to lay down in and more travel. Instead of another day of coffee shop hopping, we ended up camping out at a rooftop pool on Kao Sarn Road. This is a major touristy road in Bangkok, that is a little fun for the first time, but after two (or more) it's not. I was relieved to escape to several stories above the clothing and food vendors, Gangnam Style blasting (on repeat), and the tourists eager to get their drink on. We camped out, slept, swam, left our bags while we went out for lunch (and then dinner), and even showered before heading off to the airport to catch our 1:00 AM flight to New Delhi.

We didn't really sleep… But had we been coherent, there would be a picture on board our Indigo flight to New Delhi, and then when we were camped out in New Delhi's airport in the morning.

Day 61: A Pool in Pai

We would have stayed longer in Pai if we hadn't already booked a room back in Chiang Mai for tonight… It's one of those places that is inevitably hard for everyone to leave. Even as I waited outside of our mini-bus to leave this afternoon, one of the other passengers hopped out "to have one last cigarette in Pai" he said with a Spanish lisp. He asked what we did in Pai, and nodded wistfully when I responded "Not much really, we hung out around town. Today we went swimming…"

It's just one of those places where people don't judge when you admit to not doing much.

See why we didn't want to leave?
