Thai Travels

I thought I'd put together a central spot to keep you all informed of my progress in Thailand.

Buak Hat Park


Nature came calling rather aggressively, (this 5" frog is 4 feet up the door) so we decided maybe we should return the favor...

We made it outside! ...To go sleep in a park. We went into the old part of town for Rozie's trip to the accupuncturist (where she found out we officially had "red spot dengue", according to the old Chinese terminology. It's the worst of the four kinds, by the way. But we're not proud.) K found that waiting in the bookstore was a little too tiring, so we rested by the moat that surrounds old Chiang Mai. It was built in the 12th century and is filled with fish. But it has an elaborate pumping system, so there are no mosquitos incubating in it! Then we took a spin around the boulevard, and rested in Buak Hat Park. It was a very nice park - 10 baht (~$.30) will rent a grass mat to lie down upon. It was a good amount of exertion for us. Here's some of the sites from our big day.
