Koh Chang

So after last post. The hostel I met Julie at sucked. It was an hour away from the good parts of Bangkok and it was devoid of personality. We cancelled the rest of the reservations and went back to the Phiman Water View. Best choice ever. The people I met there were awesome. The owner, Vee, told me to say hi to all the starfish on Koh Chang.

We only spent two days in Bangkok. The first day...well technically second, we went to the Grand Palace. I don't think I've seen anything that shiny and pointy in my life. Skydiving over the city would be a TERRIBLE idea. EVERYTHING is pointy and would skewer you on impact. Also, there was so much gold. Everywhere.

Yesterday we booked a tour to the floating market, the bridge on the River Kwai, and the Tiger Temple. The market was interesting, the bridge was alright (nobody knew the story behind it...including us), and the temple was awesome. I got to pet a bunch of tigers and got my picture taken with them.

Now its chill time on the White Sand Beach of Koh Chang for a week. We're staying at a pretty cool hotel right on the beach. After the whirlwind of Hong Kong, Macau, and Bangkok this will be really nice. We're even gonna go elephant trekking.

Back to munching on green curry and sipping coconut shakes.
