No matter what quality of accommodations you find...don't eat your snickerdoodles in bed. There are ants. Everywhere. A lot of them. And all their friends. Apparently they come with the room.
Amazing food grows wild. Bananas, papayas, and coconuts oh my...they grow like veritable weeds around here! Yay!
Your shower is your entire bathroom. Don't forget to remove your tp and bath towel. Yep..learned that one the hard way. And yes, the bathroom floor and your toilet seat are permanently wet.
Oh yeah..."the bum gun".... It seems like a weird idea but you get used to it. There is hardly ever toilet paper, but almost always a bum gun (you know, it looks like the sprayer thingy next to your kitchen faucet but conveniently appears next to toilets or toilet-like holes in the ground). I found them annoying at first but I know one day I'll miss them.
Flip flops are suitable footwear for ANY and ALL occasions in the country and everyone here knows it. Why bother bringing anything else? I've worn my sneakers a total of...never.
(I know that will change because I'm going Trekking!)
In Thailand you have bills with 1,000's on them. So what if it means you have about 30 dollars. You feel like a zillionaire.
Smile. Everyone here is nice. That's right. Everyone.
The best part? Thai people love veggies! Thank gawwd! The food is AMAZING! Curries, coconut soup, fresh herbs, chilies...don't even get me started about Tom Kha...yum yum and yum!
Oh Thailand, I love you so. Thank you for all your magic, warm waters, stunning sunsets, laid back-totally chill vibe, and your super kind-friendly faces. I will be back some day for sure!
Now, I prepare to transition to the next adventure... (Dramatic music...) Kathmandu, Nepal!
Mantra of the day: I am so happy and grateful I trust in the universe!
