So, it has been 4 days since the last time we wrote anything for our blog. Becky overheard a discussion about “the dog ate my homework” and how that in Thailand one could use elephants as an excuse. So, our excuse for a lack of blog posts is “an elephant ate our blog posts!”. Other…

Becky has had this song going through her head since we arrived in Bangkok: One night in Bangkok and the world’s your oyster The bars are temples but the pearls ain’t free You’ll find a god in every golden cloister And if you’re lucky then the god’s a she I can feel an angel sliding…

51 km, 3h 45 min Over the last few days we have been feeling progressively more tired. We decided that it was time for a bit of a break, so rather than riding further along up the coast, we hopped on the train to Bangkok to visit with Jenny and Jay, folks from http://warmshowers.org who…
