Thailand

Justin and I have been in Thailand for almost one week now. We started in Bangkok; a busy city full of beautiful temples and people looking to make a quick buck off of the tourists. We saw two of the major temples, both full of golden Buddha statues, and a few other things and then left for the small city of Pak Chong near Khoa Yai National Park. The city of Pak Chong was wonderful; no one was yelling at us to buy touristy things, the people were super friendly, and everything was really cheap. We got to and from the National Park through a lot of hitchhiking and ended up hiking an 8km trail (guide suggested strongly) and swam in a beautiful pool by a waterfall. After Pak Chong we went to Sukothai, a town famous for the ancient ruins at the old city. The ruins were really incredible: lots of old temples and giant Buddhas. It's incredible waht people made by hand hundereds of years ago.
Right now we are in Chaing MAi- a huge tourist city. Today we got soaked by rain while we looked for a guest house, drank good coffee, and then got an hour massage for under 4 dollars! It was great. We are trying to take some cool pictures, so ho[pefully I'll put a bunch online once we are back in Korea.
