After what seemed like endless hours, days of travel we finally landed in Bangkok. I felt like l had returned to visit an old friend.
The site of her brings a smile to my face and the smell of her brings a flood of memories. I really do love it here!

That sounds like it should be a song title… “Night Train to Bangkok.”
Anyhow, We have left northern Thailand and headed south. After 14 hours on a train from Chiang Mai to Bangkok we jumped inot vans and ended up in Pattaya - a massive tourist area.
We visited a children’s home where we cleaned the building, […]
Hi again everyone,
Sorry we haven’t posted anything in a couple of days. We’ve been traveling across northern Thailand and have had limited access to internet.
