@Ishihara @Apocryphiliac @Jezibaba 😆

years ago, while i was in the military (not the greatest way to see the beauty of a country) i got to spend some time in Thailand. I wish I remember the name of the area we were in but it was probably Pattaya. I had the oppty to go out and see some of the area while we were there-it was gorgeous. The Thai ppl were incredibly welcoming, and the most friendly ppl I have ever encountered.

@Apocryphiliac @FayreLylith @Ishihara I'm excited. we were planning before covid and then put on hold. It sucks.

@Jezibaba @FayreLylith @Ishihara I’ll share a couple of photos from my travels if you would like. To put you in the mood for all the incredible stuff you’ve got in store. 💚

@Jezibaba @FayreLylith @Ishihara Best of all are the friends you make on the way… which is another reason why I hate using travel agent tours and resorts. You don’t connect with the culture, the people, or fellow travelers the same. You have to get lost. The you can find what’s important. That’s my motto, anyway.

@Jezibaba oh my god.. and what a story it is. Truncated version is that the slow boat goes for two days from near Chaing Rai to Luang Prabang, and they will pack that sucker with people. Middle of the 2nd day, the motor blew. 😅😂

These are the guys who get the boat away from the rocks when the motor isn’t/can’t run.

@Apocryphiliac so they have people ready for just such an occasion? hahahha not today satan, we use our poles to keep us afloat.

@Jezibaba They’re crew who travel with you and dock/undock the boats. And try to sell you beer instead of providing water when your boat breaks down overnight and you have to sleep on a dirty wooden floor scattered amongst chickens. Lol. Yeah there’s some subtext. 😂

@Jezibaba To see Russia, if nothing else. 😂😂😂😉
