We are greeted at the airport by a blast of hot air, oh sweet precious heat! I wonder which of us will be the first to complain about being hot? Meanwhile we peel off the jackets and grab a taxi to our hotel. As we’ve spent a fair amount of time in Bangkok we don’t feel the need to do any sight seeing. We wander the city trying to stay clear of the protest sites but somehow seem to end up in the middle of them! From what I did see the protests are quite peaceful, almost festive like, vendors are selling their wares, food stands and tents set up where once cars and bikes owned the roads.
There were spots where getting through was tough and taking taxis or tuk tuks was out of the question so we found a new way around by boat taxi on the canal and that worked just great.
Just a few days here and then off to Hua Hin and the beach!
Over 2 months of traveling, while enjoyable, can also be quite draining so we decide to take some time and just chill. We head south about 2 hours from Bangkok and spend almost 2 weeks in the Cha’am/Hua Hin area. Here we soak up the sun, walk the long stretches of beach, laze by the pool and catch up with some reading. Glorious!
After lazing around Hua Hin we head back to BKK and get ready for our trip to Nepal.
