Here are some of the observations I've made so far from my trip to Thailand:
1. The food is amazing. I haven't had a bad meal yet.
2. Squat toilets are really nothing to worry about... in fact I can see why people would say that they're more sanitary than western toilets. I mastered it quickly once I got over the fear of slipping into the hole. That being said, I wouldn't want to be sick and have to use one.
3. It's hot but not unbearable (at least not in Chiang Mai). It's a dry kind of heat.
4. The people are really nice.
5. Everything is very inexpensive - I've been living large for the last few days and have bought a lot of small little things for what is pennies. I can't fit much in my bag anymore... so I have to slow the buying down.
6. Internal flights are very cheap too. It's very easy to get from point A to point B no matter where you are.
7. You can bargain people down... and then you just start to feel bad because you realize that a hundred Baht are really just worth about $3 each... $3 isn't that much back home, it's a lot more here.
8. Did I say that people are really nice?
I'm having a great time. I've booked the next part of my trip - Phuket Island! I gotta go now though - the internet's run out!

So.. when do we get to see some pictures?
I was thinking about that on the train back from Chiang Mai this morning... I have hundreds (two memory cards full) of pictures right now. I'm going to go through them pick a few good ones out and then transfer them when I get to a proper internet cafe. Hopefully it'll be in the next few days.
