From Khaosan Road to Island Paradise

We've spent the last few days back in Bangkok, this time opting to stay in backpacker mecca Khaosan Road (scene of the H1N1 outbreak). Our lodging is a brand new 7-storey boutique hotel with roof-top pool and forty inch flat screen tv so we're feeling spoiled.

Since arriving we have eaten nothing but vegetarian/vegan food and Joe has never gone this long without eating a piece of meat. As boring as it sounds, we have found the best muesli ever complete with yogurt made from an in-house culture. Also we're both hooked on massaman curry and there are talks that the dish may enter Joe's top three all-time after 1)the hot dog and 2)texas style smoked ribs.

Now we head south to the beaches of Thailand. We have managed to find a place similar to Jungle Beach on Ko Phangan that rests on the less delveloped side of the island. The place is called Tree House Lodge and it appears to be another adult camp complete with DJ's, jungle movie nights, abundant lounging areas, and of course shuttle service to the full-moon party (August 6th). So we likely will be off the grid for up to a week but will update as soon as we can.

Bye for Now,

Joe and Nicole
