A city of undefined millions and hub of capitalism. Even though I was only a little past a week in Cambodia I am experiencing culture shock from leaving a third world country. However it seems like certain prices here are cheaper such as food and drink. I just finished a great Pad Thai with shrimp and fresh papaya juice for 5 dollars at a hotel where my room cost me 6 USD. In Bangkok, many travelers talk to each other, I have met a couple and so far I have gotten many great ideas...
Go to exotic Chiang Mai in the North or to the exotic Koh Islands in the south?

Wow! Are Thailand's cities so drastically different that Cambodia's? Pad thai- yum! Just be careful of the shrimp- shrimp farming is responsible for a lot of environmental degradation in Thailand... So happy to hear that you are making friends. Traveling alone sounds so fun because you are forced to interact more with others. That's not to say that I wouldn't love to be traveling with you now! How are your tour books working out for you? Speaking in thai yet? Thank you for making frequent entries- it's fun to read your comments. Stay safe!
Have you really escaped any type of sickness during your trip? I heard that usually people have an early bout of sickness as they travel to faraway places- an adjustment for the stomach! I guess that many people experience the same thing in Mexico, too. But you didn't there, either? Are you living on bottled water? Love you.
