Back to the Thai Baht bab-y!

So it’s Friday morning and I’m leaving for Thailand on the 12pm boat from Koh Kong to Hat Lek. I’m so looking forward to getting back to Thailand – great food, nice people, and beautiful country. I still haven’t decided if I’ll cycle back to Bangkok or just to Trat then bus it back the rest of the way…it’s going to depend mostly on what my friend Brent is up to. He’s the American guy that I met on Ko Pha-Ngan and then again on Ko Lanta for Christmas and New Year’s. After that he went to Sri Lanka and India and I went to Vietnam and Cambodia and anyway now we’re trying to meet up again in Bangkok before he flies home to start a business with his dad. His brother met him in Bangkok a few days ago and they went north for a bit and I’m hoping I can meet up with them so we can all head south and hit the beaches together. I’ve been trying to convince him to keep travelling and not settle down into the family business just yet but the pressure from home is caving him in. I think his parents sent his brother over to make sure he comes home!

Yesterday I spent the day on the beach reading a book. I hung out with Andrew the American in the morning before he left on a bus to Phnom Penh. It was nice to relax after 3 days of cycling that’s for sure! I hope the boat ride today goes smoothly with the bicycle. No more Vietnam Dong or Cambodian Riel – it’s back to the Thai Baht bab-y!
