Good bye Thailand ~ Hello Laos


What a wonderful month we had in the islands (not counting the two days with the rude Russians).  Always one of our favorite places to be. Life is idyllic. We got stronger physically. Calmer mentally. And very in touch with nature. All of the young workers who made our stay in Samui were an integral part of the charm.

Lek, Daada, Pond, Way, Smile, Wat, Oliver, Ott, Pet and Ahm ~ they took care of us, fed us, brought us towels, served our drinks, made our many cuppacchino, and even captured the huge gecko that hid in our room.  So many more that remain nameless- cooks in the kitchen, the precious three girls that daily cleaned our room (Sweep, Giggle and Mop) and all the gardeners who made the grounds beautiful. It takes a village for sure!  They all treated us with kindness and graced us with hugs goodbye. 

Now it was back to Bangkok for one night. We stayed at the Park Nine Hotel close to the airport as we had a very early flight the next morning. We were totally surprised by the modern, polished, contemporary hotel. Like another world.  Had a real Vodka Tonic with Kettle One that was so tasty in the bar. Ate a last delicious Pad See Ew.  All in all a lovely ending to a wonderful two months in Thailand.
