A Rambling Writer Rerun: Exploring Thailand, part 1: Preview

And now for something completely different: Thor and I made our first trip to Asia — the beautiful country of Thailand. Join us for a virtual vacation!

NOTE: Due to health issues, Thor and I haven’t been able to do much travel the past few years, so here’s the start of our Thailand trip from 2020. Escape from our new American dystopia to a country as beautiful and colorful as a dream! I’ll interrupt the reruns with occasional book review or Geezer Adventures….

We were lucky to squeak through the pandemic flight closures this winter (2020) as we returned from our three-week trip. Since more travel has now become a distant prospect, we hope you’ll take a virtual vacation with us in the following weeks. Let’s dip our toes in with a glimpse of the sights from Bangkok to Koh Samui to the jungle wilderness of Khao Sok to Phuket and the Andaman Sea. Hold onto your hats!

The best way to get around bustling Bangkok is on a water “bus,” with many temples along the river (top photo). The heat and crowds and mind-boggling ornamented palaces and temples were a lot absorb in our jet-lagged state, but we bought shade umbrellas from a streetside vendor and went with the tourist flow. A must-see city!

I’m posting my complete blog entries on my own author website at www.sarastamey.com, where you can finish this episode and enjoy all the accompanying photos.
