Mellow Bangkok Days
Posted by Stuart at 03:47 AM on August 20, 2002The last few days have been pretty mellow here in Bangkok. I have been looking around a bit for apartments. Small studios go for about $300 and one bedrooms for $400. So far I haven't really found anything that I love.
Ever since I have been in Thailand I have also been looking for a pool to practice in, and today I finally found one. It's a nice 50 M pool at National Stadium, right by the Skytrain. They were holding an age-group meet there today, but I will be sure to swim there soon.
Tomorrow night I am taking an 11 hour overnight bus to Chaing Rai, Thailand's northern-most province. I am meeting my friend Isara in Phan, and traveling around with him a bit. We are planning on going camping, hiking, and waterfall visiting in the national park there. Even though I am starting to settle into life in Bangkok, it will be nice to get some fresh air and see the countryside.
And yes, for those who have been nagging... errr... worrying about me, I DO have my malaria prevention pills now! :)
Yeah, it would be awesome, but you'd be making half as much money as well (if you're lucky!). So it's all relative...
I wish a one bedroom here cost $400. The money I'd be saving would be awesome!! :-)
Love you!!
