updates

1) i will stay in Bangkok the first night.

2) the elder ET is thinking of joining in the last part of the trip. I may skip Sangkhlaburi should that be the case since it doesn't seem to be on the route of most travellers (though that does make it more enticing as a destination..). Instead i will go to Ko Chang for some bumming on the beach. *grin*

ah well.. we'll see how that goes.. though it would be nice to have someone to do the bargaining for me at the markets: I am always torn between feeling bad about lowering their profits by what to me is a few cents and feeling pissed that they are overcharging me.

3)i forgot to mention that the underground in Bangkok finally opened earlier this week, and they'll be charging flat rates of 10B until August! The cheapskate in me is rejoicing...
