Thailand: the beginning of an endless bus ride

Yes, Bangkok was the first stop on our tour. This was a time of cultural shocks, grand displays of golden temples, running from rain storms, and the pungent aroma of street food EVERYWHERE. To top it all off, it was really incredible just joking around with Tyler and Glen.

 
 

That night we took a train south. It was really great because they let us pretty much climb outside the train as we drove, so we watched the sun rise over Thailand's southern peninsula...pretty stunning. We were then shuffled around on several buses, trucks, and tuk tuks to finally end up in Ao Nang...rock climbing paradise. Imagine rock climbing on mother of pearl limestone cliffs jutting out of an azure ocean. Or you can just look at the picture of it. 

 

 This innocent looking band of thugs stole fruit from Tyler and me on separate occasions. And I'M the bad guy in this story for punching a monkey?! They know what they did...

The food was so amazing...I especially loved the mango shakes, but the pad thai and curry weren't bad either.
