Hello from Thailand!

Greetings from Thailand and welcome to our blog! We've been here for about a week but it seems a lot longer than that. After 24 hours of traveling from New York to Thailand (with a stopover in Abu Dhabi), making the trip to Chiang Mai via the night train from Bangkok, we're glad to say that things are slowly becoming more and more normal. We already have a ton of strange tales from our brief time here. We've stayed in about four hotels/youth hostels, met countless funny/weird characters, and have seen more giant lizards and bugs than a person should see in their entire lifetime.

Thailand seems like a pretty funny place, and it'll be crazy to spend an entire year here, but Chiang Mai is an incredible, low-key city with tons of things to do.

We hope you enjoy our blog!




Here are some photos from our first few days here:

We had a tiny lizard living in our bathroom in Miami last weekend... He was much cuter than the one in those pix...

I heard on NPR this morning that some guy who refused to stand up at a movie to honor the king might be thrown in jail for 15 YEARS!! Don't dis the king guys, you will pay.
