New name, same girls!

I totally did 15 days in carry on luggage
The humidity was darn near unbearable and you prayed for the sun to go away. As for Mosquitos, downtown was not bad but anywhere else we went, we were being bitten throughout the day. When I followed my plan of permethrin-coated clothes plus insecticide for exposed parts, I was completely successful in avoiding bites. When I skipped insecticide once, my feet were covered and it took the zap-it, cortisone cream and antihistamine to keep me from drawing blood from scratching.
The fashion was really neat to observe and waaaaaay less conservative than it was made out to be. I could have bought so many clothes there, but my immobility put a real damper on it.
The food was to die for! Omg, I didn't know what I was eating half the time (we had people order for us) but it was delicious. You know what's crazy? They are really good at Italian food. I never would have expected that. DH's cousin would only order that and we would try it and wow! Indian food was good too. I'm told the phö was outstanding. America/Western European was meh. We made it about a week before needing to take peptoB everyday...TMI, I know
We finished moving earlier this week, so I'm not doing great. This has been a rough week. DH is already saying he may not want to stay here. It was his idea to move down here in the first place.

a friend was just over there in may... right when they declared martial law. what terrible timing. lucky for your party it ended before you guys went.
sad that you had to travel with people only interested in seeing the insides of malls (tho, to be fair, there was a/c and no mosquitoes...) but glad you got some culture in there despite all that.
looks like i'm on your schedule now... this is what happens when i don't have to be at work at 830.

Were you a part of organized tours? Would you recommend taking an organized tour of Thailand?
Usually, I try to avoid organized tours (longer than 1 day) because I don't like being around crowds of people all the time and going at their pace. Organized tours are also much more expensive than what I usually do, but I would be a bit more worried in a country with more of a langage barrier. If you have a few extra minutes, PM me your thoughts.
