Thaliand

We spend 2 weeks in Thailand, and it was probably the best experience in terms of food and people we met. Thai people smile non-stop, and welcome new friends with open arms.


"TukTuk"


The preferred method of transportation around Bangkok. For 40-70 Baht (the equivalent of $1 - $2), one can travel from one end of the city to the other. This is a remodeled mop-ed, with noise abound, and stink without compare. The experience of sitting in a TukTuk, in rush hour traffic in bangkok, when everyone else's air-conditionar exhaust is blowing on your face - that is definitely roughing it!!


Pedro is not the kind of person you should mess around with... When he discovered we were not provided the wake-up call we asked for, the hotel was going to pay dearly.... We got one free night at the Sheraton Sukomvit, and additional nights for $80 a night (less than $30 per person for a luxurious hotel!)


He was also convinced that his calling card should be working. So he spent $450 in phone calls to Sprint's customer service line to fight with them and explain that the lack of access to his calling card is costing him dearly.


Pedro - we love you!
