We made it to Bangkok after an excruciating 10 hour bus ride. The distance should have taken about four hours but the Thai transport company responsible for border crossing has a fool proof system. Every forty minutes or so they would stop at a restaurant or shop owned by one of their families so that tourists would do what tourists do best..spend money. It works in most cases, unfortunately it doubled travel time.
Nathan is feeling a little under the weather after the journey. He spent the morning consulting webMD to come up with a diagnosis, even though I have already determined he has the flu. I returned to the hotel after a morning of perusing shops to learn that he believes himself to be suffering a mean case of lupus. This is a perfect example of why sick people shouldn't be allowed Internet access.
We'll be spending tomorrow in Bangkok then checking out the Tiger Monastery on the Myanmar border. I want to make sure we're both healthy before hanging out with 90 tigers that can smell an easy meal.
