Adios Bangkok

November 6,2010
Sunday

City noise has diminished considerably today, Sunday. We aren't bothered by the noise here at Golden Palace.
A lively conversation at breakfast with Rosemary and Yogi about the ladyboy districts of Thailand. The Vietnam war R&R was a great stimulator of this sex activity. Last night we journeyed to the hooker street, ate dinner at Seven Seas and watched the activities of the lady boys.
Rosemary told me that there is an island frequented by European women in search of young boys. Lonely Planet probably has the info.

We are preparing for the night train to Nong Khai. Departs tonight arriving tomorrow am at 8.

Costs of living this year.
Hotel is 1350 baht about $42. Per night w breakfast for both of us. Skytrain cost to Chattachack is 40 baht about $1.35 each way per person. Our main meals are running about $35. Train fare w sleeper is $40 per person. Massage varies 200-400 for foot massage of 1 hr.

The temp is most comfortable right now. So nice to not sweat all the time.

How are the elections going in Burma? They are tomorrow.
Good-bye for now.
