Ko Chang Island

I was in pretty extreme pain when this picture was taken. I'm trying to SMILE (like the Pearl Jam song) here, but I had the worse earache I can remember.

This was similar to Bali in earlier 2014. Ending the trip on an island, with nothing to do for a few days but spend time with friends. I always wanted to let the little fish have at my feet and finally did. My friend and I rode motorbikes around the island and got some great pictures. Lot of Russians here, which surprised me.

Fun with friends in Trat

Very close to Cambodia, but we never made it there. I was happy to see my friends here & we ate excellent seafood.

My 35th birthday in Chiang Mai

This was unexpected. After a day in Chiang Rai, our driver took us here before dropping us off at the hotel. They had a good variety of macaron flavors. Besides that, Chaing Mai was the only Thai city I've visited where I could wear the same clothes 2 days in a row. It was just warm. Not humid & hot. This was a welcome change after starting in Songkhla province.

My 35th birthday in Chiang Rai

My 35th birthday in Chiang Rai. There's something amazing about arriving somewhere that you've been seeing in pictures for years! Also the 2nd year is a row that I spent my birthday in Thailand. I hope to spend my 36th there as well (or maybe Indonesia).
