Trying again.....it still reads in Thai for me!!

Glad to see it posted in English..........what a trip it is here. I am just guessing on which button to click on!

I am still a tad sick and today will go to the pharmacy to get some antibiotics, this cold is lingering and I do not want to get the elephants sick!!!!

People are remarkably friendly but it is hard to tell sometimes what is really going on. Mady and I ended up last night in the fantasticly beautiful place, paying more than we wanted because according to him he did NOT have our reservation for the cheaper rooms. We watched the woman in Bangkok call him, he seemed slimy but then once we agreed to stay, cause it is a tad out of town from the center of Sukothai, suddenly he was our best friend!!!

Have decided to head for Chiang Mai tomorrow and then to a small town of Pei not too far from the Burmese border (don't worry, it is quite safe). Mady will go trekking and I will take a Thai cooking class. I feel under the weather enough that I really want to save my energy for the elephants. They have cooking classes where you go shopping for the ingredients and then come back a cook. You can take one for up to 3 days!!!! We shall see.

Thank you for your notes, it is nice to have communication from there as well, mostly cause it is in English and easily read!

bye for now

I'm sorry you are sick. How swell that you are taking a cooking class in Thailand. You'll have to fix us something when you get home.
