Backpacking in Asia

July 2002 we took the plane to Bangkok without any specific tavel plans. Our goal was to reach Singapore within the next 3 1/2 week. Meeting Bangkok can be a scary experience but we fell immediately for its charm - the tuk tuks, thai boxing, the restaurants such as Indian Hot, shopping etc. If you disapprove the capital take off to one of the many the islands. Koh Tao offers inexpensive diving certificats. Koh Samui has many party places. Explore the island on a scooter. Further south, you will find Malaysia where they use cyclos in stead of tuk tuks. Where the people are muslims and not buddhists. Unfortunately, you can get ill and have to go to the hospital. Sadly, this was out destiny in Georgetown.
