Tuesday, Sept. 16- 4 AM Bangkok
I can’t go back to sleep. I’ve been up for the last 30 to 45 minutes wondering what to do with myself. I am wide-awake. It’s way too early to get ready for the day, so I’m in bed wondering what I should wear for today’s journey. I set aside shorts last night before bed, but we are traveling to the most northern part of Thailand. "Most northern” to be usually means cooler climate, but what exactly does “cooler climate” mean in a country that averages 80 degrees or more with crazy humidity?
Today we depart Chiang Mai and head to Chiang Rai and the Golden Triangle region. The drive is about three hours to the area of Mae Sai. The original plan is to take a boat ride on the Mekong River to the Golden Triangle, which borders Burma, Laos and Thailand. For an extra 100 baht, which is about $2.84 US/person, we can ask the boat driver to take us to Laos. It sounds like a good deal to me, and a cheap way to mark off another country off of my list of places to see.
It’s now 4:18 AM and I’m going to try and get at least 45 more minutes of shuteye.
