Today I have to leave the Kingdom of Thailand and it is hard! I love the bustling city life in Bangkok, the country lifestyle of central Thailand and of course the famous Thai beaches. It's unfortunate that I didn't get to head north to Chang Mai, but I'm running short on time and the area has suffered from headline-making floods. Many of the roads are impassable, so I will save northern Thailand for my next SE Asia adventure.
I'll close Thailand with a list of things I didn't expect to see the orange-robed monks doing:
Talking on cell phones
Bathing in the river
Using the ATM
Carrying a chicken through the street
Handwashing their robes
Buying high tech computer equipment
Standing next to the "For Monks Only" seats on water ferries
Riding three at a time on a motorbike
And of course, taming tigers!
