Hey All, We are back home in Vernon. Got in last night at 3:00am. It feels very odd to be back - its a yin and yang thing. I met some great Thai people that I am really going to miss - but who knows - maybe they will come visit. It is just so hard for the average Thai person to earn enough money to travel out of Asia. Most Thais make around B6,000 - B8,000 a month. That's like around $200 - $275 a month. The farmers and low end jobs pay around $60 - $80 a m...

Hi All, Tomorrow we leave to go to Krabi. Gavin and I are meeting up with Deb, Nicole and Rob for a couple of days here in Koh Phayam. I highly recommend spending some time on this island if you plan to travel to Thailand.
