Thailand Part 1
If New Zealand and Nepal were on Mandy’s list of places we absolutely could not miss on this trip, Thailand was mine. I’ve been wanting to see this place since I first started reading other bloggers’ posts about it, years ago when we started planning this trip. There was something magical about it. A devoutly buddhist population with a reputation of being the most friendly in Southeast Asia, delicious food you won’t find anywhere else, and, of course, the parties. Full Moon, Half Moon…just because it’s a Tuesday….there’s always something going on in Thailand. I wanted to experience as much of it as I could and that’s why we got our 60 day visas here. We’d use about 53 of those days before we left and it was everything I had hoped it would be and so, so much more.
Malaysia
Our first land border crossing in southeast Asia would happen going from Singapore to Malaysia. The bus pulls up, you get out (don’t forget your passport!) and get in line. What usually happens is the immigration officer looks at your photo, looks at you, looks back at your passport, stamps it, and hands it back to you without saying a word. This would change when we entered England (STAY TUNED!)
