Thailand on 48 hours of travel (Ian's Diary)

My brother Ian graduated from UMass in May 2007. He worked for my dad over the summer, spent some time in the Bahamas and in North Carolina, and then took off for a wild adventure in Thailand with his buddy Seth Beaudreault.

Because I find his Facebook notes so interesting, and because my parents aren't on Facebook, I will be posting his notes here. Enjoy!

Soooo, i made it to Thailand in one piece, and am about to go find the only other white person in the city of Khorat. (seth beaudreault)

SO i took a taxi from the airport with a guy who only knew enough english to RIP ME OFF! hahahahaha! but thats okay, im mr money bags here. THe cab driver dropped me at the bus station and i fumbled my way onto a bus out of Bangkok, because i haven't heard a single good think about bangkok. I'm actually not even sure if i'm in the right city, because i have no idea if i pronounced the city name correctly when ordering a bus ticket. And then the bus ride took about 5 hours longer than i expected. I had no idea where to get off too! Luckily, there was a man who came back and yelled the names of the places we were stopping.

I've been sleeping on plane seats, or bus seats, for the past two days. Haven't seen a real bed or pillow. I'm surprised my back is straight enough to sit in this chair.

This place is crazy! Awesome, and crazy. I have only eaten a Banana so far, because i don't want to prematurely start in on the bouts of diarhhea, i'd like to at least have a hostel with a bathroom before i eat anything, HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA!,

im a little crazed at this point, pictures and more posts later.
