(4/28 - 4/30)
We left Koh Phi Phi on the 28th and took the ferry to Krabi. We stayed at the Pak-Up hostel which, coming from the dirty, grimy conditions of The Rock, felt like a 5 star resort. Hot showers with free soap and shampoo. We even had air conditioning and there wasn't a cockroach in sight. We stayed at Pak-Up from the afternoon of the 28th to the afternoon of the 30th. On the 30th we hopped on an overnight bus to Bangkok. We arrived in Bangkok May 1st at 6am and checked in to a small hotel located off the main backpackers street, Khao San Road. Tomorrow was the big day! Kevin and I were boarding a Qatar Airways flight bound for Hanoi, Vietnam. I had mixed emotions about leaving Thailand. I had seen some amazing places, met amazing people and had become completely enamored with Thai food and culture. However, we were about to begin a new phase in our travels! That night we went out to celebrate our last night in Thailand. I tried some unusual food that night.
The scorpion tasted salty and crunchy. I would definitely eat one again, however, it wasn't nearly as good as the fried crickets and waterbugs we ate in Changmai. Again, a great night in Thailand! Beers with buddies and a few fried bugs. Not to mention a great Thai blues band that played everything from Cash to the Mommas and the Poppas.
