TravBuddy.com: Myradew's same same but different Thailand 2001 travel blog Copyright 2005 TravBuddy LLC http://www.travbuddy.com/blogs/7471 I was fresh from my Europe trip. Still jobless and after recuperating physically and financially. I decided to join Su to Thailand. We went up to Bangkok and met up with her group of friends and decided to go to Chiang Mai to trek up to the Karen settlements. We parted ways with the group and we went Island hopping to Krabi, Ko Lanta, Ko Phi Phi and southern Thailand. Su left a week after, I stayed and continued on to Ko Phangan, Ko Samui and more days in Bangkok. en-us Thu, 01 Mar 2001 06:25:33 PST Ayuthaya http://www.travbuddy.com/travel-blogs/7471/Ayuthaya-Ayuthaya-2 Thu, 01 Mar 2001 06:25:33 PST Ayuthaya Ayuthaya, Thailand, Mar 01, 2001
