The Stilt City
September 16, 2007
I've got this thing about needing to walk across bridges--in Surat Thani it turned out to be the best thing I did... After wandering along a semi-country road for a bit I crossed this footbridge to... an entire town built on stilts! Absolutely amazing! This narrow walkway weaved its way on and on between the houses, shops, billiard clubs--everything a town needs. I did get cornered by dogs a couple of times--not a whole lot of options in a narrow walkway... but I figured, even if I do get bitten, the whole experience will still be more than worth it. After wandering to my hearts content I took a taxi (aka dugout canoe) back to Surat Thani.
