"Sawa-dee ka" must now be changed to "Sabai-dee".
A event-less night. No fuss. No bedwetting. No falling off the upper bunk. The children find it interesting to sleep on train.
At 9 am in the morning we arrived in Nong Khai and crossed over the Mekong River by another shuttle train. Jon waved goodbye to Thailand.
Thailand, a place of fascination! Beaches, night life, history, culture, Buddhism... You can find it all here.
We used to live here, back in 2000. This is the country where Dave and I got married and where San-San was conceived. There is a mixed feeling. I know how sleazy and dangerous this country can be. However at the same time, it never fails to amaze
me how simple the people are. "Mai Ben Rai" which means never mind is a phrase constantly used with a smile. They are fiercely loyal to their king and sincerely religious. To see so many Buddhas images everywhere is such a blessing!
As we bid farewell to this amazing country, I sincerely hope that Dharma continue to flourish here.
