The beautiful pool and ocean front view of Koh Tao, Thailand.
One of my many favorite Indian meals: Egg Bhurji, Chapati, and Samosas, and all for about 60 rupees. ($1.50)
After purchasing some fruits and vegetables at the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, I took a boat ride through the surrounding canal village where the locals are living their daily routine. A quiet and relaxing neighborhood when the morning market comes to an end.
Thailand
Indians seldom like to slow down or stop for much at all including pedestrians, other vehicles, even hairpin curves in the mountain cliffsides. Although, when it comes to the sacred Hindu cows, they are free to roam the streets and never worry about being interupted by drivers. You must simply just wait until they decide to clear a path.
Crossing the boarder into Myanmar was the most unusual and exciting boarder crossing. Not only must you hire a young Thai boy for 100 Baht to take you the 30 minute journey in a rickety boat with a loud and exposed engine, but the immigration check point was also on the river. This Thai boy just untied the rope at the Thailand check point and is headed towards Myanmar down the river.
