11-10 (Friday)

After breakfast we went to the internet to research a place, Isaan, in northern Thailand where we thought we might go next. After researching we decided it wasn’t the place for us. We came up with a new place, Phitsanulok which is between Bangkok and Chaing Mai. Next we had to decide how we were getting there. We were going to fly to Singapore and then hop a train to Bangkok and on to Phitsanulok. This sounded easy but it wasn’t. You have to buy tickets in Singapore, again in KL and again when you get to Thailand. If it weren’t for all our luggage, especially mine, I think we would have attempted it. It’s more complicated than I described because of the money and visas so . . . we’re flying from Densapar to Singapore and on to Bangkok on Monday. We’re going to try to spend one night in Bangkok because of the flight and train schedules, leave our bags at the hotel and go on to Phitsanulok the next day.

After hours on the net we headed out to have lunch and get some more money!

Tonight we went back to the net to make all our reservations. Joyce went back to the room and I stayed a couple hours trying to catch up on my blog. Information about our reservations came back from Wired Destinations and Singapore Air – I accidentally deleted both before reading them!! We’ll just have to try to figure something out tomorrow.
