Last night we arrived in Bangkok and took a cab out to our destination about an hour away. We are in a beach town called Bang Saen (not touristy) staying in a cheap apartment type building. It is really simple, but clean and quiet. We got here around 8PM and went out across the street for our first Thai meal! It was so good, but very, very spicy! Today we went to the beach and experience the most vendors I have ever seen in my life. 5km of beach umbrellas with people selling everything possible. We were the only whites and the only people on the beach wearing swimsuits (Thais swim completely clothed). Dan made friends right away with some drinking Thai men/boys and they paid for him to go out behind a boat on a banana floaty. That was hilarious.
