Well I am back as of Monday night. 45 degree change in temp. It was 35 when I left Bangkok and -7 here with snow. I dont think I had a day under 35 degrees. It is the hot season there so temps over 40 where almost everyday. I tanned before I went and it didnt help much. SPF 45 and 20 mins in that sun still equal a burn.
It was a good trip. No real complaints. Food was great. People are nice. Some other travellers who go evey year mentioned to us prices in Thailand have doubles in 2 years and tripled in the past 4.
My only issue was the snow when I got home. I had put my summer rims and tires on before I left (my nokians were not holding up with the +10 degree weather). It was a chance I had to take. It was a bad one. Left my car at a friends house on a ranch in Cochrane. Snow was so high I moved 10 feet and got high centred. Pulled me out with his durango, but on the way out of his driveway the car went into the ditch. By the time we got it out all the plastic was ripped off the underside of the car. Belly pan is gone....shredded. Wheel well plastic all came off. I was going to order the metal belly pan from Dieselgeek before I left so it would be waiting for me when I got home. I didnt and now have to wait the 3 weeks for it to get here. Took the better part of 3 hours to fix the wheel wells today. I babied it home that night afer hitting a car wash to try and get the snow out from under it. Nice and compacted.
So I cant remember who on this site was heading to Thailand next but if you want any advice or have questions let me know.
