Heat tolerance, you ain't seen nothing yet.
In a matter of mere hours, I’ll be en route to Bangkok via LAX (insert Ana Lucia reference here) and Tokyo, for my first multi-week vacation in years, across Southeast Asia. Magically, my vacation is only partially scheduled, as the core intention is to attend a college friend’s wedding, after which I’m heading to northern Thailand with another college friend to spend time with her family, followed by a few days of relaxation in Laos, a flight to Siem Reap, on-wards in Cambodia and back to Bangkok.
As I type this, I’m contemplating what t-shirts and sundress (and nutrition bars, Dr. Bronners and emergency bag of nooch) I want to spend the next month with, and hoping my back survives while my mind and tastebuds are blown.
If you have any recommendations, please, do share. You can also email me at GetSconed AT gmail.com.
I’m sure I’ll return with photos galore in 2012, but for now, if you wish to peer into my adventure, here’s my silly travel blog (which led me to realize how many times I’ve abandoned a baby tumblr in the past – we’ve all been there), inspired by an inside joke with my brother and my friend, Bahar. Time will tell if I keep it up…
Wow! That sounds so exciting – I hope you have a fabulous time and I can’t wait to see pictures.
Have the best time ever!!! My only recommendation is a packing one: ziploc bags and duct tape. They come in handy!
Have an amazing incredible time!!!
You don’t need any more advice! <3
Some useful phrases we learned while filming in Thailand:
“di chan keen jay” = I eat vegan (female form)
“mai sai nom pla” = Don’t put fish sauce (in my food)
“mai sai ga bay” = Don’t put shrimp paste
“mai sai nam mon hoy” = Don’t put oyster sauce
If you say most or all of these, they will get it!
Have a blast.

Wow! Have an amazing time. I’m going to Japan, China, South Korea, vietnam, and Thailand next March as part of my MBA program. I can’t wait. I would love a full report of your culinary experience, as I have been seriously considering taking a vegan hiatus just because I don’t want to miss anything food-wise. Safe travels!
Bam!

The one I went to is behind the Burger King on Khao San Rd. That’s the “farang” hangout area, so you might feel a little more at home there with all the other foreigners.
=-)
May Kaidee is a must in Bangkok. I went there last winter and really liked it.
You might want to print the word vegan from this page :http://www.uproar.org.au/vegan-thailand/
It saved me at a restaurant where people didn’t speak English and didn’t understand the Thai words I was trying to say.
Can’t wait to read about your trip.
