Definitely an experience.. I'm plan to take my trip to Vietname this year, meanwhile I'm still cruising aaround in China.
Lets know what happens in Laos. You stopping in China?
Hello! Hi Pamela! Your Thai cooking class sounded like the experience of a lifetime!! Chiang Mai sounds like a breathtaking place. Wow, when people say Thailand is cheap, they aren't kidding! Glad you are having such a great time. Can't wait to hear more of your stories:-) Take care, Love Colleen xoxoxo
Chef Extrordinaire Hey Pamela: Wow! You really are soaking up the culture. It sounds wonderful. I expect to be invited to your Thai Cookout when you get home. Good thing that you love the cuisine.
I really enjoy reading of your adventures.
Gibbons / Treehouse Experience Sabaidee from Canada. That Prairie Gypsy appears to be having tooooo! much fun, as Ronni would put it. I wonder if this Prairie Gypsy read some of the travelbloggers journals that I read, before she chose to embark on the Gibbons experience. I read one journal of a woman getting ready for bed, in the treehouse and encountering a spider the size of her hand, on the tree in the treehouse. Now I seem to recall that the Prairie Gypsy experiences some kind of phobia when subjected to spiders. Is that right? I am very anxious to hear how these few days, were for you. Also about the plumbing and meals in the treehouses.
Khao Soi If you make it back to Changmai, be sure to try "noodles shan style" or Khao Soi. Orgasmically good. It's regional, so best to try it there. I ate two bowls a day before I studied realize I was taking on a couple thousand calories a day in afternood snacks - Khao Soi.
When you return to Canada, if you can find a Thai temple or community, you can study Thai. A real challenge, but rewarding.
Joke dii na Khrap! Sawadii Khrap nawn!
WOW! Wow! It is so amazing to read your entries. Your trip sounds fabulous. Your descriptions are so clear that I feel like I can see where you are.
Love and hugs as you look for Gibbons and stay in a treehouse. Can't wait to read more in a few days! :)

yipee! Hey Pammy, it sounds like you are having the adventure of a lifetime. We are living vicariously through you. Hope the fun, food and drinks continue! Can't wait to hear more and see some pics.
safe travels luv ya!
Sounds like you're having a blast! Hey! I loved reading about your adventures! That night bus sounds absolutely AMAZING!! I hope to plan a trip to Thailand sometime in the future, so your tips will be very helpful:-) Especially the stuff on being "touted"...just part of the travelling experience right? I can't wait to see some of your pictures! Looking forward to your next blog:-)
The Thai food must be great. It sounds like you are having a great time. Tell us a little about the Thai cuisine. I bet its completely different than what you are used to in Regina. I can't wait for you to try some of the dishes you learn to make there on me. I'm anxious to see some photos of the countryside there. I hope the memory card reader you have works for you. Talk to you later.
WOW! Hey Pamela: It sounds like you are having a fantastic time. You are so brave! Looking forward to seeing pics from this trip. I will try to keep up with all your travels. Enjoy!
Green with envy This sounds so exciting! You have put the travel bug in me again! It was dormant for about 3 years. Take tons of pictures as we want to see it all! Take care, cut down on the beers!

Hey Auntie Pam we miss you! Hey it's Kristen! Wow your trip sounds fantastic! I cant wait to see pictures. I would have loved that colourful bus you talked about! It is kinda cold here but not too bad. We all miss you but I'm so glad your enjoying yourself.
P.S You know i would have come if I was allowed!
xoxoxo Kristen (miss you tons!!!)
Sounds awesome! Just finished reading your first Thai blog. Sounds like fun. You mentioned you have been using Dad's camera to snap pics. I don't know what kind of cables you have to connect to a computer but if you know what I'm talking about be sure to upload some at your next internet stop. This travelblog site is great, it provides maps so we can pretty much track your every move. I also go to National Geographic and get a satelite view of where you are at and going....very cool.
Anyways, it is still cold here and there is nothing to report so we will look forward to your next report.
PS: Not sure if I agree with the whole "too much beer" comment but just out of curiousity, was it Singha?
Talk to you soon!
You go girl! Just thought I would like to say thanks for the blog so we can all live vicariously through you. Perhaps I should start a blog so everyone can see what it's like to make playdough suppers with a toddler, giggle with a baby learning how to roll and wrestle 2 monkeys into car seats in -40C. Or maybe we'll just stick to the SE Asia one! ;o)
Happy travels! Glenna
Bon Voyage!! Pamela, wow, your trip sounds great!! I wish you could pack me in your suitcase (backpack?)! I look forward to reading your blog entries.
Take care,
Becky
