Goodbye, Bangkok!

Tomorrow we're leaving Bangkok in search of white sand, turquoise water, and hammocks. We'll be taking the overnight bus and ferry to Ko Pha Ngan. As we prepare to leave, it seems like a good time to share some photos of the neighborhood we've been living in for the past month.

Victory Monument, our local phallic landmark. Every city needs one!

Colorful peppers and tomatoes? Nope! These are look choop, a traditional Thai dessert made out of mung bean paste shaped and colored to look like tiny, shiny vegetables.

Ronald McDonald wais to his customers. On the menu at this McDonalds are three kinds of pie: pineapple, taro, and corn.

Bunnies in dresses. Amazing.

Blog posts may become less frequent over the next couple of weeks. We hear that internet access is expensive on the island, and we're not sure we'll have the ability to upload pictures, but we'll do our best to keep you up to date. In the meantime, you can practice the art of molding mung bean paste to look like vegetables.
