I have the itch to get back to Thailand. I was there last in January of 2024 when I spent a month with Jaidan and Thavorn. Actually, I spent most of the month with Jaidan as Thavorn spent about 2 weeks with her Thai family.
This time around I will go by myself for a variety of reasons. Thavorn does not like the flight and would rather save the money from the fight and she also finds visisting her family costs a lot of money. Jaidan will also be in school, so that leaves me.
Why do I have the itch. I love Thailand and the excitement that can be had. I will play a lot of pool, swim a lot in the pool. and visit bars to listen to music and just enjoy the vibe of being foot loose and fancy free.
Why now? I will have just undergone three operations in 2 years and will have just turned 75. I may be running out of time. After talking it over with Thavorn, she understands that I need a break from our daily, monthly, and yearly routines.
It also does not cost me much as I have resort points to use and accommodations costs will be minimal. It appears I can find a flight for under $1,500 so food and beer will be the major cost. I am planning for an October excursion for 3 weeks with time in Bangkok, Phuket, and perhaps a couple of days in Pattaya.
Hopefully this will all play out. Stay tuned :-)
