LikeAfter a few hours of shared jeep, 15hrs of train (general class, you don't have a seat, you just squeeze where you can), two days in Kolkata, and a few hours of plane, we finally end up in Thailand! Nothing to do in Bangkok, we go directly to my old friend Pierre who lives in the countryside in Isan, one of the poorest region of Thailand. He lives there with his wife Bam, they married last January, and her children Tai and Ellie. I was planning to stay only for a few days, but I end up staying for two weeks there, countless drinking and chilling, barbecues and other good food. Hard to leave! In the meantime Valerie decides she wants to go North while I prefer to continue South, so it's time for us to part.
