As I headed onto the plane to Thailand, I saw a Spanish man that was on the boat ride I had taken several days earlier. So, I went over to say hello. He didn't speak any English, so I tried my luck with Spanish, and we chatted a little. Once we landed, we headed to the same hostel, and I had dinner with him, and his other friend who spoke Spanish. We went to a market, and got some street food. Everything was pretty good. We separated for a little, and then met up later that night at a street festival which was like an outdoor beauty pageant.
The next day, Fran (the first Spanish guy), and myself rented a motor bike, and headed to the top of the mountain. The temple up there was nice, and the royal palace was also very nice, but the best part of the day was after we wanted to return the bike, we discovered that we had too much fuel in it. So, the logical thing was to suck it out with a hose, bottle it, and try to sell it. Eventually we did, and had a good time trying.
I met up with the Israeli guy I met in Vientiane and him, along with a Polish girl who knew Fran, Fran, and myself went for a two day elephant trek. It was pretty cool. The animals were so docile, and just wonderful to be around. It was really one of the great pleasures of the trip so far. I really liked being around the animals.
The next day I headed to the islands to meet up with Ravit.
