Putting our feet up in P(h)uket
Having already spent more than a month in Thailand, Phuket would be our last stay before leaving the country. Though notorious for its seedier beaches and popularity with Russians, we really enjoyed our stay. Oh, did I mention $3 rum coconuts?

Hello Chiang Mai!
Our first few days in Chiang Mai, our first stop in Thailand, proved a shock to our system after Japan. The warm air, the pungent smells, the intensely flavorful food, the unexpected torrents of expats, the (pleasantly) charged energy — was an utter contrast to our past month.
