What do I like best about the trip? Here are my top three. In order: 1. The Kids 2. The Kids 3. The Kids, and an Honorable mention: cold beer at night! I’m sort of at the stage now where I’m like a relative who visits once a year. We have a grand time together! The time I ate bugs and survived an earthquake. It doesn’t get much more immersive than that! It's always an adventure in dining. I got fried red ant eggs and monkey stew. Breakfast was the same filling buffet every day. And good coffee! You don’t expect barista coffee in the middle of nowhere. But they have it! One day, we went to the Thai version of a water park. The Bing River has cabanas, amazing concessions, inner tubes to float on, and cold drinks. And I was the only foreigner there. I had so much fun! Then, one day, we visited a street market at the Myanmar border. Thousands of people. No Westerners except us! A great experience!
