This is was my first trip to Thailand and this is what I know…hot and damn hot. I thought I picked a good time to visit this hot humid jungle of tourists, but actually another month later (Christmas holiday) would have been better. It was hitting mid 90’s every day and this Seattle boy is acclimatized for the mid 70’s; my shirts were usually damp during our daily excursions. I think I even lost a few pounds too, at least my wife Linna was hoping.
