Ha, I don't mind the midget vampire haunted place. To my standards I'm on a budget, because I plan on staying the 30day max before I head back to school for fall term. I would like a quiet area, not too busy, but being said that I want to be close to the Korat Mall, Which might be difficult. I still plan on coming to Thailand mid August, probably stay in Bangkok for at least 5 days then move up to Korat and look at the temples and such. Didn't get a chance to ride the elephants, because I spent my MWR day to go swimming. I'm also having a friend come with me so if everything goes down hill at least I got someone to rely on, though I'll probably be taking care of him, being the drunk he is. I prefer to avoid the hotels that is usually rented out to street girls, but I'd like a cheap but decent place to shut my eyes at. In terms of plans after getting to Korat, Nook wanted to go to the beach so we'll probably end up doing that. From there not sure, depends if temple or ocean comes first. I wouldn't mind knocking out the "certified to marriage" form out of the way, just to plan for the future and also get her a passport, but haven't decided to do it at the start of the trip or end. All depends.
On to where I stayed at last time I visited, was on Camp Friendship in one of the old barracks, so Ideally anything will be better.
Seems there be lots of left over time if I want to spend 30days in Thailand, is there anything locally going on around mid-August mid-September?
Guess another way to say all this is I'm spending money in plans to come back again.
The weather far exceeds Oregon weather, being that yesterday there was a power out from all the snow.
