After Chiang Mai, we headed back to Bangkok to meet up with Alan’s friend, Terra, and also catch our flight to Bali. We meet up with Terra for only about 7-8 hours, she meet up with us on Khoa San road where we were staying. Terra immediately had to get the Thai whiskey she had heard about, so we had a few drinks then went and had Thai massages. Terra was in heaven, she had been camping in Figi and in Bali for the last 4 months. I kept laughing at her face as was getting her massage, Alan took a picture of here, she looks like she should be in an advertisement for Thai massage.
Then Alan decided he was going to eat one of the bugs on the street…ok from one of the street food stands. He decided on the scorpion, but there we so many to choose from…it was soo gross so of course I had to video it.

We then saw Terra off to the airport at 4am and headed to bed. The next morning I was just a little hungover…hadn’t drank in Thailand, so I was feeling it…Alan went and got us fresh juice. I was sooo happy, Alan was laughing at me so hard he finally took a picture…now I know why!!
We then hung out at the park again, reading and watching people. Alan had stepped away to take pictures and the aerobics started up with me right behind the instructor. I was a little hard to concentrate. The next morning we headed for Bali!!!
