First day in Thailand was a great success. Many people have told me to try the street food here and they weren't kidding around. So good and so incredibly affordable.
This morning I woke up super early because my brain still doesn't know what time or day it is. It was a good opportunity to soak up the morning sun, grab some breakfast and aimlessly wander around the Old City. There are more temples here than there are Dunkin Donuts in Boston. Some of them small and modest, others massive golden palaces that require you to pay to even get near them. Fascinating history and architecture but like Kyle told me yesterday, "you kinda get bored of them rather quickly".
And with that experience under my belt, it was time to get out of the city and get on some epic Thai limestone! At the high cost of 35 Baht ($1), I took a 50 minutes bus ride into the country side. I'm now at a hostel across the street from all of the best climbing in Northern Thailand. Nestled in the mountains, this hostel sits on beautiful property, has beds available for $3.40 a night and offers the best tasting food I've had so far in Thailand. And every single person staying here is a climber. I've already joined in on some card games, slack lining and riding scooters to the local market to buy deep fried mushrooms and other delicacies. Tomorrow I finally get my hands on some Thailand rock!
