November in Thailand

By: Allison Walters (View Profile)

With December looming I made the best of my time left in Thailand. My last three nights were literally 'spent' as I blew the rest of my wad at the Chaing Mai night market. Buying bamboo place mats and big wooden bowls made me a bit lonesome for the first time all trip. I think about the dinner parties back home and the great Thanksgiving feast I had missed this year. There’s nothing better than little time away to make you appreciate what lives so close. I return home with big stories to tell and a greater appreciation for my family and friends. Speaking of big I also rode an elephant, “wow, this is cool.”

Traveling Alone: Finding Safe Accommodations in Thailand? Security is a hot topic today, even when it's not making the 6 o'clock news. Many of us feel most vulnerable when we are traveling alone. An unfamiliar spot, unfamiliar faces, and unusual customs can make us feel out of place. A perfect way to fit in anywhere and to really enjoy a trip is to swap homes. Visit www.homeforswap.com

Loved your article. I don't travel, so these colorful accounts you painted with words will satisfy me for quite a while.

I've traveled alone in Thailand, too, and had many of the same experiences.
It feels good to write.
