AlteCocker in Southeast Asia: November 2014-January 2015
AlteCocker left the United States on October 30, 2014, to fly to Bangkok. Her friend Mary had rented her an apartment in the Hillside 3 Condo off trendy Niemmanhamen in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Mary has retired to Chiang Mai and the intent was for AlteCocker and Mary to visit and do things together. The plans came apart due to a bad break. 4-5 days after AlteCocker arrived, Mary tripped and broke her leg. She was put in a nonweightbearing over the knee cast, so any thought of joint plans went right out the window.
Never fear, AlteCocker simply reorganized and the trip went forward. The outline for the trip is as follows:
November 1, 2014 (one night in Bangkok)
November 1, 2014-December 16, 2014: In the apartment in Chiang Mai
December 16-20, 2014, Siem Reap, Cambodia, to visit Angkor Wat and other temples
December 20-25, 2014, Chiang Mai, Thailand
December 25-30, kayak trip with Paddle Asia out of Phuket, Thailand
December 30-January 6, Chaing Mai, Thailand
January 6-10, Yangon (formerly Rangoodn), Myanmar (formerly Burma)
January 10-14, Bangkok, Thailand
January 14-fly home to Washington DC (Bangkok-Tokyo-Dulles)
To make things more readable, AlteCocker has divided up the blogs, but the bulk of the posts will be in "November 2014: AlteCocker in Chiang Mai, Thailand:", "December:2014: AlteCocker in Chaing Mai, Thailand" and January 1-6, 2015. There will be subblogs on AlteCocker in Siem Reap, Phuket, Yangon, and Bangkok.
