Left Bangkok a few days ago, but did not have internet access until now. Today I returned to Chiang Khong Thailand after a 1 hour hellish rot song tao (taxi truck with seats in the back) ride. Chiang Khong is the place is I made the young monk photo. I plan on having a good nights sleep to recover from the last few days. I felt sick before I got in the truck and after that 1 hour dusty, noisy ride with no shocks and some strange farang girl smoking cigarettes across from me I felt really bad. The plan is to get up tomorrow and go in search of portraits and some landscapes.
