In just over 72 hours from now, I will be once again starting on that long trek back to Thailand. Considering the current forecast for the weather here, it will be a change of about 45 degrees for me. I do not care for the snow, and at the same time, do enjoy the heat.
In a Skype conversation last evening, with the family in Thailand, I do not know where I will be spending most of my time. I have reserved a hotel in the Silom area of Bangkok for seven nights to January 6 checkout. At that time, I will go into northern Thailand for the next four weeks. My friend is currently in the Intensive Care Unit at the Udon Thani hospital. His family, and the family farm, are located at So Phisai, three hours by auto north-east of Udon Thani. Where I go will depend on several factors, including his condition. The week I have booked in Bangkok will give me time to rest and recover from the long trip there, and, along with family members living in Bangkok, develop a plan of action. I have booked two nights, January 31, and February 1 at the same hotel as when I arrive. This will give me time to prepare for the long flight back home...last minute shopping, haircut, relax, Thai Massage, etc. I have been informed that February 2 is also the date for the Superbowl game, the final football game of the year. Since I am not an American Football fan, I will only have to put up with a few days of the post game hype...not the pregame also!.
I will do an arrival report when back in Bangkok. I do not expect to do any more updates until that time.
