Do your travel plans always work out the way you expect them to?
I suppose that would be a miracle in this day and age, right?
Our travels are working out far differently — but better — than we expected.
Julie and I had expected to go from Bangkok to Chiang Mai by train. It sounded like a fun to ride in an overnight sleeper car. But we couldn’t get a sleeper car reserved, so we flew instead. And spending about an hour on the plane was a good trade-off to 12 hours by train.
On the other hand, we have ridden about every other form of transportation available in Thailand: private car, turboprop plane, taxi, bus, elephant and tuktuk. A tuktuk is sort of like a motorcycle up front and a bench in the back for two farang (that’d be foreigners — us).
We took an eight-hour bus trip yesterday (or maybe it’s today, your time — I’m getting confused) to Nan province to visit a ministry among the Prai people. We’ve already gotten some good video and photos — I’ll try to post some of the pictures soon.
Thanks for praying!
