Welcome to Bangkok
Traveling from Cambodia to Thailand was very easy, just a quick 1-hour flight on Air Asia. Everything was great, except one major problem — Linley got food poisoning on our last day in Cambodia.

Bed rest for 3 days and a trip to a Thai hospital seemed to clear everything up, but in the meantime we watched a lot of TV (luckily, the hotel had satellite!). Cupcake Wars and Dog the Bounty Hunter became favorites. Overall we were impressed with the Thai hospitals. We saw 3 different doctors, got blood tested for malaria, and a sonogram to check for a ruptured appendix — all for $80 with no insurance. The hospital cafe also cooked up a mean bowl of pork noodle soup.

Other than a lot of bed rest, we didn’t do too much in Bangkok. While Linley slept, James ventured out near the hotel to eat some delicious street food.
Street Food: Pad See Ew and a Chang Beer. Yum!

Hope Linley is feeling better.
I didn’t read any of this post’s text at first… and when I saw Linley’s scan, I thought she was pregnant for a few seconds…
Glad to see just your appendix. Blueberry pancakes!
Lin! Poor thing! Glad that you’re better now and are adventuring on 🙂 thanks for the updates james, these are great!
