Hi from Thailand!  We left the seniors at the Bangkok airport after some fun times in Chiang Rai, and flew down to the Bay of Thailand the next day to catch our boat to Koh Chang.  Turns out it's gotten pretty stinking busy and expensive there, so after 2 days we took another boat to a more remote island - Koh Maak.  I'd sorta been hoping to go here for a while, so I'm glad it worked out.  Things here are awesome--there are very few people on the island, which is small enough that you really could walk everywhere...if only it wasn't so stinking HOT!  it's a charming place that actually has a purpose in life besides tourism (coconut and rubber plantations that are over 100 years old) so it lacks that glitzy/grungy feel of places that exist only for tourism.  We've got another 3 nights here, then back to Bangkok, then back to real life...
