 - Still doing lots of Thailand research
 - Filling my Kindle with books to read - have any suggestions? Please post!

Guess What I Learned?!?

I've been doing daily lessons in attempt to learn a bit of Thai language before we land. Today I counted to 100 in Thai!! I've also learned how to have a very basic conversation... this is going to be interesting!!  I only hope I'm pronouncing the correct way!
