I first arrived in Thailand 35 years ago After traveling on a westward bound round-the-wotld ticket from John at PanExpress, New York - Biak - Bali - Java - Sumatra - Singapore. April. I rode the train north up the Ka Peninsula to Surat Thani. I got off the train at night. A midnight ferry took me to the island. I got a bungalow on the a coal beach. It was quiet and beautiful. I woke up in the morning to have breakfast and exited into the bright sunlight. Then two housekeepers splashed water on me. I laughed. I was so angry until they said it was Songkran. Water Festival. Fun, fun, fun. I miss my family. I miss Thailand.
