(The following pages were recreated from notes that I took while I was on the trip.) Pictures Text This was my third trip to Thailand. Some highlights of the trip were (in no particular order) -- Regarding the 4 countries that I visited during the 3 week period, the ones from poorest to richest were Cambodia, Vietnam, The Philippines, and Thailand. The local Thai people said that there were less tourists than usual, probably because of the Iraq-U.S. war and also Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome ("SARS"). When I flew to Bangkok from Vietnam, I was tested for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome ("SARS"). They placed a 2-inch long by 1/2-inch wide paper thermometer on my forehead to check my temperature. No other flights into Bangkok from other countries (Cambodia or The Philippines) had such a test nor did any of the other countries (Vietnam, Cambodia, nor The Philippines) have a test. The Sky Train is a simple, useful way to travel along Sukhumvit Road. If you plan on visiting the Grand Palace in Bangkok, note that it closes at 3:30pm. There is a billiards/restaurant establishment on Soi Seven where you can get access to the Internet for free. If you don't want to get wet, then don't visit Thailand during the Songkran Festival in April. National/International Crisis Strangely, whenever I travel to a country in either Asia or the South Pacific, a national or international crisis occurs. During this trip, the crisis was international -- Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome ("SARS"). The fun never ends! As I have mentioned on other pages that I have created on my Web site, I discovered that my friends and family who use AOL's software are not able to access the pages if they contain pictures. With that in mind, I have created 2 set of pages here. One contains pictures and the other contains text. Sorry for the inconvenience.
