Travel Update

I will be leaving the Island of Koh Phangan on March 3 to go to the northern city of Chiang Mai to stay with my friend for 2 weeks, he has a condo there and I was invited to stay 2 weeks.
I will be writing about my boat + train trip from the Island to Bangkok next week.
My flight leaves Bangkok to Chiang Mai the same day I arrive on the train. The train arrives at 5:30 am on March 4 and my flight leaves at 7:45 pm, so I will have some time to explore Bangkok and consume about 3 meals of incredible Thai food.
Believe me when I say that I am addicted to the food here, but I have also lost about 4 pounds and I feel great.

It is very expensive to fly from the island to Bangkok, I would say around 2700 baht which is about $80.00 one way, so i decided to travel Thai style and take the train for $12 one way.

My TEFL Certificate program begins on March 23 on the Island of Koh Samui, so I will go to Koh Samui on March 21 by Train + Flight from Chiang Mai. I will stay on Koh Samui until April 3 and after that I will go back to Chiang Mai. If anyone is interested in joining this program, please put my name, Joshua, in the referred by section. When the TEFL program finishes, I will be contacting my job recruiters to see what my options are for jobs in Chiang Mai.

The Thai school year begins at the end of May beginning of June, so I will begin work then.
