Reflecting on Thailand – Gimpy

Similar to other trips, I ask my travel companions if they're willing to share their thoughts about their trip. Happily Gimpy is willing to share her thoughts about her trip to South East Asia. What makes this reflection unique is I only joined her and Cactoose on the tail end of it. By the time I arrived, they already had a month of travel under their belt. So there will be some reflections that...
