That looks like a lot in a day - you obviously have more energy than I do!

Well maybe the next time I come to TH I can hop over to Saigon for a few days. How did you handle the visa?

Those model bikes looked interesting - but THB500.... I try to buy trinkets now and then from street vendors because I think some sort of work is better than simply begging. I try to reward people who at least attempt to work or sell a product.

The bird thing is the first time I'd seen something like this - are you sure they don't just recapture them and sell them to the next tourist?

Or worse, train them to simply fly back to sell to the next tourist?

Or worse, fly into that shop and become lunch for that CAT you saved?

newyorkd>> it's totally about 6 hours in VN (excluded checking-in period)

for visa, Thai can visit VN without visa... as well as HK, Lao, Singapore and Korea etc.

i like steet vendors too... and totally agree that some sort of work is better than simply begging... especially ones who have eyes, hands and legs... but somehow we need to be careful... they try to make advantage from our kindness for example; to force children to sell things or to sell double price

but if the primary is to help them... so just do it...

the bird thing is common in Thailand... maybe you can see them near Sanam Lueng or the Grand Palace... it' just like "cycle"... they (whoever - seller, catcher) would recapture them again... sell again... and so on

for Thailand, they dont only sell to the tourist... also Thai who like to "tum boon"

moreover, you can find this kind of "bird" thing....for "fish" thing too!

emmm.. train them to fly back? i dont think they are that smart

fly into that CAT's mouth? nahhh... he is just a very skinny kitten... also, those VN birds are bigger than Thai kitten's mouth ...lol

Thanks for your entire trip AAA... big disappointment though...

coffee & cake prices at he airport!!!

Looks like USA prices..$$$... you could have bought another ship for God's sake!

and in the airport bad quality also, terrible! Even in Uncle Ho's City (he would not like this)

I guess it is the STARBUCKS influence (those guys in Seattle suck!)
