Taiwan Beach

Today was a Baha'i holiday to celebrate the birth of Baha'u'llah. We took the day off school and went with some other Baha'is to the beach. It was a bit of trip to get there. We all piled into a minibus (there were seventeen of us, mostly kids) and drove for a little over 2 hours. That took us to Pattaya and from there we took a boat to a little island with some lovely beaches with white sand.

It's the end of the rainy season for Bangkok, so the beach was full of waves. The water was like bath water. I'm usually a chicken when it comes to getting into the water, but it was so warm that even I could walk straight in.

We all enjoyed the beach and the waves and headed back to Bangkok late in the afternoon. It was pretty cramped and crammed in the minibus so I was really happy to get out. It was a great day, and we're all happily tired now. Time for some tea and then early to bed.

Hey - heard about the bombing in the market. I'm sure you're OK as it was at 1am. Please be safe and keep us posted.
