A few weeks ago we went on our mandatory visa run which happens every 180 days. We are required by the Indian government to leave the country. We decided to go to Thailand for a much needed break to rest and recuperate after 6 months of flux in Delhi. So...we picked the easiest option. Travel light, fly to Bangkok(3.5 hours), where a taxi van will greet us right outside of customs and take us 3 hours to a quiet and removed retreat center on the fishing coast of the the Gulf of Thailand. The center is designed for families who are working in the region seeking a get away. It provided clean and new accommodations, 3 meals a day, laundry, a pool, a kids play room, a beach, bicycles and a few tourist activities if desired. The point is, we didn't have to think about anything or make any decisions or go through any struggle to meet our basic needs which believe it or not has been a struggle in Delhi. We all got really sick with colds and baboo was awake every 2 hours for a few nights, but even with this...it was delightful and much needed.
