It is so hot here and the bugs are like vultures. I went to see the big palace where the king is. And near the beach area is a shrine almost of the Vietnam War, many relics and old barracks that was used in the war is there cause when the war was going on a lot of U.S. soldiers were staying in Thailand for rnr. A statue of a soldier stands outside this area with a small wall of fallen U.S. soldiers. I went to pay my respects. Some U.S. soldiers still live around there and I saw them and walked up and said thank you. They knew right away I came from the states.
