Hi Grace - good to hear from you and that you are having a great time - who wdnt be in Thailand???
Unfortunately we didnt get to do either of those 2 things, so I cant give you any recommendations. You sound like me, trying to fit in as much as possible, but still running out of time. I guess its a good thing that you dont get to do all the things you want to while in Thailand, COS THAT JUST MEANS YOU HAVE TO MAKE A RETURN TRIP FOR UNFINISHED BUSINESS!!!
