Dear Joyce,
Here I am in Asia! I’m still in Thailand now; I’ve been here for two weeks already. I went to an island in the south called Phuket for a little over a week. It has really great beaches. I spent my days lying on the beach and my nights drinking beer and watching videos in the bars. After that I came back here to Bangkok. It’s crowded and polluted, but there are some really interesting temples and palaces. I’ve never seen anything like them. One has a two-ton Buddha made of solid gold!
Yesterday I took a day trip to Ayuthaya, the former capital. It has some incredible ruined temples. I’m getting ready to fly to Nepal next week; my next letter will probably be from there. If you write to me, send your letters to me poste restante at the Bangkok General Post Office. I’ll pick them up when I get back to Thailand at the end of next month.
Sincerely,
Vincent Smith
亲爱的乔依丝：
我到亚洲了！现在我还待在泰国；我已经到这里两个星期了。我去了南部一个叫普吉的小岛一个多星期。那里有很棒的海滩。我白天躺在海滩上，晚上到酒吧里喝啤酒、看录像带。之后我便回到曼谷。这里很拥挤而且污染严重，不过有一些挺有趣的庙宇和宫殿。我从未看过任何类似的建筑物。其中有一间庙有一座由两吨纯金打造成的佛陀。
昨天我到故都阿犹他亚玩了一天。那里有一些令人难以置信的荒废庙宇。我下星期准备飞到尼泊尔；下次给你的信可能就会从那里寄出。你如果要写信给我，把信寄到曼谷邮政总局邮件留局待领处，等我下个月底回到泰国时会去领。
文森‧史密斯 敬上
