So this is really the first time I've been traveling in High Season. It's been nice enough in the other places I've been, but there was a dearth of fellow travelers. Not so here.
So it's bit me a bit. The first couple of places that I tried, here in Ayuthaya, were booked. The third place is a bit basic. A bed, a chair, a fan. Bathroom downstairs. So I'm shortening my time here and heading to Chaing Mai early. Saturday night I'll take an overnight train.
And yes, I have, after many telecommunications difficulties, made a reservation with a place in Chaing Mai.

Marcia, maybe I'm a bit dense (I haven't had all of my morning coffee yet) but I'm not sure what you mean by High Season. Is it just that it's a busy season for tourists, or something more specific? Like I said, maybe I'm just not very smart.

Yeas, high season means lots of fellow travelers. Not high season as in extensive drug use. If you're caught with drugs, it's a $250 fine, and a year in jail. If you're caught trying to smuggle it across the border, you can be executed for it. I think this was set to happen to an Australian yesterday. (Most of this info came from the Lonely Planet, not first person experience.)
Woah! Not a lot of stoners in Thailand! Thanks for the clarification.
