So my dad and my brother came to visit me in August!! My dad started planning this trip before I even moved out here! :) He was so excited to come visit me and see what all the hype was about!!!
Well, he LOVED it!! :) ....I think he may move out here! ;)
They spent a LONG 18 days here and it was amazing! They got right into the swing of things with learning about the Thai culture and language...heck I think they spoke more Thai in 4 days than I did when I first moved out here! Luckily with the timing of their trip I had a 4 day weekend from school so I took an extra couple of days off so I was able to travel around with them a bit (I think 9/10 days total)...
So, I'll just post pictures and throw in some comments here and there... Basically we started the trip in Bangkok when I picked them up from the airport...Went back to Saraburi (my town) and spent a few days there before leaving to go to the islands. We went to KRABI and AO-NANG - which was absolutely beautiful...and then we flew to CHIANG MAI and spent some time there. I LOVED Chiang Mai and am wanting to move there when I finish the school year...we will see how that works out! After Chiang Mai we came back to Saraburi because I unfortunately had to go back to work...and then the boys were on their own!! They had fun and went on a couple of day/over night trips!!
Overnight train from Bangkok to Krabi!
That's me ALLLLL the way up at the top in the picture on the right!
After Krabi and Ao-Nang we flew up north to Chiang Mai!
Chiang Mai is absolutely amazing!
One of my favorite things that we did on our trip was spending a day with elephants!! :)
We got to feed, wash, and ride them! It was such an amazing, fun experience!
Got massages from the Chiangmai Women's Correctional Institution
It's a vocational training center for female prisoners
One afternoon we went to check out Doi Suthep -
it is a BEAUTIFUL temple that is up on top of a mountain.
You can see ALL of Chiang Mai from here! Absolutely stunning!
While in Chiang Mai we also took a Thai Cooking Class! :) It was a lot of fun and A LOT of FOOD! We all got to make 5 different courses of Thai food!
My belly was sooo full and happy by the time we were finished!
I wish I had more details about our trip posted on here but then I'd just feel like I was rambling!! :) I hope you enjoyed the pictures!!
I have a few more posts to finish and will post soon!!
Love and miss you all more than you know!!! :)
