The best things about our trip:
-Wonderful food. If you enjoy Thai food. We also had a delicious pizza for lunch one day.
-The best massages ever. They were 200 baht/hour which is about $7. We miss our daily massages. Anyone know a Thai lady wanting to earn some extra cash?
-Beautiful and cheap artwork. We got 3 original canvas paintings for less than $200 total.
-The Thai people are wonderful. So nice and humble.
-Beautiful white sand beaches where you can lay out and eat corn on the cob, cooked to order on a portable grill, slathered in butter, salt & pepper. Or enjoy fresh cut pineapple. Delicious! (The corn lady carries the grill up and down the beach on her shoulder!)
-Swimming in the ocean with Ra-Ra the elephant at the Sheraton Hotel on the island of Krabi. Seriously a dream come true for me!
-How cheap everything is. $1 to 32 baht. Example: Our scooter rental charge was $5/day
-Traveling with Kristen and Russell. We had a great time together.
The not so great things about our trip:
-Trying to get comfortable on a 17 hour plane ride.
-Hard beds in every hotel. Thank goodness for the massages!
-Having to walk through the stinking dried squid market in Bangkok. It was awful :(
-We didn't have the best weather for sunbathing on the beach. I wasn't able to get a real tan to replace the fake one I went with.
-It was hard to see how poor many of the Thai people are. They sleep where they work. Literally. They have a building with a store in the front and a kitchen and bedroom in the back. The kids hardly have clothes let alone toys.
-Missing the boys
