I know its been almost a month since my last post. I've had a lot going on. Someday readers I will tell you about it. But not today.
Today you can enjoy these pictures from Thailand! It was the most amazing place I have ever been. I would LOVE to go back there for a year or two and live. I loved everything about it; from the food to the people to the heat and humidity it was all such a great experience. I loved riding the elephants and hiking through the jungles and seeing the humble dwellings of the people. I only got to see monkeys once though :( :( And only from a boat for like 5 minutes. It was extremely disappointing. But otherwise everything was awesome. We went to Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Phuket.
What I missed about America:
- Cold water (especially in Chiang Mai in the jungle)
- Being able to drink from the tap
What I loved about Thailand:
- Our whole family ate dinner and bought drinks for about $6.
- The food was so flavorful and so fresh!
- The people were happy and friendly
- The country was beautiful
- Life was so much simpler
- And a thousand other things

So some of the toilets you had to stand on and squat. It was interesting. |

Cooking our dinner with fresh everything straight from the gardens that day. |
TONS of pictures. It was hard to narrow down which pictures and I obviously didn't do a very good job. But there you have it. If you ever get the chance to travel to Thailand I would highly recommend it.
Till next post! :)
