Friday is a good day to be thankful

Today I am thankful for family.

Thailand / Part one

Our trip to Thailand exceeded our expectations on so many levels.

Here is what I’ll remember:

// The islands where achingly beautiful. Warm sunsets led to lazy evenings of reading and talking.

// The local people we met where kind in the most heartwarming way.

// I love coconuts in any shape or form or mixture thereof. Breakfast, lunch and supper.

// The street vendors often have the best food..but if you do not speak Thai you probably have a 50% chance to know what it is you bought for supper.

// We enjoyed traveling through the smaller towns and cities just as much as the islands…possibly more.

// Given the chance we would return over, and then over again.

We traveled to Bangkok > Koh Phangan > Koh Tao > Amphawa > Ayutthaya > Bangkok.

Below are some photos of our time in Koh Phangan.
