Back from Thailand!
7 years ago
Well I am finally back from my vacation in Thailand.
Let me some up what went on. My brother and I spent the first week in Bangkok traveling the streets seeing the local stores and sights. I got to tell you food venders are everywhere and it's really cheap. Lots of good food and their fruit is much better tasting than any I've had. We ate so much fruit that we rarely had a craving candy.
Later that week we drove out to a national park and hiked into an area with some of the most beautiful waterfalls. Also when you put your feet into the water these little fish come and suck on your toes.
After the first week my Brother and I met up with his local friend Kyle whom we spent the next few weeks traveling with. We flow down to Krabi. There we spent the next couple of days on a speed boat tour of the tropical islands. We spent time at the beaches, hiked the mountain ranches and snorkeled in the coral reefs. Also had a chance to hit some Geocaching their. :)
Afterwards we flew back and traveled east towards Cambodia. We stopped at an Elephant farm, saw a show and rode the Elephants. Getting in to Cambodia and spending time there was not the greatest experience however. Everything their is overly priced and turns out they will charged you more if you're using Thai Baht instead of USD. Something that never came up in the travel guide. We spent a whole day visiting the 7th wonder of the world, Angkor Wat ruins. Seeing the ruins were amazing however we were constantly plagued by aggressive store venders and beggars. Which by the way Cambodia has a law against tourist giving or buying anything from the children. So as great as the ruins were one day was all I could handle of those people.
The final week we flew into Chiang Mai, we rented some motor bikes and rode up into the mountains. We saw the monk temples and visited the some mountain villages. Saw a snake charming show and got to cuddle with some very big tigers at a big cat sanctuary. Afterwards we attended the water festival where everyone throws water on each other.
Finally flying back to Bangkok for one last day of shopping and preparations to fly home.
All and all it was a very enjoyable and remember able trip. However both of us were thinking 3 weeks may have been too long. After 2 weeks we pretty much ready to go back. Plus traveling with Kyle was a pain.
I'm happy to say nothing in Thailand made made sick, no it was the in flight meal on the way back. Word of advice, don't ever have the chicken meal.
I'm happy to be back though and ready to finish some projects and play catch up.
Expect Iron Artist openings within the next week.
Thank you all.
