Fun! Your descriptions are awesome! I feel like I am there, but without the jet lag and mosquito bites. Stay safe and have fun! I will post you updates on the Keat Kitties when I see them. Love you both!
Wow Again - we're very jealous of your trip. We would much, much rather be in Thailand right now. You probably have a lot of these down on your list already, but some here are some good things to go in Chiang Mai: Doi Suthep (if you're not already sick of visiting amazing temples), Warorat Market,Siam Rice Thai Cookery School (for a 1-day cooking class). Good restaurants: , The Riverside (a fantastic place to eat with great live music - I HIGHLY recommend the fish stew served in a coconut although I can't remember what they called it), Huan Phen, Aroon Rai.
And what beach are you staying at on Koh Phangan? If you stay at Thing Nai Paan Noi, you must try the restaurant Mio's. It's an Italian place, but their Thai food is especially delicious for some reason.
Tomorrow = Chatuchak Hey Mike - we are going to wake up early tomorrow to head to the Chatuchuk market. Thanks for the tip! We hung out and had some food and drinks at Khaosan Rd our first night. We had so much fun watching the backpacker tourist scene. Thailand is amazing!
Tuk-Tuk Ride The Tuk-Tuk ride home last night was fantastic!!! Essentially a tuk-tuk is a faster, thai version of a golf cart and you whiz around in it instead of a cab. Very fun!
Very jealous The Grand Palace is incredible. And the scale model of the Angkor Wat is pretty impressive too. Are you guys hitting up Khaosan Road at some point? It's touristy but a lot of fun. I also highly recommend JJ Market (also known as the Chatuchak market) which is an ENORMOUS weekend outdoor market. Feel free to buy anything from a puppy to a lounge chair to a lantern. Please drink a few extra Chang beers for us.
What a great start hey Beth and Mike-sounds like your first day was awesome! I can't wait to follow your journey over the next few weeks! :) Travel safe!
