Bangkok Part 1

After our elephant adventure Saturday, it was time to leave Chiang Mai. Sunday morning we came to the airport and departed on a flight to Bangkok. We've had a whirl of little adventures since then, trying to figure this city out.

Elephants

A Day Out of Chiang Mai

Today was our main event in norther Thailand. We had booked an elephant day upon arrival into Chiang Mai with Elephant Jungle Sanctuary(and here's our photos on their facebook) high in the mountains near the city. At 8 am we were picked up by a...erm...pickup truck. We climbed into the back onto the padded benches and imagined all the wonderful things that might await us

Chiang Mai's Many Temples (Etc.)

In Chiang Mai there are temples at every corner--not literally, but the city is so rich with them that you can walk twenty minutes and go past a half dozen of the things. So that's what we did today.

Phi Phi Pics & More Boring Text

Pictures from the other day...

Here's Christian and I enjoying our Phi Phi island hopping and snorkeling adventure, I wish I could ever have stable enough internet to upload video! But this will have to do:

Ko Phi Phi Part 3: The highs and lows

6/21

We again didn't do much today. On the evening before, we had decided to do the obligatory beach party thing (watching more fire dancing, ), thus in the morning we needed some recuperation and laid low. Our main events today were to eat, rest, and sign up for an all-day boat tour thingy for the next day. Woooooo.

Ko Phi Phi Part 2

Today, 6/20

We didn't get up to too much so far today. We slept in, washed some clothes in the sink, bought some unexciting logistical bits and pieces from a convenience store. Things got better later, and I have some pictures! But first things first...

Krabi Town & Ko Phi Phi

Our main interest in Krabi is that Krabi town has an airport, and a ferry dock that is constantly porting travelers over to Ko Phi Phi. Phi Phi is the hot island destination for young travelers, it seems. Indeed, it seems we've finally found where the white people hang out. Dozens and dozens of them. Flocks you might say. European youths are everywhere. It's a party island.
