Back from Bangkok




After a wonderful 10 day vacation and a long (28 hours) day of travel, I am home from Thailand. I was so lucky to have this opportunity to go there and really enjoyed my time visiting Bangkok with Casey. We kept pretty busy and the time just seemed to fly past. I will post more over the next few weeks, but some of the highlights included visiting the Night Market with a slew of sellers and bartering, a tuk tuk ride, a trip to an elephant and crocodile farm, riding an elephant at said farm, going to the temple Wat Arum and the temple of the Emerald Buddha, taking a riverboat ride, and much more. It was a very different culture that I am used to, but I have to say that the Thai people were very kind.


The Thai food was very good and with only a few exceptions wasn't too spicy. Here's a hint, avoid the papaya salad.
