Keep your trunk up for good luck
We arrived in steamy Bankok in the monsoon season. Subject to frequent downpours and occasional flooding, the wet is a difficult time to travel Thailand. Fortunately, the rain held off for the most part of our time in Bangkok. A few highlights from our time in Thailand:
Shopping for just about everything with the good value of the good ‘ole green back Thailand.
The magnificent Grand Palace and Wats (budhist temples) in Bangkok. Simply amazing architecture and design. Like something out of a dream.
Thai hospitality from the friendly Thai people.
Enjoying delicious Thai food. Yummy curries, noodles and seafood.
Relaxing but intense Thai massage. Sort of like deep tissue with a mix of stretching.
Beautiful tropical Ko Samui island. A mixture of bright blue water and lush tropical foliage.
Riding elephants, water bufalo and watching trained monkeys pick coconuts from the trees. (An elephant statue with its trunk up means good luck)
Now is onto Dubai for some middle eastern culture. Around the world we go…
