Currently I am sitting in the airport waiting to catch a plane to Phuket while watching the sun set on my final day in Bangkok.  Since momma, papa, and baby Mire arrived in Thailand we have been running, going, moving non-stop. We’re having a great time and hopefully Phuket will give us all some well deserved beach time. Some highlights from the first leg of the vacation include:

  • Jatujak market
  • Massages where the masseuses hit on my dad and Dean– apparently Papa Mire looks like a great sugar daddy
  • Visiting my school in Samroiyod
  • Lunch with the teachers
  • Khao Takiab– a wat in Hua Hin
  • Playing with monkeys
  • Elephant riding
  • Sightseeing
  • Dinner and a traditional Thai dancing show at the swankiest hotel in Bangkok
  • Jungle/treetop ziplining–at one point in the rain
  • Driving and walking through the Red Shirt protests
  • Alice In Wonderland at the Imax– we bought the posh couch seats
  • Khao San Road on St. Patrick’s Day
  • Jewelry shopping
  • Tons of Thai food
  • Taxi price negotiating
  • River taxi ride
  • Tuk tuks– found out that we can all squeeze into one tuk tuk, quite impressive
