I'm sorry for the delay in this post - it's long overdue, I know.
So as I'm gearing up for my next adventure (more on that later) I was looking back at my Thailand pictures and realized I never made a post about it!
Our trip to Thailand was probably one of my all time favorite travel experiences. We only had a few days in Bangkok, so Sky and I made the most of it. We hired a tour company, as coordinating a car and organizing certain activities would have been nearly impossible on our own.
We flew in Friday night and made it to a rather ritzy hotel - the toilet had like 20 buttons! It was incredibly cheap for the quality, but welcome to Thailand.
The next morning, after a fun asian breakfast, we were off for a day packed with adventure! Our first stop was the River Kwai.
The bridge actually has a really cool history and we enjoyed learning about it from our guide!
Next up was the floating market which was actually incredibly cool. We literally rented a boat and floated up and down buying snacks and cool knick knacks. And it was SO beautiful to boot!
The food was delicious and we both had a blast!
Then we made our way to what was surely the highlight of the trip - swimming with elephants! Now I do want to specify here, we went to an elephant sanctuary in the middle of the jungle. These elephants are well taken care of by their trainers, called mahouts. It was beautiful and we were so lucky to have been able to visit with these beautiful animals.
Schuyler, King of the Jungle (one of the Mahouts made him a crown!)
Posing for the tasty orange!
Me and my elephant!
The best water fight in the world!
Look at that jungle!
Oh and I got to backflip off an elephant... so that was amazing beyond all belief
Swimming with elephants was SO FUN but also quite the work out! We headed back to the hotel absolutely exhausted
The next day we took some time to explore some temples. These were beautiful and so fun to explore. My only negative experience was with the rather shifty street vendors (telling you certain attractions were closed so they could give you a tour instead etc.). We had a blast and even got to ride in a tuk tuk!
Overall, Thailand was phenomenal and I 1000% would love to go back!
Lots of love,
Lena
