Going Home
12 февраля, Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ⛅ 28 °F
We arrived at the Bangkok airport and went to the lounge. Boarded the plane for Singapore a 2 1/2 hour flight and that’s when it went downhill. A couple did not show up for the flight and their luggage had to be taken off the plane. We had an hour delay which was going to cause us to most likely miss the flight from Singapore to Munich, which would mean re- booking 3 flights.

We landed in Bangkok/thank god we did not check bags. We jumped off the plane and had to run to the skytrain which took us to a different terminal. We then continued to run(Jill did)sweating our asses off, luckily an airport cart grabbed us and drove us to the gate. They called the gate and told them we were coming. They held the plane and we made it. Turns out there was others and the plane took off 30 minutes late. 13 Hours later we landed in Munich Terminal 1, picked up our winter luggage from the Hilton, and went to terminal 2, had to do Global Blue before making it to the lounge for a few. Next flight is Munich to Amsterdam 1 1/2 hour flight where we will have 30 min to make it to Delta flight home. 10 Hours later we arrived!Читать далее

We flew from Phuket to Bangkok, got picked up from the hotel in a beautiful Mercedes S class. I have never been in a sedan with reclining back seats. 😂 An hour later we arrived at the hotel, checked in and walked to an Italian restaurant down the street for a great (non asian) meal. Walked back to the hotel and went to bed.

Day 2 - Woke up, got ready, had a cappuccino and got a cab ride to meet the group for a food tour. We sampled over 15 items, many of which I did not try, lol!!! We rode a tuk tuk, the water taxi and public bus. It was a fun experience in this overwhelming super busy packed city. We went to one the super large malls called MBK, the malls are so big you can’t possible even see everything. After the mall we got cleaned up and went to the rooftop bar at the hotel for a drink and appetizer before walking to dinner. I had the brilliant idea of stopping at an abandoned mansion for an additional drink but after 45 minutes of walking around, we never did find an entrance and Klaus was pissed and sweaty. We gave up and went to dinner at a super cool rooftop bar with live music and DJ. we decided that the walk was a bit too much and took a tuk tuk , which is a crazy experience in itself.

Day 3 - Woke up, had a coffee and took a taxi to the Chatuk weekend market, there is over 8000 vendors and it would take all day to see everything. We had to get back to the hotel to change and check out. Our flight was not till 8pm so we walked to the Italian restaurant from the first day and had lunch, we had to order quick because there is no alcohol served from 2 to 5 every day in Bangkok. Kids get out of school and they don’t want them trying to sneak it. After lunch, we walked to another mall called terminal 21 this is designed like an airport with a bunch of levels and the most massive food courts taking up two floors I’ve ever seen. We stopped on the way back to the hotel for a final massage (I will miss these and the warm weather of course the most). A quick aperol on the walk back to the hotel where the car was waiting to take us to the airport.Читать далее

Sailing the islands Part 1
7 февраля, Таиланд ⋅ ⛅ 88 °F
We woke up, had breakfast, got cleaned up and packed our back packs with only the essentials for 4 days on the catamaran. The driver picked us up with his wife they were both so sweet and found us an amazing wine shop to grab a few bottles of bubbly for the boat. An hour later we arrived at the captain’s house who happens to live on the beach where he anchors the boat. We left our suitcases at his place and loaded the backpacks and bubbly into the dinghy and motored to the boat. His mates name was Fon, she had worked for Alex for awhile now and would be doing all the cooking and helping Alex out when needed.

We spent the next 4 days, visiting islands, paddle boarding, snorkeling, (well mainly Klaus because day one a baby jellyfish stung me near my lip and I decided not to risk it anymore) sleeping under the stars (It was way to hot to sleep in the boat) eating amazing food prepared by Fon, reading, and watching beautiful sunrises and sunsets.

On the final full day we visited a beach cove back in Phuket, after lunch on the boat we took the dinghy to shore and had a fun afternoon having cocktails at a couple of beach bars. We sailed to a larger beach area in the town Fon happened to live in, it is there we anchored the boat for the night. After dinner we took the dinghy to shore and Fon took us to her home town bars, we had WAY too much fun and paid the price the next day.

The final morning we had incredible winds and sailed back to Alex’s house. The same driver and wife picked us up and took us to a restaurant for lunch before the airport. We flew to Bangkok to spend a couple of nights before heading home.

A list of the islands we stopped at:

Ko Maithon
Racha Noi
Racha Yai
Nui Bay Phuket

Final Day at Sri Panwa
5 февраля, Таиланд ⋅ ⛅ 84 °F
We woke up, had breakfast and booked a cab to take us to Kata Beach which is about 40 minutes from the hotel. We spent the day on the beach, got a massage and ate dumplings at a Russian restaurant. The beach and area were absolutely packed with people. After the beach we grabbed another taxi and because of traffic it took 1 hour and 15 minutes to get back. We quickly showered and to the tuk tuk to the roof top bar for the sunset. It was a beautiful view. About an hour later we had the tuk tuk take us to the entrance and walked to the small village and had dinner at an Indian restaurant. Tomorrow is check out and heading to the catamaran.Читать далее

Phuket- Sri Panwa - Day 1 & 2
3 февраля, Таиланд ⋅ ⛅ 86 °F
We woke up in Chiang Mai walked down the street to a little breakfast place for our morning coffee and tried coconut toast with mango. Super yummy!!! Klaus ordered an iced orange coffee which is orange juice and coffee, surprisingly good. We got a taxi to the airport for a quick and easy 2 hour flight to Phuket. We flew Thai Air Asia, thank goodness Klaus did some research and we did not book Nok Air, they had a bunch of cancellations. An hour drive later we arrived at the beautiful Sri Panwa resort it is an amazing resort built into the cliff. When ever you want to go some where within the resort a tuk tuk picks you up and takes you. We checked in, changed our clothes and went to a casual dinner over looking the ocean. We took our remaining bottle of prosecco back to the room for an evening swim in our pool.

Day 2 - We woke up and took the tuk tuk to breakfast. It’s is one of the nicest breakfasts to date. After breakfast we threw on bathing suits and went to the large pool for a bit then the beach pool for the rest of the afternoon. We met a nice couple from Wales and enjoyed chatting with them and drinking aperol. We got cleaned up and took a taxi to the Sunday night market in old town Phuket, it was street after street filled with people and vendors. A very cool experience, we tried a couple of things including the best dumplings ever! Next we walked to dinner at a very cool Michelin restaurant called Day and Night. We had great food and an interesting conversation with a former model/actress from London. After dinner we went to a couple of bars with live music and had a fun evening. We got a taxi, more like a party van 😂😂 back to the hotel. It was late and we were tired!!Читать далее

Chiang Mai Day 3
2 февраля, Таиланд ⋅ ☀️ 86 °F
Today we woke up, went downstairs for a coffee and got ready for our 11:00am lunch reservation. We had great lunch at a Michelin recommended restaurant. After lunch we went to the flower festival and walked around for a bit. Next we grabbed a cab and went to Loi Kroh road where all the action is, we walked for a bit and purchased tickets for a Muai Thai Fight. The fight does not start until 9:00pm so we went and got massages and a snack at the italian restaurant from the night before. After a glass of wine at a cute wine bar we went back to Loi Kroh street and experienced the crazy busy night markets. The streets were lined with never ending vendors and street food. We really enjoyed the one very modern market with food stalls and live music.

We arrived at the fight club, sat ring side and watched fights until after midnight. Klaus was so excited to watch this and I was glad it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be.

We grabbed a cab back to the hotel, lights out, this is the latest we have stayed awake since getting sick. Off to Phuket tomorrow!!!!Читать далее

Chiang Mai Day 2
1 февраля, Таиланд ⋅ ☀️ 86 °F
We woke up, got dressed and headed downstairs for our driver to pick us up. I had made arrangements with the driver from the day before to set everything up for me because he was not available today. Let’s just say the car was very very very old and the air barely worked. We knew this was not going to be a day of comfort for driving but everything was already booked for the day. I was bummed and frustrated but oh well, we have a full day ahead of us.

- Visit one of the most beautiful temples in Chiangmai, Wat Ban Den
- Visit Dantewada Angel Park, one of the most popular parks among Thai tourists for making pictures.
- Enjoy 40-minute bamboo rafting along the stream in the mountains
- Lunch, Thai buffet lunch
- Experience elephant sanctuary, feeding, bathing and learning about elephants from their mahouts.
- Visit and enjoy Sticky Waterfall, climbing this unique limestone waterfall.

We enjoyed all the activities of the day but especially the elephant sanctuary. I also really liked the waterfall, you walk all the way down via a staircase and back up to the top of waterfall on the rocks that aren’t slippery. Hence the name sticky waterfall.

We arrived back to the hotel, dropped our bags and went for 2 hour massages at a place that has all former incarcerated woman working for them. Why not support the rehabilitation program 😂😂

After massages we had a great dinner at a little Italian restaurant. We grabbed a cab back to the hotel and lights out by 9:00.Читать далее

We flew from Bali to Singapore had a quick 1 hour layover then arrived in Chiang Mai. The hotel had a driver pick us up and bring us to our hotel called Coucou, it is a new hotel located in old town Chiang Mai. We got settled in and walked to a local restaurant for dinner. After dinner we walked around a local food market, got cleaned up and went to bed.

Day 2- We woke up at 5:00am for a 6:30am Cultural tour. Which Included the following:

- Visit the hidden forest temple(a female monk temple), experience the process of making merit in Buddhist’s way (Taamboon, offer food, pouring holy water), experience monks chanting, get blessed from Buddhist monks, etc…
- Have breakfast at the temple (we ate the same breakfast as the monks after they finished)
- Stopped for a coffee at a local shop located off the road. Such a yummy smooth coffee!
- Visit the famous umbrella village “Ban Bosang village”
- Visit the famous silk making village
- Visit wood carving village “Ban Tawai”
- Lunch, at a beautiful restaurant over looking the water.
- In the afternoon visit two temples, 1. The holy temple “Wat Doikham” 2. The famous silver temple “Wat Srisuphan”

After the tour our driver took us a to a local spa where we got amazing massages. We got back to the hotel, Klaus had some work calls and I got cleaned up for the evening.

We went to a restaurant called Hummus for dinner, very nice change from Asian food. Amazing food and best baklava we have ever had. Walked back to the hotel, early morning of tours.Читать далее
