Thailand Trip Part 2!
With all the wedding stuff we’ve been posting recently, we wanted to revisit our Thailand/India trip and pick up where we left off. After flying out of Phuket, Alan, Jack and I flew in Chiang Mai (Northern Thailand). This region was very mountainous, with a cool climate, a nice break from the unrelenting humidity that we experienced in Bangkok! Alan took us elephant riding, which was definitely a highlight of trip for us all! It’s hard to describe the feeling of riding two stories above the ground, while sliding around in the platform atop the elephant…oh, and one of our elephants turned to be really hungry and kept pestering us for bananas and sugar cane lol. We visited a shopping center with vendors packed in like sardines, checked out a Buddhist monk academy and temple, and tried a ton of delicious (and authentic) food!
After Chiang Mai, we flew back to Bangkok. We made the trip out to Amphawa Floating Market, an iconic area where vendors set up their boats along a large canal and see their food. Alan also learned that he was going to have two baby girls, an ironic twist, as he had been planning on having two boys, or a boy and a girl!
We’ll never forget when we were about to enter the movie theatre to watch “Wizard of Oz” in the shopping center, when Alan got the call from his surrogate agency…the babies had just been born! It was a whirlwind ride the next few days, and we promptly left for India. But we’ll save that for another post 🙂
