Old posts from my very first travel website and my first backpacking trip (a year in 2000-2001)!
We love Thailand. The Thais sure know how to have fun!
Briefly, here’s what we’ve done so far...
First we spent a week on an almost deserted beautiful tropical island. We were the only tourists there for the first 2 days, then about 10 more people arrived to share the island with us. Great snorkeling, and we swam through a cave to a hidden beach!
Then stayed in a floating hotel room on the River Khwae. Saw the bridge, saw the movie, and learned a lot about the POWs from WW2 and what they went through.
See Kanchanaburi, the River Kwai, and the Bridge Over It.
Also did an elephant ride through the forest and saw some beautiful waterfalls and caves. This is a really fun place! They have floating restaurants and discos that cruise up and down the river with really bad karaoke blasting away everyone along the river. Now we are in Bangkok livin’ it up. We are spoiling ourselves here for not a lot of money.
The Thais Are Such Happy People
Our first introduction to Thailand couldn't be better. Perfect secluded beaches, interesting history, caves, and fun in the city!
