I've got a Krabi feeling about this...



Sawasdee,

Sorry for the delay with the updates, we have been super busy trying to get by in the land of Thai. Our travel from the states to Bangkok took roughly around 32 hours of travel time and about 25 of those hours were spent on a crowded plane.

The city of Bangkok gave us a little more for our money than we bargained, and took a little more than we anticipated. Throughout our two day stay we were able to check out some local shops, visit the grand palace, and hang on for dear life as we rode in the infamous tuk tuk through some of the not so great parts of bangkok. We found ourselves in a bogus travel agency and before we had a chance to read the warning in our lonely planet guide book we signed our thailand trip over to the high pressure sales staff of TAT. Dont worry moms, we're okay. :)



We were glad to get out of busy Bangkok and get to the city of Krabi. When we landed in Krabi we were greeted by a man holding a sign that read "Team Texas" and knew immediately that meant us. We spent the afternoon and latter part of the evening hanging at the beach and basking in the HOT sun.

The next morning we were picked up around 9am to go Whitewater Rafting and Fourwheeling in the jungle. The rafting was hardly rafting at all, and it was a disspaointment to say the least. Our fourwheeling experience however, was some fast paced high intensity fun. We went through muddy water, slippery rocks, and up and down some serious inclines and declines. If you want to hear a good story about it ask Will when he gets home. Ater our jungle experience we then feasted on some home cooked Thai cuisine...delicious.

To help us get over the body aching experience we did what any normal person would do and we got a massage on the beach. We were very happy about it but the ending itself was not "happy". We befriended the people at the massage hut and stayed under their tarp as it started to rain. We drank Chang and Singha beer and ate some Thai Pizza Hut which consisted of crab and shrimp pizza.




Needless to say our stay in Thailand has been nothing short of perfect. With the beatiful beaches and the friendly people, it's obvious why people come to visit and sometimes never leave. Don't worry we are coming home...or are we?

We hope all is well with everyone, sorry for the short blog update and we will hopefully have another one with some pictures on it tomorrow. As for now, we are off to some local bbq provided by our friend in the Massage hut #11.

Cheers,
