Thailand 2013!!!

We went to Thailand December 26 to January 10th. We had such a good time.  We visited Bangkok, Chang Mai, Takli, and Uttaya.  I had so much fun seeing the elephants.  Here is a picture of Emmalena, my dad, and I riding the biggest, baddest elephant in all of Thailand.  Look how big his tusks are! 













We also went to the floating market and went on a jungle cruise.  A REAL jungle cruies, not like the one at Disnyeland. We were in a real river, with real animals, and real lightening bugs. It was pitch dark. Our driver kept stopping our boat and we kept thinking it was broken down. It was neat, but scary.


At the elephant camp, we saw an elephant show. The elephants painted, played the harmonica while they were hula-hooping, threw darts, played basketball, massaged a guy's back and played soccer.

We stayed in a tree house near Bangkok. We saw a baby and mom Komodo dragon.

We went to the night bazaar in Chang Mai. We saw Thai dancers and had our feet cleaned by fish!

 

This plant, that looks like a giant fan, is probably 12 feet tall. This is at my great aunt and uncle's house.

We also got to visit the Grand Palace in Bangkok on New Year's Eve. It was sooo crowded.  I thought I was going to scream or pass out.  People were all over me. 

 

We drove around on mopeds, it was fun.

These cute dogs were wild!



We had a great time, but by the end of the trip, I just wanted some American food - a hamburger! And, I still haven't gotten it!
