Thailand!!

Hello Fam and Friends,

Last week I had a one week vacation and headed to Thailand! It was an amazing place and extremely beautiful. It is expensive to get to but well worth it and once you get there expect to spend little. I won't bore you with too many details, but while there I visited Bangkok for 1 day then headed to the South Western part of the country.

Bangkok wasn't the most impressive city, but if you like endless temples and cheap shopping it is definitely for you. After one day of being there, I had had enough "cheap suit!" offers to last me a life time.

Thailand's definite strong point was it's beaches and country side. I headed to Krabi Thailand where I visited a few temples and rented scooters for a day and headed into the country side looking for Buddhist temples and a natural hot spring waterfall. I found out the next day that Thailand has one of the higher scooter death rates in the world. Oops. In my defense it was only $5 for 24 hours. How could I pass that up? Funny story though, I was robbed by a monkey at the "Tiger Cave" Buddhist temple. I was waiting outside in front of a convenience store waiting for a friend when a monkey, out of no where, snatches a bag of peanuts from me. He ran way and climbed on the roof of the store, opened them and had a little feast. At least he shared with his friends.

Next we headed to Ko Phi Phi Island, one of the more famous and most touristy. I didn't mind though. We took a long tail boat ride around the island and stopped at various beaches, including Maya beach where the movie "The Beach" was filmed. Needless to say all the beaches were amazing.

Overall I had a great time. I posted some pics and am waiting on a friend ( Who took alot more pictures than I did) to pass me her pictures and I'll post them. For now I posted what I have at the bottom. Oh BTW a Thai massage in Thailand ( no happy ending) is about $7. I got 3 . Score for me.
