Andrew, Nate and Dan in Thailand this past July at the King's Winter Home in Chiang Mai.

Visiting Thailand was great fun. We stayed in Bangkok for a few days and visited the Emerald Buddha and got lost. We even had bruch with the Prime Minister and his entourage at the Royal Princess Hotel. I think most people do manage to get lost in Bangkok; it's so large and full of people and cars going every which way. It's quite easy to get turned around and suddenly find yourself (and the others with you) miles out of the direction you were heading.
Now I loved Chiang Mai- I could live there! But I would never take the train from Bangkok to Chiang Mai again. Its like in French Kiss, "Stop the Rocking"- its too many hours, rocking back and forth...in this case a 16 hour train ride (they say 12) versus and 1 hour flight? Well, we did it twice and next time I'll opt for the quick flight!

The rest of the pictures are on Flickr for everyone to enjoy.

The people of Thailand are very friendly and have great smiles, they make you want to return. I will and next time I will go south too.
