Saying goodbye to family is always difficult, but our time has come and so Megan, Katie and I were dropped off at the Chiang Mai bus terminal to head south. We wanted to thank our family for such an amazing 3 months. It is a rare experience to be half way around the world and have a home. We were able to share the exciting, mundane, and everything in between together. We love each one of you so much!!
Here's a few more photos from the day...
After our short stay in the ancient city we took a van to Bangkok, made a quick switch to another van taking us to the Koh Samet pier and after a short ferry we were at the BEACH!!!
We had two nights on the beautiful but strange island of Koh Samet. The people on the island were slightly unusual, particularly the men who worked at the restaurants and bars. Let's just say they were very friendly to the ladies and tried about every cheesy pick up line in the book. We left the island and made our way back to Bangkok arriving a few hours later than we were supposed to and discovered that nearly every hotel was full. Megan and I search all over the obnoxiously loud and crazy Khao San Rd until we found the dingiest little room right above all the madness.
Loud music was playing all night and we had to catch our shuttle to the airport at 4am so there wasn't much sleeping. But we made it out of there and got to the airport. We were so excited to share our last few weeks with Katie. We had a whirlwind adventure, which was a perfect goodbye to Thailand.
And now we're in Kolkata, India!!
Our first stop down south was Ayutthaya, the acient capital of Thailand. We rented bikes for a dollar and rode around the city. The ruins are spectacular and I couldn't think of a better way to see them than on bikes... oh wait you can see them while riding elephants!!
But the bikes were way cheaper so we stuck with our two wheeled mounts.
