We definitely had fun traveling in Thailand! We definitely learned a lot on our trip! The kids learned that you can make friends anywhere, even if you don’t speak the same language Ryan told me, “Mom, I didn’t know I would make friends in Thailand. My new friend kept talking to me, but I didn’t … [Read more…]
Before our trip, I booked our Kunming and Khon Kaen hotel through Agoda.com. When we flew into China it was going to be late, We didn’t know the city or the language, so I wanted to make sure we had something reliable to go to. When we flew into Khon Kaen, on a national holiday, … [Read more…]
Most of the food we got in Thailand was street food from vendors, or a restaurant that basically had a roof or some sort of covering and tables and chairs. I think we ate at one Thai Restaurant that had air conditioning. McDonalds, Pizza Company, and Swensens all had air conditioning and were in real … [Read more…]
Chiang Rai, April 23-April 27, 2019 We finally made it to Chiang Rai! After leaving Phayao we headed straight for the White Wat. The White Wat was about an hour drive from Phayao and right on the way to Chiang Rai. Chris went to the White Wat when he was living in Chiang Rai before. … [Read more…]
Driving to Chiang Rai from Loei with stops in between: April 21-April 23, 2019 Chiang Rai is one of my favorite places in Thailand. There is so much to do, from waterfalls to elephants. The food is amazing in this region as well, and the weather is cooler since it is up in the mountains. … [Read more…]
Loei April 19-April 21, 2019 Loei was the biggest surprise this trip! Its a city I had never heard of before. Chris had never been there or heard of it either. When I was researching things to do in the Isaan Loei kept popping up. It was definitely high up on my list of places … [Read more…]
Nong Khai April 18-April 19, 2019 We made it to Nong Khai late evening on Thursday. When we were first planning our trip to Thailand we had no plans of going to Nong Khai. We were just going to go to Yasothon and Roi Et, then take a more direct route to Chiang Rai. The … [Read more…]
Khon Kaen April 16-April 18, 2019 We flew into Khon Kaen about 8:00 PM on Saturday April 13, 2019. We went straight to our hotel, we didn’t even eat dinner, and went to bed. When we woke up we ate breakfast at our hotel, checked out and we left Khon Kaen for a few days. … [Read more…]
Yastothon April 14-April 16, 2019 Yasothon was our first major destination when we went to Thailand. We did fly into Chiang Mai, then caught a flight right away to Khon Kaen.

During Songkran the city shuts down, people go home to celebrate with their families, and the country has a giant water fight! The … [Read more…]
Thailand is great, but getting there is kind of rough! For us we went to two other countries before we even made it to Thailand! We saved about $200 a ticket by flying out of Vancouver Canada, which is about 2 hours away from our home. It was definitely worth it for us to fly … [Read more…]
When we were in Thailand we went ALL over the place! Since we did a lot of things I will break those up into different blog posts, but here is a quick over view of the trip! First we drove to Vancouver Canada after Chris got home from work on April 10, 2019 and stayed … [Read more…]
Chris and I travel very similarly to each other, but probably fairly different from a lot of people. We are busy and like to go go go. We don’t necessarily want to over do it, but we do want to do a lot! We also aren’t really beach people. Although we do enjoy the water … [Read more…]
We recently took an epic family trip to Thailand! I love traveling/going on adventures and I loved doing it with my family as I was growing up. I lived in China for about a year (6 months once, then 4 months the second time) and since then I was hooked on traveling. I don’t really … [Read more…]
This was a different reading month for us, since most of the month we were traveling in Thailand. I figured I’d either read a lot, or not much at all. I don’t tend to read too much on vacation because our vacations are normally go, go, go. But I figured I may read a bit … [Read more…]
