Amazing Thailand

This is our Amazing trip to Thailand.

We went in August 2007 16 days and visited Bangkok, Chang Mai and Phuket. I Planned and organized the entire trip my self using Trip Advisor.com. The Forums provide great information. We hired private guides in Bangkok and Chiang Mai. In Bangkok we stayed at Bangkok-Marriott-Resort-and-Spa and toured with Tong. In Chiang Mai we stayed at Kata Beach Hotel and toured with Sergent Kai. Our guides took great care of us and showed us sights that you would not find if you went on a commercial tour. In Phuket we stayed at Kata Beach Hotel and did not get a guide. I booked the hotels directly using Sawdee.com and had no problems. Sawdee.com also has lot of great information. I booked the in country flights using AirAsia. It was so cheap! It cost $250. for 4 roun trip tickets Bangkok to Chiang Mai and Bangkok to Phuket.

I created a video slide show of our trip that highlights the our journey and gives you a taste of our trip of a life time 

 This was our basic Itinerary. I have list the major sights that we visited. there were some many places and things It was hard to keep track of every thing.

One of my favorite parts of the trip was getting to taste all types of Thai food. We eat everything we saw. We stopped in several street markets, road side vendors, local restaurants, floating vendors and Thai snack food at 7 -11. They say in Thailand there are 3,000 Temples, 4,000 message parlors and 5,000 7-11’s they are every where! The kids tried everything but they could not live with out Mc Donald’s and Kentucky Fried Chicken. 

You thought they only had Tigers at the Tiger Temple. We were so lucky that our tour guide Tong got us a private showing to see Bam Bam the Bear. I was so scared, you have to see this to believe it …On our last day in Bangkok we went to the weekend market and we finally found deep fried Crickets. They are so crunch!
