Loved it 🙂 Are you going to do a post about where it was you went and stayed, etc? We’ve been looking at a trip to Thailand that is child-centered with fun activities and I’d love to hear what your itinerary and locations looked like.
I’m not planning a follow up post about the logistics of our trip, but I can give you a quick summary.
Our trip lasted about 12 days.
Day 1-2: Wife and kids toured Bangkok while I finished training. They saw the grand palace and the reclining Buddha. My wife liked it and the kids thought it was OK. Bangkok is not that great.
Day 3-5: Drove to Kanchanaburi and stayed at the Oriental Kwai Resort (http://www.orientalkwai.com/). This place was great. From here we went to see the tigers (http://www.tigertemplethailand.com/) and the elephants (http://www.elephantsworld.org). The drive from Bangkok is rather long– 3.4 to 4 hours.
Day 6-12: Krabi. Specifically, we stayed on Railay Beach. I can’t recommend our hotel (Railay Bay Beach Resort) but I can recommend the location. We did a day trip to Hong Island and a trip to Bor Thor. Both were really fun. The rest of the time was spent on the beach around Railay.
You’re definitely not in Utah anymore, man! Livin’ the dream! I see Ben is donning a swimsuit – that little crisis worked out too I guess! 🙂 Looks like a great time – so happy for you guys!
