spiders from mars

As our time in Thailand winds down we've found ourselves in a few places that, at least for us, were off the beaten path... or at least off the beach. And this has meant both the kids and the parentals have had a taste of something different.

back to the jungle

After a much anticipated visit from Buddy and Girl's grandparents on one of Thailand's busiest islands, we are now drowning our sorrows with a good dose of hiking and exploring Khao Sok National Park. We have been lucky to have had visits with friends and family during our trip and it always takes a few days to regroup. With an epic day traveling to our guesthouse at the gates of the park, we were able to talk about homesickness and all of our friends and family at home. Today we woke up ready to hit the trail. It is extremely humid and hot here, possibly one of the hottest places we have been. But who really knows, it is all starting to blur. Add in zero wind and the constant buzzing of what has to be millions of cicadas and that is the scene of our hike.

home is wherever i'm with you

 

We are currently into the groove of school and beach, intermixed with delicious cheap food. Which makes it seem like there is nothing really to blog about. But hey, maybe you are interested in what $15 a night gets you on a chilled out Thai Island? This place has no pulse, just good vibes and that suits us in-bed-by-eight-ers quite well.
