Airports and Food in Thailand

When you travel a lot and spend many hours in airports, you begin to notice things in airports.  The Bangkok airport is on my cool list.  It is sparklingly clean, superbly orderly, and beautifully decorated.  
Here are a few shots of the beautiful decorations.

Another impressive airport was the one in Koh Samui.  I loved it because of the lotus ponds.  

And now for the food!  The best part of traveling, in my opinion.  One of the nicest things about Thailand is the variety of food to choose from.  One can only eat noodles and rice for so many days.  We were able to eat Cajun, Indian, French, Scandinavian (no pictures), and of course, Thai.

This concludes our Thailand trip.  Until next time.

Koh Samui

The last part of our Thailand trip was spent on the island of Koh Samui.  We stayed at a very secluded resort and it was amazing.  I wanted to do nothing but lay out and have a few drinks everyday.  And that is what I did.  We stayed at Mai Samui and thoroughly enjoyed it.  I wouldn't stay here if I wanted to experience the island.

It was beautiful, calm, relaxing and serene.  It was everything I hoped it would be.  That concludes our Thailand trip, except for the food portion.  Many of the food pictures are on my phone, but I will be making an attempt to move them to my computer.  I must get the food post done for my dear friend Kathy McDowell.  

Until next time.

Krabi

After all the hustle and bustle of Thailand, we knew we were going to need some R&R.  So, we scheduled beaches for the end of our 3 week journey.  The first beach we visited was in Krabi.  We stayed in Ao Nang beach at Vogue Resort & Spa.  We liked the resort well enough but as the area is a bit of a party town, it was difficult to fall asleep.  Luckily, there is a strict law that states bars and restaurants must be closed by 1 am.  Must of our sleep was after that time.
The beaches were beautiful.  We stayed at our hotel pool most of the time though, because there were no beach chairs to be rented.
