| 9/1-2/12 Khao Yai National Park, Thailand: A BIG THANKS to Tony and Kay from www.Thailandbirdwatching.com who guided us on a great 2 day trip to the beautiful National Park about 2-3 hours northwest of Bangkok. Not only were the birds great (see Asia bird blog pages) but we got to see wild elephants, monkeys, and deer wandering about. Very cool place! Also, a village market in progress on the return trip. |
| 9/9/12 Ayutthaya, Thailand: A BIG THANKS to Jackie our driver while in Bangkok. With his excellent English and knowledge of history, we felt we had a great guide and caring friend as we saw the sights! The ruins of Ayutthaya cover a huge area with 500 temples (we stopped at various wats) and it was wonderful to have him show us around. This was the cradle of old Siam and used to be a seaport. It was fascinating! Also, a floating market we stopped to see (though this was very touristy). |
| 9/3-7/12 Bangkok, Thailand: A BIG THANKS to Jackie our driver while in Bangkok. He took us to various parks Lumphini Park, Suan Phuttamonton , Suan Luang , and to the mountains. |
