Ben and I took an 11-day trip to visit Cat in Thailand! You'll notice she didn't go everywhere with us - that's because she only had a certain number of days she could take off from teaching at the school in Phitsanulok. We maxed out the time we had with her though!
Though this and the next post have many more pictures than I usually include in posts, I'm keeping the text minimal. If I tried to describe every beatuiful spot, excursion, adventure, and meal, I'd never finish these posts, so they're going to be pretty bare bones (I even pared down the photos a lot).
Blanket statements for the entire trip:
- Thailand was absolutely beautiful, incredibly enchanting, and very hot.
- We arranged for drivers to get us around while we were there and it made the trip a million times less stressful. Bonus: they had food recommendations of things to see, places to eat, and sometimes even got us better rates at attractions.
- We loved all the temples we saw, but we should have been more selective... after a while some of them started to run together.
- I couldn't get enough of the markets, though. The street food was great, we had fun looking for souvenirs to bring home, and I really loved seeing local art. The markets also attracted a wide cross-section of people, tourists and locals alike.
- After all the beautiful and interesting places we visited and good food we ate, the highlight was without question spending time with Cat.
