We are in the last portion of our trip, and the reality of our flight home on Jan. 14 is sinking in. We were actually scheduled to leave Thailand on Jan 4th, but were able to extend the trip without any fees from AirAsia. We just are not ready to be done!
After Laos we travelled to Khao Yai National Park NE of Bangkok where we stayed with Greenleaf Guesthouse/Tours. There, we were shown this beautiful area by Nom, Lek, Joe, and Birdman, the family running the tour. Very friendly, knowledgeable folks who really took great care of us.
After a stop in Bangkok for New Year's we headed south and after a very brief stop in Phuket, we arrived on Koh Samui. Thailand's second biggest island has been wonderful. We are staying in the old fishing village of Bo Phut and soaking up the last of the sun. Last night at the local pub we were entertained by a French Elvis impersonator (think BIG Elvis) in an Irish bar on Koh Samui, Thailand. Wild!
Tomorrow back to Bangkok.
We still have many pics to post and stories to tell, I'm sure we will be continuing to update after we get back home.
We hope you've liked the updates, we have really had fun keeping up with the blog and sharing what will definitely be the trip of a lifetime. Until the next one, of course...
Thanks for all of your comments, 16 weeks on the road can get weary, and we loved hearing posts from back home.
Miss you all,
