What a great sight to see my sister in BKK airport. I was very impressed at how light she packed. Nice work sister.
Mindnumbing shopping in BKK
Koh Phi-Phi was absolutely beautiful, hence double the price (and sometimes triple) of the rest of Thailand. On our second day there we went on a full day snorkeling trip around the islands. The coral and the fish were impressive and the landscape unreal. Our first excitement of the day was on monkey island when two monkeys ‘attacked’ Cher. I saved her life (hee-hee) by swatting them with my snorkel fins. Then as she swam from the beach to the boat she was nibbled on by a couple fish. At our next snorkel spot, she was stung on her lip by a jellyfish. We got back on the boat and the pain kept getting worse and worse, so we ended up leaving early to get to the Pharmacist. Long story short, the pain was increasing and after 6 hours we decided to go to the hospital for some pain meds so she could sleep. 30 minutes and $30 later we were in bed, and the next day she felt a lot better, and 100% the day after that. Cher is a tasty little morsel…
We were the Goldilocks of Phi-Phi as we moved hotels each night and finally found one that was “just right” our last night there. Our cute little bungalo at the Viking Resort had an outside shower and a lovely spacious patio with sun chair and hammock overlooking the ocean. We

didn’t want to leave.
Chiang Mai has been awesome- meeting lots of friendly locals, cute little restaurants and bars, sparkly wats (temples) and a shopping extravaganza (in BKK too…). And massage every day. Love-it!
Heading to Pai again tomorrow to rent scooters and tool around the mountains. Wish us luck.
