We're back from our vacation and here in Bangkok waiting for our flight tonight to head back to South Asia. We vacationed an hour outside of Hua Hin in a city called Prachaubkrikhan (I'm not quite sure how to pronounce that) :) haha! So, the 'Seasoned Travelers' that we are, we decided to try to get there the way the locals go (and pay the local prices)... It worked out good! We took this local bus and paid about $5 each to Hua Hin and then paid for a Tuk Tuk to take us the rest of the way. So, instead of paying over $100 to get there, we paid about $35 - nice hunh? The Tuk Tuk (rickshaw) ride was so nice! Aashini loved it (as seen on her face below) :)
The scenery was rockin! We saw tons of mountains, pineapple plantations and coconut trees! Look how bumpy these mountains are!
One thing that was really weird... we were driving in the middle of nowhere and all you could see were small pinapple plants and other trees - then, all of a sudden - this statue came out of nowhere!! It's HUGE! It was at least 4 stories tall!
I know, another picture of Aashini (and Adam)... she enjoyed the ride and fell right asleep :)
The hotel we stayed at was stinkin' awesome!! It is a family friendly hotel and it's on the beach in the middle of nowhere in a national park area! It was awesome!! I'll write more about everything later, but check out the pic below! They had these great high chairs that Aashini loved and they had a bunch of pools and a really awesome slide!!!!
It wasa great and relaxing vacation...
Did I mention that it was relaxing?....
More to come... :)
