Hello Everyone,
We have started our journey to the southern beaches in Thailand. The first leg from Chiang Rai to Sukhothai was by a very flash bus that we were basically forced onto even though we asked for the cheapest bus. We got air conditioning and a seat each and it cost the same as seven nights accommodation.We are stating at the 'Friend' guesthouse in Sukhothai. We then went to the markets for dinner and enjoyed trying all the different foods, lots of local woman in Sukhothai have hugged us, squeezed our muscles and one lady grabbed thomas' but! Johanna and Maddy have gotten a lot of sweets and gifts for their blond hair and mum has been asked at least ten times a day if we are all her children, then there scream and laugh!
Today went we to a World Heritage Historical Park. We had trouble getting in but inside were huge Shrines, Temples and Big Buddha. It was amazing and hundreds of years old. Maddy saw a snake and we all had Banana Shakes from a very energetic lady because it was so hot! Thomas was going to get his hair cut at a Barber but saw how short the 'one style for all' cut was so Mum did it instead. Right now there is a huge dust storm and the power is out. We are hopefully going to have a spicy peanut curry for dinner that Mum had last night. The food in Thailand is delicious!

Hi,
You are all having such a wonder time. I wish I was there with you. I was once in SE Asia so I know what it is like. Where you were in Thai is where the big tsunami came in 2004. I love Thai food and Donna and I had it when we were in NZ.
Have fun and I will continue looking at updates.
Thomas, we will be going to Mt. Rushmore National Park and I know you must have been there and have a JR Ranger badge from there.
Steve & Donna
