We are back in the big city, Bangkok, for two days before leaving Thailand. It's bittersweet. We are really sad about leaving but also excited about starting the next chapter.
We are trying to do all of our last minute sounvenir shopping while we're here so we made a point to be back to Bangkok during the weekend. There is an incredibly HUGE weekend market with thousands of vendor stalls so we went today. There were so many people and tons and tons of stuff to buy. Everything from puppies to Western shirts. It was crazy! As if we didn't get enough, we're headed to the night market tonight. Tomorrow we'll visit the floating market and then off to Hawaii on Tuesday. We have a two day layover there before going home.
The last couple of weeks we've been in the islands. We found our beach paradise on Koh Pha Nang and then went to Koh Tao to dive. We spent three nights on Koh Tao. Being the smaller and more remote of the islands, I thought it was going to be quiet but since this is the #1 place to dive in Thailand, everyone was there! We saw some amazing fire shows where they twirl fire. We even saw a three year old boy do it! And Gabriel finally got to experience his first ocean dive. We did two dives on one day. There was a rumor of a whale shark at a particular dive site so our captain changed the schedule last minute. We weren't the only ones with that idea so we ended up diving with a TON of people. It was kind of a mess underwater. Divers everywhere! There was no whale shark but we did see two banded sea snakes which were really cool. Gabriel had a great time too! The second dive was better....less people. We even went through a really cool swim through that was the highlight of our dive.
All in all, we really enjoyed our time in the islands. We can't wait to show you pictures! Now it's time to go shopping. See you all soon!
