Ayutthaya

Family, Thailand, , , , ,

Ayutthaya, the ancient capital of Thailand, is a must-visit for a glimpse into the country’s rich history and cultural heritage. Once a thriving trade hub and one of the world’s largest cities and the capital of Siam (modern day Thailand), Ayutthaya is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its stunning temple ruins, intricate statues, and centuries-old architectural marvels. Surrounded by rivers, the city offers a serene atmosphere ideal for exploring by foot, bike, or boat.

Who is Joy? If you frequent our Blog you will know that every time we come to Thailand we use Mr. Chob’s “Thai Travel Guide” tour company for our private tours. For the last almost 6 years we have enjoyed Joy (a name well suited to her) to be our primary guide. She is so knowledgeable and always happy. We cannot imagine a tour in the Bangkok region without Joy present. Joy knows Mathieu as well, and they started the day with a quick FaceTime.
So colorful

Thank you Mr. Chob, Joy and Thai Tour Guide for yet another incredible day.

Tokyo (Sort of)

Family, , , ,

After almost 12 hours of flight time we made it to Tokyo. Well, Narita International, to be more accurate. This was a quick over night before we leave for Singapore in the morning. It was nice to sleep in a real bed for a bit.

Time for a nightcap before bed.
Hey – it is better than a seat on a plane!
Backup early for the airport.
With enough time for a quick Phase 10 game.
And of course, matching shirts to make sure we don’t get lost in the airport.
