As we prepare to leave Thailand after 2+ weeks, just a few parting shots and a proverb.
We first met Chob 17 years ago during our initial trip to Thailand, and ever since, he has made every visit truly memorable. Tonight, we enjoyed a ride around the city in his private Tuk Tuk.Us with Chob in 2007 – we were all looking a little younger back then.We fit! But it was a little bit of a clown show when there was the driver, Chob, and us 2 getting in and out. So much fun and a great way to see Bangkok at night.The Royal PalaceChina TownDinner with friends: Chob, Francois, Jonathan and ScottWe wish for you the best in 2025 — Jonathan & Scott
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 colorfulLunch time.Boat ride in the rivers and canals surrounding Ayutthaya
Thank you Mr. Chob, Joy and Thai Tour Guide for yet another incredible day.
