Thailand

A big day of being tourists! We left the hotel with a loose plan to visit the dib museum and then to play at some parks. We called a Grab which took forever to arrive. Millie happily played with her new playmobil people. I don’t know if it’s her age or that we have completely…

We slept until 8, which on this trip is pure luxury. Praise be to good AC and actual blackout curtains. We often have one or the other but rarely both. The plan for the day was to go to a mall and get the items on our list. I’m not a big shopper in regular…

We set alarms this morning so we could pack up and have breakfast before our taxi picked us up at 8AM. We loaded into the back of an island taxi, which is the bed of a pickup truck with benches on either side, and rode the windy roads to the pier. At the pier we…

After 3 days straight of not leaving this resort, we decided it was time. We saw a small nearby island on the map and asked the front desk if it would be possible to charter a small boat to it. She called around but the cheapest she could find was for $150, which is more…

Yesterday I started the post saying we didn’t do much. Today I really didn’t do anything. I left the hotel room only twice, for breakfast and dinner. After breakfast Nick and I continued our previous night’s planning conversation. We finally decided on where to head next. Millie grew sick of our grown-up talk so Nick…

We did nothing today, in the best sort of way. We woke up and had our classic hotel buffet breakfast. We have settled into a breakfast choreography now. First, Millie scans the buffet line to see if there is anything specific she wants, which there never is. Then she goes and chooses a table. While…

We got packed up all our things and then got picked up at 9AM for a daylong snorkeling trip. As you may have gathered from previous posts, snorkeling and scuba diving are Nick’s Thing that he is working on passing down to Millie. I personally have a fear of the ocean that lies somewhere between…

This is probably going to be a shorter post. I just went back to check my photos and only took two all day! We had a classic breakfast buffet and got ready for the day. Swimsuits and a thick layer of SPF. Nick set off down the beach and rented a kayak. He took it…

We had our final breakfast at our resort in Koh Chang. This resort wasn’t fancy but we loved it. It had a great beach, good food, clean room, pretty pool. Couldn’t have asked for more. After breakfast Nick took a taxi to town while Millie and I played and packed. His mission was to get…

The theme continues, and will do for a while longer. We got a later start today and made it down to the beach at about 10:30. Millie caught more crabs. I envied her amazingly thick and wavy beach hair. We swam in the ocean and discovered a second swimming pool at this resort. We played…
