To start of this post of our adventures in Thailand, it's important to know how lucky we were to stay with the Pinvises famliy. Not only had it been quite a long time since we had a nice bed and a/c, but also our meals hadn't exactly been gourmet. They took us in like family, and it was soo nice to get to know them and count them as friends. Everyday they would take us to a new place to see, and after a nice dinner we would relax at the house and usually watch a movie in their sweet movie room. I never could stay awake...They had this sweet massage chair and Kory and I were used to going to bed around 9. The night life in Cambodia and Vietnam didn't really fit our personalities.
We went out to this island and biked around for a bit. We found this pottery making place. The people were sooo good at making pottery. They were super fast. They even let us try it out. As you can see, a masterpiece in the making
Another day we took a trip out to a place called Ayutthaya. It had a bunch of old temple ruins. We took a nice bike ride around and got a couple pics. When the Burmese invaded Thailand, they destroyed the temples by taking off the heads of the buddhas. Which is very disrespectful in Southeast Asia.
One of the heads was forgotten about and it through the years a tree grew around it. pretty cool though.
We also saw these cool baby elephants that would do tricks and dance. I'm thinking about learning to be an elephant trainer in Thailand. Unfortunately it takes longer than a week so I'll have to find another time.
On Saturday we went to this super cool 7 step waterfall. Here are some pics.
It was super cool to swim in; however, there were a lot of fish and they would start nibbling on our feet if we stayed still too long. Afterwards we went to a tiger farm. Check out these.
