more thailand.


Day 5...the long day.
{Okay, we can call it the exceptionally full day! It doesn't sound quite as negative!}

Itinerary:
The White Temple, Chiang Rai
Visit Longneck Hill Tribe Village
Golden Triangle...where Thailand, Burma, & Laos meet
Longtail Boat across Mekong River to Laos

It was absolutely incredible! So beautiful.
The creepy hands...I'm sure there is some significance.
Our visit to see the hill tribes!
It is incredible how much they weigh...
we asked some of the girls when they put them on for the first time.
They said it was when they were around 5! Wow.
Better get Abby's on order...birthday in April!
One of the families!
We bought some of their scarves! :)

The girls with their new friend!
Cute little restaurant!
LUNCH!
Well, what's left of it anyway!
Still smiling after all the hours in the car
Abby & Gertrude
Golden Triangle
Longtail Boat
Unc manning the front of the boat!
Burma...it's a casino
Here we are in Laos
The girls loved the crazy boat!
Last picture of the day...
we then made the LONG trip back to Chiang Mai.
We had dinner at 9:30p.m.
In bed by 10:30. Party animals.


Bloggy love,
