Jill and Bow's Travels

Photos of Thailand!

As you will see from the pictures, Thailand has much to offer! And this is only Bangkok and the islands! We can't wait to see all of the natural wonders of the north!

Pictures from our 'Floating Market Tour'.

Beautiful carvings!

Our taxi driver! Little man, this guy puts you to shame with the decorations... but don't ask me how he sees through the windshield!

Sites of the countryside as we drove back to Bangkok. The photo on the right is a contraption the farmers use to create a current in the ponds.

Jill standing on Khao San Road in Bangkok. This area is very popular for tourists and especially backpackers! Quite a busy area as you can see.

The tallest standing Buddha in Bangkok (if not the world!) Check out the size of those feet!

The island of Ko Phi Phi Don. We had to take a long-tailed speedboat over to Long Beach, where our guest house was located. You can sort of see the development in the background on the main beach, so that was the main reason we left. Less touristy on Long Beach.

Jilly enjoying the food and the scenery!

The island of Ko Phi Phi Lei. This is the island where the movie, 'The Beach' starring Leo DeCaprio was filmed... Beautiful island and great snorkelling!

A little R&R before we watched the sunset on Ko Lanta!

Nice sunset. Doesn't Jill have beautiful toes!

Eating breakfast on the beach in Ko Lanta. As you can see when the tide is out, you have to be careful swimming, a lot of rock.

We had a nice fruit shake here while waiting for the ferry to Rai Lay Beach. Interesting how all of the buildings are up on stilts!

One of the many 'climbing walls' located right on the beach. As I sat there watching the sunset on Tonsai Beach, we could watch the rock climbers slithering up and down the rocks.

Another beautiful sunset, this time on Tonsai beach.

Jill standing on the porch of our 'mountain view' get away. It was very quaint and quite cutie, cutie as Jill would say.

The view of both Rai Lay West and East beaches from the mountain I climbed up. Kind of tricky on the way down considering the strap broke off of my sandle when I was at the top.

A couple of shots while kayaking through the caves and under the out crops of the rocks! We had a great time paddling around these wonders of nature and I know what you are all thinking... how does Bow get such a dark tan when he was only on the beach for 3 days? Contain your jealousy! ;)

Two, of many, fruit shakes that we inhaled throughout our stay in Thailand! They were amazing, but these two just happened to be the most aesthetically pleasing to the eye! And quite delicious I might add!
