Sanook Maak!!

Sawatdii Kha!!! That means hello in Thai (for female!). I hope everyone is doing well! I am back from a great 6 day trip to Thailand seeing my family! It was def. too short, but I will be going back to Thailand for 4 days in 3 weeks for my cousin's wedding! I am so excited! So this post is great because I have pictures from Thailand to show you guys! Don't laugh at the pictures too much haha. I had such a wonderful trip and here is what I did:

I arrived in Bangkok on Friday night and my uncle and aunt who lives near the airport picked me up. I ate dinner at my uncle's house and saw my cousin for a little bit. Unfortunately she had to study for her final exam. I actually went to Thailand at a really bad time because this is when their semester is ending and she had a huge engineering final exam so she couldn't talk too long. Next day I went to see my grandma and the rest of my family on my father's side. It was so great to see my grandma again. As always, she loves to feed me food so that's what she did. She always says, your young! Eat! Oh I do love my grandmother so much. I also got to see some of my other cousins and that was absolutely wonderful!

The next day I left to go to Chiang Mai (which is up north) to see my mother's family for 3 days. That was also a lot of fun because I got to see everyone! Chiang Mai is actually one of my favorite places to go so I was really happy to go even if it was only for 3 days. One thing that I don't like about Chiang Mai are the mosquitos. I get bitten all the time so it was a bit annoying, but nothing too worrisome. I got to hang out with my cousin P'Thuy (Sounds like Pee Thu oey haha) and her friend and I got to drive an ATV and Buggie in the woods in Chiang Mai. It was so much fun! After 3 days of Chiang Mai, I went back to Bangkok to spend one last day with my father's family.

So the last day before I left, I went to MBK (Mah Boon Khrong) shopping center which is one of the best shopping places to go! I bought so much stuff from there it is great. It is like one big China town except indoors. I had a blast because I love to shop and I got a ton of stuff and I am so surprised I did not go over the weight limit for my baggage =D. Later that night I left to come back to Singapore. I had to come back early because I had a hospital visit today at the Institute Mental Hospital here in Singapore for my class. It was a really cool visit and great experience!

As I promised I have some pictures below! Enjoy! =) Leave a few comments! Take Care!
