Thailand with the Sibs

It's been awesome getting to travel with Kim and Chris (my sister and brother-in-law) in Thailand this past week. Unfortunately, they've each had a turn at being sick in their first week in Asia. Our trio has turned to duos during some of our day outtings, but it's been great still (says the only one who hasn't had fever!).

In Kanchanaburi, Chris and I rented a motorbike and rode to Erawan Falls, an impressive 7-tiered waterfall. We hiked up to the 6th step, and took a dip one of the crystal blue pools, dodging toe-nibbling fish. The hour ride out to Erawan National Park was gorgeous. The trip back was bone-chilling, as raindrops slapped at our skin and wind tore at our sopping clothes.

At Tiger Temple, the three of us got up close and personal with the big cats, and a couple cubs too.

In Sangklaburi, I took Kim and Chris on a tour of Baan Unrak School and Children's Home. And I got to introduce them to some of my friends and favorite kiddos!

Two days ago, a night bus brought us north to Chiang Mai. Kim and I visited the Tribal Museum to learn about the main hilltribe groups in Thailand. And the three of us made a trip to the Malaria Testing Clinic just to be sure (negatives on both the sibs).

Today, Kim and I took a day-long Thai cookery course. It was so fun! Our teacher was a real comedian. The experience was educational and entertaining.
