Asia Trip 2012: Thailand
June 05, 2012Woohoo, I'm finally back in Hong Kong and no longer held in the clutches of the Great Chinese Firewall. So frustrating not having access to Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Blogger and even Google at times!! Yes, I am a slave to social networking.
Anyway, I'm still in Hong Kong for another day, but managed to put together some of my pictures from my time in Thailand. I went to visit Pattaya and Bangkok - the time I spent there definitely wasn't enough, so I can't wait to be back soon!

Riding an elephant sounds like so much fun! The closest I have gotten to that experience is riding a camel.

OMGOSH your thailand pictures are AMAZING!!! loved loved looking through all your snapshots through the food stalls and night markets.. that nitro milk ice thing looks REALLY interesting.. i'm curious as to what the texture tastes like!
ReplyDeleteThe texture was really smooth! It almost felt smooth like pudding, but really cold like ice cream! They apparently have something like it in Vegas.. if I find out where I will let you know! :)
DeleteAmazing pics! I went to thailand many years ago and miss it so much.
ReplyDeleteWow, beautiful pictures!! I hope you've enjoyed your trip :)

Did you find this delicious-looking Madagascar vanilla ice cream made with liquid nitrogen in Bangkok? I feel like I'll be having a food coma soon just by gazing at your food pictures in Thailand. Food trip really makes Thai travel more exciting!:)
ReplyDeleteYep - had it at a stall in Siam Paragon. My travels are always food related...!
DeleteOMG....your trip looks like a lot of fun and a lot of delish food! hahahaha i've tried those deep red dragon fruits in HK too. I somehow think they taste more sweet???
ReplyDeleteomg you went elephant riding!? How did you like that? My friend told me they are really hairy and thick/tough skin, lol....
Good to see you back at blogging!!!:D

The elephant riding was fun! But so weird at first. I never knew elephants had such coarse hair! It's all over their bodies and soooo scratchy. We actually had to stand on the elephant in order to get on it.. I was so scared haha!
