Don't You Forget

The last week in Thailand included the beach. FINALLY! I was dying the whole three months to go to the beach, it was a great way to end the summer. Mind you I got totally and completely sunburned, but it was fun nonetheless. I mean, how do you not get fried when you try to cram a whole summer of sun into 4 days...?

After we left Laos we flew to Bangkok. Then we got on another plane to Phuket. Then we spent the night there and boarded ANOTHER boat for a few hours to get to Phi Phi island. It was quite the journey to get there, but it was well worth it.

Our first night there we took a little hike up to the Phi Phi island lookout. It was beautiful. AND! We finally got to see a sunset. It always seemed to be too cloudy in Chiang Mai. This sunset was well worth the wait though!

Then we found pizza and pasta. Probably the best i've ever had. Hence why we had it again for breakfast the next morning... and yeah we ate it ALL

But like all good things, they must come to an end. I write this recap at home, in America. It's good to be home. Hasn't gone down quite how I imagined the last four months, but it is good nonetheless. Of course I miss Thailand, but I did what I went to do. And now it's time to apply all that I learned back to my real life.

At least I brought a big piece of Thailand back with me. Hence the quadrupled amount of bags that I came with... and the Aladdin pants.

I'll never forget Thailand. Now back to provo...
