For our honeymoon, Heather and I were very fortunate to receive gift money to travel to Thailand for two weeks. Starting off with two days in Bangkok, then on to Phuket where we stayed in a couple of luxury resorts. We also spent 3 days in a luxury tented camp in
Elephant Hills.

| Wat Pho |
The second day we had, we visited a floating market, south of Bangkok
 |
| The Railway Track Market of Samut Songkhram |
 |
| This market has a rail line running through it |
 |
We then travelled further south to a place where they
showed you all the things you can do with a coconut |
 |
As well as coconut milk, they were making sugar; cups, bowls;
coconut oil, nothing seemed to be wasted |
 |
| We then arrived at the floating market |
 |
| Our tour guide then took us to the Royal Thai Handcraft Center |
 |
This is one large piece which has been handcrafted.
This particular carving, is for Barack Obama's visit in November |
 |
| We then moved on to Phuket, and to the Marriott. This is the first day on the beach... |
 |
| Nice view, eh? |
 |
On our arrival, we were taken on a canoe trip round the jungle,
where we spotted the local wildlife |
