Thailand: Tigers and the Floating Markets

Tigers in Thailand! Just about two hours outside of Bangkok, G & I were lucky enough to visit a Tiger Conservatory led by Monks. This epic visit was no easy feat (car sick Jane.. bleh!), but it was worth it! These animals were so cool and though it was a bit scary, they were beautiful!

We also visited the famous floating markets (the "Venice of Thailand") where there were a ton of textiles, fruits, vegetables and restaurants. The market was totally vibrant, loud and buzzing with tourist. 

Did I happen to mention Thailand was hot, hot, hot!? Weather was high 80s, lower 90s. Good thing I found a coconut stand. So, we spent the day looking at handmade goods, and finding some solid deals. I'm totally diggin' Thailand! :)

Thailand: The Grand Palace





T H A I L A N D 
G & I made it! The journey took us 23 hours of travel through Chicago and Seoul to arrive in Bangkok! You may remember that G & I traveled to Cancun last year -- a short, short 5 hours. Alas, this year we hit up the other side of the world for some adventures. Check out the packing details here! 

First Stop:  The Grand Palace. This impressive and beautiful palace was the home of the Kings of Siam. We explored the grounds for hours, and visited the Emerald Buddha. We were greeted with heavy rain! However, it did not deter us and certainly did not take away for the majestic scenery.

How to Pack: Look by Look





















I love visiting new places, but packing is probably one of the most arduous tasks, especially for an international trip. However, it's always worth the effort and planning for a great destination. For a few weeks "G" and I are going to Thailand on holiday.

Here is a quick preview of some looks that I'll be wearing over the trip.
