Chang Mai countryside biking day

Posted on February 19, 2018 by Mommy

We had a pretty epic day biking around the quiet countryside of Chang Mai. We got to go to a local street market, visit a local school, a leper colony, some temples/statues, and just enjoy the scenery. Apparently im such a skilled biker that sweet Sabs passed out on the way home.

Thailand Part 4- Chang Mai/Nimman Road

Posted on February 19, 2018 by Mommy

Since there was still so much left to do in Chang Mai, we decided to book another Airbnb in a different area and keep exploring. The airbnb was awesome and the host filled it with some kid books and cute toys. The girls had a pretty epic bath tub which was used straight away.

We continued to explore (again mostly by foot) and booked our first two day adventures which were a bicycle tour in the countryside and a day at the elephant sanctuary. So many fun times!!

Thailand Part 3- Bangkok to Chang Mai

Posted on February 18, 2018 by Mommy

After a few days adjusting in Bangkok, we were off to Chang Mai (a smaller city north of Bangkok). It was an easy peasy 1 hour flight and we were away from the chaos of Bangkok and on to a new airbnb in the much calmer Chang Mai. We ended up staying in 4 different airbnbs in Chang Mai (because we returned due to a little stitch incident).

The first one was in a part of the city called Old City and the second in an area called Nimman. 3 of the airbnb’s were in the same building in Old City. Below is our first adventure in Chang Mai in our first airbnb in Old City.

We went to a hedgehog/guinea pig cafe, explored night markets, walked all around for hours (so much that the kids feet were peeling), went in and out of beautiful temples, found a favorite restaurant, did laundry thai style, celebrated Dada’s birthday, drank countless smoothies, swam in condo pool, rode in numerous tuk tuks, and ate loads of street food (esp waffles for sabs). It was so much fun. We just spent the first few days exploring and getting to know Chang Mai (mostly by foot and of course tuk tuks).

By this time our jet lag had wore off and we were officially on Thai time.

Thailand Part 2 – Taiwan to Bangkok!

Posted on February 17, 2018 by Mommy

The next morning we took a quick 4 hour flight to Bangkok (after 18 hours this was peanuts). We got to our airbnb and were all out of sorts from jet lag. I was making broccoli soup at 3am i think it was (def a first for me).

Thankfully we were all on the same out of whack clock so we just hung out, explored, adjusted and ate our broccoli soup at 3am :).

Below are some pics from Lumphini Park, Kidzania, Children’s museum, restaurants, streets of Bangkok and our airbnb.

Thailand trip – Part 1 – Taiwan

Posted on February 17, 2018 by Mommy

We started our journey in NYC and boarded a 16 hour direct flight to Taiwan which actually ended up being 18 hours due to a plane de-icing (but really after 16 hours who’s counting).

The girls were amazing! I couldnt believe how chill they were the entire flight and no complaining or fussing, just unbelievable. We were armed with a bunch of snacks, downloaded movies, some play foam and the plane tv (which had tons of games and movies too). It really went as smooth as an 18 hour flight could be.

Finally we arrived in Taiwan, checked into hotel near the airport and slept, stretched, ate. We had about 14 hours to relax before boarding the next flight to Bangkok, and we were very thankful for the break :).
