I think I have done a great job of keeping the blog up to date even while on vacation here in Thailand. Scroll down and onto the next page to see for yourself. Anyways there are a couple random photos from the trip that for one reason or another missed out on these posts. I couldn’t let them get lost on my hard drive though so take a look.

It’s New Years Eve here currently so I will be heading to the beach shortly to do the only thing that makes sense; party. The champagne will be on ice over here, as I hope it is wherever you all are! Happy New Years!

Elephant Trekking.

The other day I got the unique opportunity to ride an elephant. Apparently this is a big tourist attraction here in Thailand. I can’t say it was too eventful as the elephant moved at it’s own slow pace but, for a person who likes to “check things off the list” in life, this was pretty cool. We went through the jungle for 30 minutes to the top of a hill with a great view of the Andaman Sea. Afterwards we got to feed the elephant bananas and bamboo. Check the video and the photos.

How cliche is that title?

Anyways… today my friends and I chartered a 100 foot yacht and went on an all day tour of the islands surrounding Phuket in Thailand. The scenery was breathtaking and the water was amazing. We had a staff on board taking care of everything for us including cleaning, driving and catering. The yacht was quite impressive with 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a kitchen and a living room area on the inside not to mention all of the obvious things that are expected on the outer area of a boat. We drank and ate a lot, did some snorkelling and basically just took in a lot of sun. Check some of the photos I was able to get.

In Thought.

By the way, I have referred to myself in the past as the “whitest boy ever” but it wasn’t until I saw how I looked with a few coats of sunscreen on that I realized how true that statement really is.

I also made a video from one of the islands which includes a brief tour of the yacht in the second half, check it out below.

As far away from the mall as possible; exactly where I wanted to be on boxing day. For more photos from my travels in Thailand check out my Facebook page.
