Thailand Temple

We visited a dazzling temple in Phuket, Wat Chalong, is the biggest pagoda in Phuket. I love the vibrant gold colors and artistic shape of the temple. It was just magnificent. Posted by Picasa

Water Lilies in the rain

Even it rained a little during our trip in Thailand, but the water didn’t reduce any fun factors at all. Look at how beautiful the water Lilies was in the rain! I love how the rain drops from the leafs and created beautiful rings at the pond. The rain only showered for 5-10 minutes, soon came with sunshine and crisp fresh air after the rain. Posted by Picasa

Elephant Ride

What could a trip to Thailand without riding an elephant? It couldn’t. I was dreaming about riding an elephant before the trip. This year trip to Thailand was inspired by an elephant picture frame I purchased last Christmas. I really wanted it to have a picture of me riding an elephant in this picture frame. I know it sounds very silly, but I have to tell you it was a wonderful feeling when you made your dream came true! On the day 3 of the Thailand trip, we finally went on an elephant ride in the nice surrounding out in the jungle. The view up on the elephant was completely cool. I especially love being in the ultra slow motion on this ride. You could really slow down enjoy the surrounding of this amazing jungle has to offer; the trees, the sun light and air and the people around you. The ride not only makes me feel like a royalty, but also let me understand what “take easy” means in the Thai culture. Posted by Picasa

Good bye, Phuket Island.

On the quiet and clear evening, we had to say “good bye” to our magical trip in Phuket Island. We brought all of the fantastic memories with us to the airplane, watching Phuket Island getting smaller and smaller until it disappeared in the clouds. I said to myself, I will be back in the other time. Posted by Picasa

Moon watching on the Moon Festival

Moon watching on the Moon Festival was a beautiful thing. Everything was so quite and peaceful in the air. You can hear nothing but the sound from the airplane engine and your own thoughts. The Moon was perfectly bright and round in the beautiful gradient of blue and purple sky. I couldn’t thing of more perfect way to conclude my wonderful Thailand trip. Posted by Picasa
