A Fun Trip to Thailand–Part 2

Here are some pics from the rest of our time there.

One of the fun things about Chiang Mai is the red truck taxis. They have to be one of Callie and Zane’s favorite things there. Whenever we went somewhere they always wanted to ride in a “red truck”. What it is is that they take a small size pickup, put a roof over the bed, install bench seats along each side, remove the tailgate, and install a lower down step on the back, and now you can fit about 10 –12 adults in the back, all on the benches. Whenever you want to take one, you just hail him over, bargain a price, and hop in!

Along the theme of transportation, Jeremy usually rents a motorbike when we’re here just for getting around town and running any errands, so we had some fun getting the kids on it for pictures.

Among other fun things to do there were the playgrounds and swimming pool where we stayed. Here are a few pics from those.

Lastly, Chiang Mai has a great zoo and aquarium. Here’s a pic and video from that day. That is a huge stingray right behind him. We were in one of those tunnels where the fish are all around you.
