Our trip began with a ten-hour flight to Bangkok. This is the capital of Thailand and a really busy city.

We enjoyed lots of sightseeing trips, including a trip to the floating market where many of the locals trade fruit, vegetables and even souvenirs from their boats.

We saw an amazing show, called the Siam Niramit. The show tells the story of Thailand through the ages, with colourful costumes that really brought the show to life. There were even some performing elephants.

We also spent a day at the spice and flower markets and the Golden Palace.

After a few days in the city we flew to Phuket. In Phuket we went kayaking thorough some interesting caves and some amazing sites. 

Our trip ended with an incredible elephant trek through the hills.

We had a great time and look forward to going back again.
