I enjoyed my 8 week trip to Thailand so much!
The 3 week tour was fantastic, I saw and learned so much.
The jungle trekking was pretty tough (for a woman of my advanced years!!), however, I was really pleased I did it and felt a huge sense of achievement when I reached the campsite.
I experienced so many things during my trip, washing in rivers, fantastic food, wonderful people and fantastic scenery to name but a few.
We also saw so many different things, the temples, palaces, waterfalls, I could go on and on. Our guides Aoi and Ocha were really great, nothing was too much trouble and they kept us all entertained. |
The beach week on Koh Chang was brilliant - we needed a rest after the 3 week whirlwind tour of Thailand.
What a beautiful island, it was so relaxing and the hotel was great.
However, by far my favourite part was the 4 weeks I spent with my elephant. I was totally enthralled by the whole experience. |

I have to admit that I was quite fearful about riding these huge beasts but that fear quickly disappeared.
Everybody was so kind and patient and I really did have the time of my life and that is probably why I am finding it so hard to settle back into the ‘rat-race'!!
