One of you asked me for a video walk around of our Airbnb space, so here it comes. We tried to go back to Royal Park Rajapruet today, it was admittedly quite hot, already mid 80s by 830am, and very very humid. Z started complaining right away, S was actually into it, and then Z…

Z and I didn’t sleep well last night (lots of awakenings). Who knows why, it just happens sometimes. He then got into my bed to snuggle at 540am and promptly fell asleep until 8am. We had planned to go back to Royal Park Rajapruet to bike and discover more today but the weather is hot…

I got a nice 3 mile run and 20 minutes of strength in this morning—yay! I made breakfast for the kids and they watched TV during my run, then I did plyometrics by the pool as they played. Ways to make this single mom traveling life work. We then had a street art tour in…

We awoke in Chiang Raí today, in our quaint hotel, had breakfast and some pool time and got picked up at the leisurely time of 930am. We headed to the Blue Temple first, which was inspired by the famous White Temple we were to see next. Every time I say to myself, really, one more…

Today we awoke at our home stay in the countryside refreshed. Well, kinda. I slept with S last night while Z got his own bed and he kicked me and stole the covers from me all night. Now I remember why I’m single 😂. We awoke around 5am as sharing a hotel room with 2…

Today was Day 1 of 3 of a personalized tour wit our now favorite Thai tour company—Untouched Thailand. Ever since I’ve seen photos of the White Tenple in Chiang Raí when we landed in Thaiiland, I’ve wanted to go as has S. Usually people do a 2 day 1 night trip to Chiang Raí, a…

We went to the infamous Sunday night market yesterday. It was very much catered to tourists, with lots of souvenirs, tourist friendly food, and inflated prices. We got there right as it opened at 5pm as we had heard it gets crowded (and it did). The boys had “earned” money for hours of sleeping on…

We’ve been here 2 weeks and the kids seem to be growing out of all their swim clothes, plus S lost his water bottle, so we decided to make a trip to the mall, as we were told that’s where to go for quality swim clothes…and since they’ll likely be swimming for hours a day…

We were looking for something local to do today so as not to endure the 30 minute ride into bustling Chiang Mai. This garden is about a 5 minute taxi ride from our villa, and admittance for the 3 of us was about $15, and $2 each to rent bikes. The gardens were beautiful and…
