Thailand Day 6 and 7

We took the boys to a dinner show Called Siam Niramit. Let's just say that the food was amazing. Buffet style and mostly Thai food. Yum! Everything delish. My favorite of the night was the crackling Thai noodle salad, and the curry soup. They provided a preshow show outside and brought out a traditional elephant army procession and let us take pictures. The show was just as good as any Broadway performance that we have seen. The front of the stage turned into a river within the first 30 minutes and then there was a Thai downpour which we were experiencing most of the time we were there. They brought out live animals including elephants goats and chickens. They has fantastic costumes and the dancing was amazing. It kept both boys attention. And better than that we were in Thailand during the slow season and the cheap seats were great. We were next to the stage and were very pleased.














Not much to see at the Phuket zoo, but it was fun to be able to see a few of the different shows that they had. This was the hottest and best weather day that we had while we were there and had a great time.


A little scary and sad as to how these elephants were in the cages. They were out in the open like this and just chained into a thing in the ground by one foot chain. Humm. Are we really safe?



















This was how close we were to these lovelies.











This guy had just stuck his head inside it's mouth. My camera was too slow to capture it!

  1. This is so cool! I want to see all of this stuff. I can't believe how close you were to the elephants...way better than the zoo! Also, that monkey riding the trike is hilarious. The more I read on your posts, the more I kept thinking, that would be fun, that would be awesome, that sounds so cool. Now I want to go to Thailand. :)
