We were welcomed after our many flights with fresh tea and towels to wash our faces and hands- we dumped our bags in our rooms, quickly either took showers or jumped in the pool then set off to explore.  It was about 3:00PM Sunday when we finally got out and about.

Gave all the kids $1000 Baht (about $30USD) and hit the streets.

1st order of business was to get foot massages or in Max’s case, neck and back massages 30 min/$3USD.  They use these wooden sticks to rub all the knots out of your feet.  When you flinch or pull away the grandma smiles, and points to the part of your body that the pain corresponded with- felt great!  Most of us then got fresh fruit smoothies- ice included right away…….I can report everyone was fine, no one got sick.

Max purchases art where ever we travel- it’s been his thing since he was like 3, this is the artist who painted his latest acquisition.  Our hotel is located with in the walls of the old city- you can see it behind Max- along our street was a weekly market that only happens on Sundays.Temples are on most blocks- here is Max photo bombing us- creep0!!!  Tomorrow (Monday May 25) we get picked up at 8:00AM to go to the elephant sanctuary- internet is supposed to be spotty so hopefully I can post- fingers crossed
