Saturday, January 17th and 18th, my husband and I took a brief but great weekend excursion to Hua Hin, Thailand. This small resort town is on the beach, close to four hours by 3rd class train, south of Bangkok. After a long, somewhat painful ride on the 3rd class train, we arrived into town. We walked from the Hua Hin train station through the middle of town and found ourselves a nice hotel on the beach to stay at over night. The website can be viewed at: http://www.thailandhotels24.com/huahin/laksasubha.htm#hotel

We spent the evening touring the night markets, and ate a lovely dinner outside on the street. The next morning we woke up and headed to the beach where we ate breakfast, had a nice long and lovely stroll along the beach after eating, returned back to our hotel and napped, showered and then headed to find a rental car. We obtained a car and headed out of town toward the Pulau Waterfalls. This was a beautiful drive!

Along the way we spotted a beautiful Waat visible from a bridge. We stopped to take some photos of the Waat. As we were taking photos, we noticed some young boys in the river, spear fishing. I enjoyed the opportunity to lay on the road and lean my head out of the bridge to take many photos of these cute kids!







Following are wild monkeys that we spotted on the side of the road as we drove to the Pulau Waterfalls outside of Hua Hin.







After visiting the beautiful waterfalls we headed back to Hua Hin to return the rental car and made our way back to Bangkok. It was a nice, refreshing trip over that weekend.

This last weekend, January 24th and 25th, we spent in Bangkok. My husband played golf all of Saturday with some friends of his and I spent time exploring throughout China Town. Sunday we spent time enjoying the company of one another at home and then went to church in the afternoon. We have a favorite place to eat that we usually head to immediately after church - a little ritual of ours. We went there, ate a delicious dinner and headed back home. Another lovely, low-key weekend.

This weekend we are headed to the river Kwai, in Kanchanaburi, Thailand. We will explore the the Death Railway, hit the JEATH War Museum, visit the war cemetery, and possibly Hellfire pass on Saturday. On Sunday we will sleep at a National Park and climb up another famous waterfall known to be one of the most beautiful waterfalls in all of Thailand, the Erawan Falls. I will look forwards to updating you on the events of this upcoming weekend!
