living the dream in Thailand!






We booked an Elephant Trek through out hostel which included a full day of outdoor adventures! It began with a visit to a beautiful orchid and butterfly farm. We walked around and took an embarrassing photo shoot (these pictures will likely never be relieved so I would suggest using your imagination.....) Following our photo shoot we went on a short hike through soybean fields, and pineapple, melon, and coconut trees. The end of our hike lead us to my favorite part of the day - ELEPHANTS!!! They were so cute and we were all excited to feed them bananas and have them take us around the mountains. Later on in the day we enjoyed a delicious lunch, walked though a few mountain villages, swam in a waterfall, and even went white-water rafting! Our day ended with a relaxing bamboo raft across the river.
The next day Camden, and I took a Thai cooking class where we learned to make Spring Rolls, Green Curry with Chicken, Spicy Thai Soup, and Chicken with Cashews. It was all very yummy and surprising SO easy! At the end of our class we were given a cookbook with all of the recipes as well as about 20 others to try on our own!
