Phi Phi Paradise

Last weekend i went to Koh Phi Phi for a 4 day weekend. I LOVE Phi Phi so much, it's so beautiful. My pal Katie (who was over from Sydney) and I shopped, beached, eat, danced and drank. Spectacular!

So sad, no more seafood

Koh Lide

For the Mother's Day long weekend a group of us went to an island on the west coast of Thailand called Koh Lidee. We swam,  we ate great food, we visited other islands, we played cards, went kayaking, we were mildly robbed of our money but then it was returned (what's a cheeky robbery amongst friends...or random fishermen). Fun times had by all and a huge thank you to Maew and Berret who organised the entire weekend and were amazing chefs, best campfire food EVER - yum!

Mother's Day / Queen's Birthday

August 12th is the Queen of Thailand's birthday and so it's Mother's Day in here in Thailand. At school there was a special assembly with kiddies and mummies and singing and ballet. Just a lazy day at school.
There was a mum to represent each of the classes and her kid had to get up on stage and give her a gift. But before all of that there was ballet and some delightful singing.

Costumes were great, timing was a bit off
