Trips around Thailand, July 2011.

*UPDATE APRIL 2016 - WE HAVE SINCE REALISED THAT RIDING ELEPHANTS AND VISITING TIGER TEMPLES/KINGDOMS IS A BIG NO-NO. SEE OUR AFFILIATED SITE FOR DETAILS AT WWW.SUSTAINABLESIAM.COM*

Erika's parents came to Thailand for the first time in July - here is the result! We re-visited Kanchanaburi, Koh Phangan, Chiang Mai, Chiang Dao and parts of Bangkok. Videos below and some great pics too. Enjoy...

Thanks y'all.
