Riding around in Thailand

When we left home it had been snowing. But Thailand is very hot! There are many islands and beaches here. Thailand is in southeast Asia and is between the Pacific and Indian Oceans. The capital is Bangkok.


This is Thailand's flag.

While we were there, I rode many different things. The plane ride to Bangkok was three hours, then we rode a bus for 2 hours to a beach. To get around in Thailand, we rode tuk-tuks and songtaws. Songtaws are little trucks with seats in the back and tuk-tuks are three wheeled motorcycles. I even rode on the skytrain - it is like a subway, but it goes

This is me on the skytrain. above the roads. Many people here also ride elephants! The elephants I saw were very hairy and tall, but they were nice. The people who drive them are called 'mahouts'.

This is a sangtaw. This is me in a tuk-tuk.

Thailand has a king. He has ruled for over 60 years! That is the longest any king has ever ruled. The people love him very much. They always stand to honor him, even before a movie starts, the people will stand up. There are over 65 million people in Thailand. Thailand used to have a different name - do you know what it was? Let me know if you do, okay?

My next adventure will be about all the fun times I had on the beaches in Thailand!

See you then!
