Welcome to Thailand the "Land of Smiles"

This weekend we leave for a wonderful adventure in Thailand.  It will be wonderful to spend almost a month in the country learning new customs, eating really good food and being in nature.

One of the excursions we have planned is riding an elephant into the rainforest to look for exotic and some endangered species such as tigers, leopards, elephants, black bears, and birds.  The country boasts more than 1,000 species of birds including two endemics found nowhere else in the world, the White-eyed River Martin (pictured below) and Deignan's Babbler.


We will also visit temples, the River Kwai, many national parks, the Phi Phi Islands and the floating market in Bangkok.  Watch for more postings to see the adventures we didn't plan.  
The "Land of Smiles" awaits.
