Thailand is the second Thailand page. This will be the travel page of Nicole, Alicia and Alison

1)We should meet in Bangkok and arrive on November 20th to November 30th. and use the Don Mueang International airport and Hotel Bangkok Center hotel. Thats what I really want to do. 2)We should meet in Bangkok, take Untied Airlines and sleep at Century Park. That is in Bangkok. Okay,what are the prices??? It's great that you have done all that research. I decide to go to Phuket I like that better than Bangkok. I forgot the prices! Sorry. Here is the new prices for the airplane $1,662 + $104 taxes & fees = $1,766 per person so that's $5,289 for 3 people.

 =__ **Alicia’s Diary** __=

 We are still traveling to Bangkok, Thailand. We are having one stop in Tokyo, Japan and we will grab some souvenirs at the local gift shop.
 *  Day-1 **

Arrive in Bangkok the city is beautiful. Now were going to our hotel called the Bangkok Centre Hotel. To greet Thai you must place your hands at chest level together and bow slightly, women curtsy.
 * Day-2**

Half day city and temples tour, we visit to three of Bangkok's most unusual Buddhist temples, passing through China Town. Then enjoy dinner with Ti music and dance. When entering a Buddhist temple you must take of your shoes.
 * Day-3**

We had a full day tour of the Floating Market and Rose garden Country Resort with lunch. The Floating Market was great the people in boats were selling a lot of fish and other cool things.
 * Day-4**

 We transferred to the airport for a flight to Phuket. We enjoyed a half day tour of Phuket. Scenic drive by kata and Karon Beach before arriving at a hotel in Phuket. The flight was fast and a little bit boring but when you get to Phuket its worth it.
 * Day-5**

Today was our shopping day. We were all excited we visited a lot of small businesses and got great vintage clothes. After shopping we went to our hotel and enjoyed room service and tried on our new clothes. Western is the most common style in Thailand and women wear simple blouses and wrapped skirts.
 * Day-6**

We went to the islands called Phi Phi departing from the pier of speedboat.
 * Day-7**

We went on our own and explored Phuket on our own. First we relaxed at the beach and then shopped some more.
 * Day-8**

After breakfast we went back on the plane to Bangkok. When we got there we had room service and hanged out.
 * Day-9**

<span style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,0)"> We flew back to Portland and Nicole flew back to Australia. We watched Iron Man on our in-flight movie. Going to Thailand was awesome. The hotel was pretty awesome too. So was our tour guide, I loved the shopping that was my favorite part. I will miss Nicole a lot I hope she had fun too.
 * Day-10**

**Here's the diary.... you can add on. To give you a heads up "wat" means temple. <span style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,0)"> **Day-1** I arrived in Bangkok where I stayed over-night. They had good food there and was very excited for the next day.
 * <span style="COLOR: rgb(159,21,213)">__Alison's Diary__

Today, we visited the Grand Palace. There was an Emerald Buddha and a reclining Buddha they call Wat Po. I enjoyed a 30 min Thai massage after our tour car broke down. We took a boat ride down the Klongs with a visit to Wat Arun, an ancient city. Then ended the day by touring the Golden Mountian.
 * Day-2**

We were driven to Ayuthaya. Thailand's ancient capital. We were there visiting Bang Pa In, a summer palace, and seeing the ruins of ancient Ayuthaya. the boat ride back was a cool way to end the day. Seeing the rural river life was calming.
 * Day-3**

This morning, we took a helicopter to Chiang Mai. The tour the tour guide gave us was not as exciting as exploring on our own. We went to Wat Chiang Man, Wat Pra Singh, Wat Suan Dok and the Varoros market.
 * Day-4**

Today, I experienced a Elephant Safari down the river and through out the jungle. After that was a ox-cart ride to the river, then bamboo rafting down the Mae Taeng river.
 * Day-5**

I was droven to Chiang Rai. We visited a hot spring, Mae Sai Golden Triangle and ancient Chiang Saen. We visited the hill tribes there and got to do a ritual for guests. It was awesome, but in the face paint on the warriors scared me, a little bit.
 * Day-6**

We were to fly to Phuket in the morning but our flight was delayed until the afternoon. Since most of the tour was in the morning, we decided to go back to our hotel and rest. it was a nice break from all that walking.
 * Day-7**

We went on a Crusier ride to Phi Phi Islands. We did snorkeling and some swimming. We continued to Phi Phi Ley. They are famous for their birds and birds' nests. The birds were indeed exotic
 * Day-8**

Today was the end of the tour so we relaxed on the beaches of Phuket. We went to eat at Baan Rim Pa da Maurizio Ristorante Italiano. It was a Royal Thai Cuisine. Then we went to go find places to shop. We decided to go to 3 shops before leaving. First we shopped at Bangkok's Principal Markets. Then Bangrak Market and Thewet Market. I bought a potted plant called Spider plant. And IT"S EDIBLE!! <span style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,0)">I also bought a garland of flowers.
 * Day-9**

We flew back to Portland and Nicole flew back to Australia. We watched Iron Man on our in-flight movie. Going to Thailand was awesome. The hotel was pretty awesome too. So was our tour guide. No wonder my Grandpa loved it so much!
 * Day-10**

DAY1: I am still on the plane. Nearly there. I get there and I go straight to the Bangkok Centre Hotel and drop off my luggage. Then I did a little bit of sight seeing and waited for Alicia and Alison to arrive because I had gotten there much quicker. When we were all there we went to the hotel and got something to eat and strayed up late.
