We have arrived(到达)in the hot, wet city of Bangkok(曼谷). This is our first trip to Thailand (泰国). We are going to eat something delicious(美味的)for dinner tonight. The hotel we are staying in is cheap, and very clean. We plan to stay here for a few days, visit some places in the city, and then travel to Chiang Mai(清迈)in the North.

Bangkok is wonderful! The places are interesting. We visited the famous market which was on water, and saw a lot of fruits and vegetables. Everything is so colorful, and we have taken hundreds of photos already! Later today we will leave for Chiang Mai. We will take the train north, stay in Chiang Mai for two days.

Our trip to Chiang Mai was long. We visited a small village in the mountains. The village people here love the quiet life―no computers or phones. They are the kindest people I have ever met. They always smile and say "hello". Kathy and I can only speak a few words of Thai, so smiling is the best way to show our kindness. We feel good here and hope to be able to come back next year.
