June 2017 A visit from Elder Cook and Marisa

 Elder Cook greets Thai members at the Service Center in Bangkok
 Waiting for Elder Cook to arrive
 Special meeting with the missionaries and Elder Cook
 Went to an orphanage with Som and Pui to donate some necessities
 The kids were adorable and excited about the donations
 Marisa arrives in Thailand!
 We went to the Grand Palace that afternoon




 There are still mourners dressed in black going to pay their respects to the late King
 It was so hot that day.  We both had a little heat exhaustion.
 The famous reclining Buddha
 Pots for donations
 She was happy to be here

 The many images of Buddha



 Then we went on a river cruise

 Wat Arun
 A bridge over the Chao Phraya River
 The Grand Palace
Next day was Khao Sok National Park in Thailand
 Staying in a tree house. Living like Tarzan!
So many exotic flowers




 The path to our tree house
 We had a visitor
 Marisa's first song thaw ride
 Overlooking Khao Sok National Park
 We stopped at a waterfall
 Mommy and daughter
 We went to a natural hot springs
 Forever sweaty
 We stopped at a market
 Had to check out the pink eggs
Then on to a tour of Khao Sok Lake
 The water was such a beautiful emerald green







 Our jungle guide
 Heading to a cave on a bamboo raft
 Our guide told us the stalactites grow 1 cm every 100 years


 On our way back
 After 2 days in Khao Sok we traveled to Phi Phi Island and stayed there for 2 days
 mother and baby
 We took a boat trip around the island






 Nothing like being barefoot on a sandy beach especially when it's as soft as powder

 Beautiful warm water
 Vikings Cave


 We went snorkeling and saw some beautiful fish, sea urchins, and small sharks
Back in Bangkok in time for the Durian Festival.  You don't want to miss this!;)
