Visa Run #2: Malaysia
For the second time, we needed to leave the country to renew our visas in order to stay Thailand for another 90 days. This time, we decided to have a day at the beach instead of just a long bus ride to the border (Tom had a day off from his classes). We traveled to Langkawi, an island in neighboring Malaysia for a quick two day trip. In spite of the fact that all three of us girls were sick with fevers and colds, a good time was had by all, most of the time (we won't say that no complaining occured)......
Claire and Eliza slept for most of the flight to Langkawi.
The largest mosque in Langkawi. The country is predominately Muslim which gave it a very different look and feel from Thailand even though it's next door.
The ocean was a short walk from our hotel.
Since we were on an island, we ate lots of fish and other seafood like squid and shrimp.
Claire was a little fish and sand crab all day. Eliza on the other hand preferred lounging in the shade with her ice cream. She wouldn't let her feet touch sand or water all day!
Tom and Girls. Just because I love this picture. :) (At a park near our hotel).
So, it was a fast and sickly trip but enjoyable and it felt good to return to Bangkok. Sitting in the taxi listening to our driver speak Thai, watching the food vendors and buses flash by and listening to "Take Me Home, Country Roads" (seriously) playing, we felt like we were home!
