Real Thailand at last!

Yesterday we had a great time! We were invited to go to the house of the family who work at our guest house gerat and Nui. they have two children Fanta (girl) who is 15 and Moodang (boy) who is 12. We went out into the countryside to their house and there were lots of other relatives there. we ate lovely food and then went off bamboo rafting. The Thais were full of fun and we got very wet! Lots of splashing and being very silly. Even the Thais we met along the way - that we didn't know - splashed us and everyone had a jolly time - plenty of screaming from Rosa and falling in the water from Melissa and Rosa. We then went back to the house for more hospitality, playing with puppies (of course), picking longans (fruits) and cotton pods. When we got back to our guest house we took Fanta, Moodang and Pom (a girl from Bangkok) out for pizza and haagan daz ice cream.

We had a great day and feel so happy that we have finally made some proper friends here and found out how great Thailand can be.

We got some good photos that Mark will add later.- Heather
