Hooray! We have arrived in beautiful Thailand! We have lots of Thai family, so it was really fun to make some Thai crafts and eat some delicious Thai food!
We started the day by making a Thai flower garland.. I remember when I was in Thailand, age 16, there were small children about 4 years old selling garlands like this (only 1000% more beautiful!) To the cars sat in traffic.. the memory stayed with me as it was so sad to see.. I know that unfortunately this is a way of life for lots of kids, but it does make me so sad! 😔
To make the garland, I used some cotton fabric, cut strips then with a needle and cotton, do a loose running stitch right through the middle, scrunching up as you go.. make a loop, then add the two bits at the bottom.. we also made some paper flowers add added them to our garland.. phuam galai is what the Thai people call. Some are exquisitely beautiful!
For lunch we had one of my favourite foods.. Chicken satay, peanut sauce and sticky rice. The kids loved it! So easy to make and super delish!
After lunch we took some lovely photos in our Thai inspired outfits.. (Dylan didnt want to join in on this one 🤣) but the girls just loved it! 😍
And we learned how to say “Hello” in Thai! 😊
For dinner, we had a Thai feast! Matt and I just LOVE Thai food so we went a bit OTT on the food front 🤣
We had a selection of Thai starters.. Fishcakes, sweetcorn fritters, spring rolls, prawn toast, satay left over from lunch, and lovely spicy Thai prawn crackers!
We also had some Jasmine rice and Pad Thai.. A green curry (that wasnt very green 🤣), beef pad gra pow (a spicy one for us, a chilli-less one for the kids) and some sticky pork.
Matt and I made everything from scratch, and although missing some fresh herbs, it was all really tasty!
Then after dinner.. we went to party.. The Full Moon Party! And just by chance, tonight was a full moon! It was meant to be..
We played music outside, put make up on and danced in the moonlight! It was alot of fun, until we got too cold.. which was after about 10 minutes 🤣🤣
Only problem with the make up was mum ordered what she thought was glow in the dark make up.. but it was UV make up so we couldnt get good pics.. but you get the idea 🤣
And just like all the other days.. we took some super photos ready for a fun packed day touring the wonderful Thailand!
