Today was a pretty relaxing day. It's so sad that our Thailand adventure is coming to an end. I can't believe it's been over a week since we've been traveling around this beautiful country.
Today we decided to have a relaxing morning and spent our time at the hotel before our flight to Singapore. We rented kayaks and ventured around Siray Bay and then ate and lounged by the pool for the remainder of our stay at our resort.
The weather has been very hot and humid here in Thailand. However, the worst part about our trip thus far is our really bad bug bites! As usual, I am allergic to mosquito bites so my bites were huge and swollen while Eric's were just weird looking.
But besides that, we had a blast in Thailand. From the beautiful temples, the delicious food and the friendly locals, we can't believe we did so much in such a short amount of time! Eric and I agree that the Grand Palace and elephant trekking was the highlight of our time here.
What was interesting about Thailand was that a lot of people thought I was a local. There were many times where people would approach me and speak to me in Thai. There were times where that came to my benefit- especially because locals get charged less for food at the night markets!
We headed to our afternoon flight to Singapore and got to our St. Regis hotel fairly late into the night.
The St. Regis is beautiful. By far the most elegant hotel room I've stayed in, the St. Regis is perfect in so many ways! It is located right off of Orchard Road (where all the shopping plazas are) and so we took a midnight stroll to check out the vibrant, clean city of Singapore.
We then headed back to the hotel to enjoy a few of the amenities before calling it a night.
We are very excited for our exploration of Singapore tomorrow! But why does everything have to be so expensive here?!
