We went to THAILAND (Part 2: Beach Day Trip, Waterfalls, Elephants and 2-Hour Massages) | EP. 19

This is part 2 of our Thailand trip recap. In this episode, we discuss the day trips we went on to get some time out of Bangkok. We got to visit the beach at Coral Island after taking a car ride and boat ride to Pattaya City. The next day, we went on a floating market Later on in the trip, we did a day trip to Erawan Waterfall to see the 7-tiered waterfall where we swam and admired nature. That day we also experienced a true Thai massage and relaxed. Lastly, we experienced a problematic elephant sanctuary (unplanned!) that claimed to be only a bathing experience. Enjoy and go back to part 1 if you missed it last week!
