Our trip to Bangkok & Koh Chang

It's time for another bunch of trip photos! We spent the majority of our time in Bangkok, but we find that because it's so hot and we're so crazy busy while we are there, we never really take a lot of photos, but we did manage to snap a few while out and about! We also spent a few days on a beautiful island called Koh Chang which was so incredible!

Beautiful flowers at the weekend market.

As most of you know, the main purpose for our trips to Thailand are for business-they have incredible vintage clothing out there and we go a few times a year to buy stuff for our shops! This is a photo of a typical mall in Bangkok-so many levels and so many shops! We had never been to Union Mall before, but we will definitely go back the next time we're in Bangkok!

Watermelon shakes-another Thailand must!

In between the many hours spent shopping, we would sit by the pool on our hotel's rooftop, soaking up the 45 degree heat!

After many days full of shopping we decided to hop on a bus and then a quick ferry to an island called Koh Chang which is only a few hours from Bangkok!

Did we mention that beer tastes best on a boat?

We totally lucked out with the resort that we booked! Neither of us had been to Koh Chang before, but this is what $50 a night can get you! We stayed at Furama Xclusive Resort & Spa for three nights to recharge before heading back to Bangkok for more shopping. We lounged by the pool at any chance we got!

Doing what we do best...lounging around, drink in hand!

White Sand Beach was lovely to walk on...you can't tell, but it was crazy hot out.

After we got our fill by the beach (not possible) we would head back to our beautiful resort to shower and get ready for dinner.

In the evenings we would head to White Sand Beach for dinner and drinks! It was slow season while we were there, so it felt like we had the place to ourselves!
