Another highlight of my time in Chiang Mai was the elephants! We went to Maesa Elephant Camp where we fed elephants bananas and sugar cane and took pictures with them. Here I am getting lots of love from a few very friendly elephants!
Then it was bath time. They were so cute all splashing around in the river!
After that was the show where they danced, played soccer, and threw darts.
The best part was watching them paint! It was so amazing to watch- they were so precise with every stroke!
Here are the finished products! You could buy the paintings after they were done. I would definitely recommend a visit to Maesa Elephant Camp to anyone visiting Chiang Mai. Next up is our day riding elephants!

Mark & Mindy are foodies who were determined to honeymoon in a place where they could get sand, sun, culture, & wildlife- a honeymoon escape in Bali was just the ticket. The two stayed at Uma Sapna Villas and the Kayana Villas in Seminyak and ended their trip in Ubud at Komaneka at Bisma. In Seminyak, Mark & Mindy loved the beaches and array of resturants, while in Ubud they indulged in the serenity of the mountains, the art, and the vast opportunities for adventure that lay at their fingertips. The two went river-rafting, elephant trekking, walking in the monkey forest, and even took a cooking class all in Ubud!
Their favorite memory of their trip was picking out art for their new home at a local gallery. A wonderfully knowledgeable guide from the hotel took them to a boutique gallery, away from the tourist hot spots, where they walked around for hours looking at all of the different pieces. What a wonderful souvenir to bring back and have as a daily reminder of such a fabulous vacation!

After spending a few nights in Bangkok, we headed over to Chiang Mai and stayed at the Mandarin Oriental Dhara Dhevi. I had heard amazing things about this resort, and it certainly didn’t disappoint! I absolutely loved this resort and can’t recommend it enough for anyone visiting Chiang Mai!
The resort itself is absolutely gorgeous. It is a fairly new property, but was built to look like a traditional Lanna Kingdom from the 14th century.
The hotel has some suites and a number of villas. We had a beautiful villa overlooking the rice fields. We also had a private plunge pool and a lot of outside patios, which was so nice!
Look at the beautiful pool!
Another highlight of the resort is the spa. It has consistently been ranked as a top spa in the world, so I was really looking forward to checking it out. They have a huge variety of unique treatments and the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. A visit to the spa is an absolute must for any guests of the resort!
This is truly such a special and unique property, and the perfect place to unwind after the stress of a wedding.

The absolute highlight of my time in Bangkok was New Years Eve! I had heard there were amazing fireworks at midnight, but I had no idea just how incredible they would be!
I went to the party at The Peninsula Hotel in Bangkok. This hotel is located right on the river. They had an incredible fireworks show at midnight, and I had a perfect view! The best part was that most hotels on the river also had fireworks shows, so the entire river was filled with the most amazing fireworks show I have ever seen!
Here is a short video I captured with my Iphone!
Amazing right?!?! I was told that the fireworks every year for the King’s Birthday (Dec 5th) are even bigger!

I have so much to share from my amazing trip to Thailand! First up is the incredible hotel we stayed at in Bangkok. Hansar Hotel was our home for a few nights while in Bangkok. I loved this hotel! Great location, really modern design, and everyone was incredibly friendly.My favorite part of the hotel was their infinity pool! Perfect place to relax after exploring the city for a day.
Plus their suites are perfect for honeymoon couples in Bangkok. Look at that tub!
I will be posting more about our adventures in Bangkok and Chiang Mai over the next couple weeks, so be sure to check back!
